Better than the Core (PHB) Character Sheet

5/5

Really well thought out, and better than the PHB's Character sheet! If you’re going to be playing the 4e character for a while, this inexpensive book is an excellent deal! I picked it up at GenCon and immediately noticed an improvement over the basic Character Sheet. The layout is much easier to use than the standard sheet. Everything you need in combat is front and center on page 1. I showed this to the 2 groups I play with and both have been impressed. It seems likely the majority of them will be getting one for regular play. At $5 a book its a great way to keep all your details together, giving more space and more convenience. If you’re going to be attached to a character this is probably the best way to conveniently collect all his information! For the price of $5 you can't expect a better product!

has anyone gotten this? Just curious on how it matches up with the 4e character sheets (not hard there)

I looked at a paper copy of this at the FLGS. I really liked the layout of the character sheet, and I haven't been impressed by any of the others I've seen so far. It's a fairly straightforward layout, and not overly cluttered with calculations like the WOTC form.

A question for the makers (or sellers) of this PDF:
Is this a form-fillable, or otherwise editable, PDF?

If yes, it'd definitely be worth the $5. Or more.

Nah, scratch that. I'm just gonna buy one right now, and I'll let you know.


20 pages:

1: front cover
2: PHB weapon chart (for reference, not your character)
3: 1st page of character sheet

It’s similar to the WOTC char sheet, but less cluttered, and more useful.
The upper 1/3 is about the same as WOTC’s, but the Movement/Senses/Attack Workspace has been replaced with a Hit Points/Second Wind/Saving Throw section.

The lower 2/3rds is divided into 2 columns. The left column is a ‘Power Index’, listing powers by At Will, Encounter, Daily, and Utility. The right column has sections for (from top to bottom): Action Points, Movement, Senses, Attack and Damage Workspaces, and Basic Attacks.

4: 2nd page: Skills, Feats, Magic Item Index (including slots), Race Features, Class/Path/Destiny Features, Languages Known, Rituals.

5: Weapons & Equipment, as well as a classic 1e-style Wealth section

Then it gets on to the less essential ‘Character Folio’ pages:
6: Title, description, illustration, and ‘Comrades in Arms’ (which’d be good for that horse and your animal companion)
7: History
8: Allies, Enemies, Family/Clan History

Then back to a good page:
9: Advancement (a place to list hit points, score increases, powers, and feats added or swapped at each level)

And again to the fluff:
10: Stronghold/Hideout (mostly a piece of graph paper to map said location)
11: Dominion (Hex paper to map it!)
12: Campaign Notes/Legends & Lore
13-16: Adventure Journal (same on each page)
17: House Rules (mostly blank with lines)
18: top half is a nice, simple one-fold table card to put your init, passive skills, and defenses on. Bottom half is the OGL.
19: Armor table and castle-and-village illustration
20: Back cover

The good: I really like the layout
The small disappointment: it’s not form-fillable, and in fact, the 1st page is a single image. Any form-building is going to need to be done on one’s own. On the bright side, copy and paste is enabled, so that is possible.

I picked it up at Gen Con (as well as the DM Character Codex) and found it much better than the PHBs char sheet.


CORRECTION/UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST:

The Character Codex is now form-fillable! I downloaded it today, and it is extremely convenient / nice.

Thanks to Goodman for updating this product. And thanks to Paizo for emailing me about the update!

Joseph told me that based on customer feedback, they're going to be revising the forms slightly in the near future, so it should get even better.
