A slightly refined Pathfinder character sheet


Homebrew and House Rules


My OCD got the best of me, so I decided to make a slightly refined Pathfinder Character Sheet during last night's game session.

Here's the first page. If anyone likes it, I'll finish the back side and upload a completed PDF. My printer is broken, so if someone wouldn't mind printing out a copy, let me know how the white-on-black text looks. The bleed from black into white on most printers sometimes makes it difficult to read, so I made the text extra bold to compensate.

No one here seemed to be interested in it, but I got good feedback at my local Pathfinder Society game. Forgot a few things, so I've added Faction next to Pathfinder Number, and added in Prestige Points and Homeland in the description section.

Created the reverse side for the character sheet as well. So it's pretty much complete unless anyone finds any errors. I'm thinking of taking the spell stuff completely out and just making it its own sheet so there's more room for special abilities, gear, and feats.

There're two downloads: High Quality and Optimized. HQ just means that the logo is higher DPI and will print out nicer, and the vector lines aren't compressed so it'll look nicer on your screen. The Optimized version compressed the logo using JPEG, and it won't look as nice on your computer screen (but it should print out the same.)

On the first page, instead of "Prestige Points" it should perhaps read "Fame/Prestige"

I would also suggest doing something different with the listed slots under "Gear" on the second page. Most characters aren't going to fill every slot, so the slots they don't use would end up becoming wasted space. Players will likely end up scratching out an unused slot descriptor to use the space for some slotless item or piece of mundane gear that won't fit on the left side of the "Gear" section.

I agree that putting spells on a different page would be better. That little sliver of space on the second page for spells has never been enough. I would suggest replacing part of it with a section for spell-like abilities, which usually have uses per day and it would be nice to have little boxes to track them.

Also, my Pathfinder Society characters end up receiving a lot of boons that are hard to keep track of because there really is no proper place to put them on a standard character sheet.

Hope this helps.


That helps a ton, thanks for the suggestions. I'll make some changes, especially the boons stuff. I forgot about those. I also forgot about Fame. I'll have to add that in.

I think I'll just redo the whole reverse side. That little spell area has always been next to useless, especially for regular wizards that also need a spell book.

Here's the new one. I replaced Prestige Points with Fame, and moved Prestige Points to the back of the character in the Money area.

On the reverse side, I increased the number of AC Item slots by 1, added Prestige Points to the Money area, increased the number of Gear items, and made the preset locations for magic items a very light gray so you can easily write over it (or leave it there as a reminder of the number and type of magic item slots), increased the number of Feats and Special Abilities, and added a new Boons section.

This is amazing. Totally stolen for usage. All that needs to be done now, to make this perfect, is make it a fillable sheet.


It's a better sheet than standard (even though I don't play Society), but CMB and CMD still miss conditional and misc modifiers.
