Hi everyone,
I've been tinkering away at a pretty, cloud-based character sheet for some time, and I think it's ready to be put through its paces:
It's in open beta, so you might come across a bug or two, and it's only been properly tested on Chrome and Safari at the moment.
It's targeted mainly at tablets at the gaming table, and people from my group have in fact been using it on iPad and Android for about 6 months. It requires a modern browser, and either a Google or GitHub account (more login options to follow as desired), and is free to use.
Here are some of the features:
- Digital, enhanced version of the regular paper character sheet
- Cloud-based storage, access from any device
- Complete with all OGL spell descriptions right at your fingertips
- No assumptions; house-rules friendly
- Track prepared and cast spells and spell-likes
- Share a read-only statblock view with your GM or players
- Comment on the statblock
- Annotate feats, gear, and more
There's a GitHub page to track issues.
Let me know what you think!

Thanks Xris,
On the statblock version, it pulls Perception from the skills listing, and from the Special Abilities it grabs things like Darkvision and Low-Light Vision. There isn't a single dedicated point on the regular sheet, but the Special Abilities section is meant to include any vision based abilities.
I'm open to all feedback though, and may change things around a bit on future versions, but I'm trying initially to stay fairly close to the standard paper sheet.

I am not familiar with the Next browser. :( The button is really just a link to http://charactersheet.co.uk/pathfinder, so it's weird that that wouldn't work.

I like that you have the OGL spells in there, but when trying to add spells from Deep Magic, I found out you can't edit the Description field. I had to put all the spell info into Notes. Which does have the benefit of making it pop up on the shared sheet as a mouseover to look it, but is more annoying to read on the editable version.
Oh, almost forgot... when adding items like spells, etc, it sorts them in alphabetical order when editing, but does NOT do so when you view the shared version... it shows them in the order you added them.
EDIT: I just want to add again how much I like this so far. I was using Google Docs before this, and this is so much easier.

That's correct, the spell description field is read-only, and grabs its data from an export from the spells database graciously maintained by d20pfsrd. If/when the Deep Magic spells make it into that, I'll update on my end. In the meantime, putting them into Notes works, and is what I do with custom spells, but I agree it's not as nice. It's on my list of nice-to-have upgrades, but a little behind some more pressing ones at the moment. :)
Regarding the sort on the statblock spell listing, that is an oversight. I'll endeavour to fix soon.
Here are also a couple of things that aren't immediately obvious perhaps:
- The "Mark" button in the spell dialog adds a slight extra border to the spell "pill" to differentiate it from the others. I use it to mark domain spells, for example.
- You can remove melee and ranged attacks, and armour items by hovering over the black label to the left of them and clicking the "X" that appears.

I have been playing around with your app over the last few days. I would like to say that I'm notably impressed. It's got a clean, well-designed look, very professional in appearance. It's organized, simple, and useful.
I have a couple of quick questions:
Thank you for such a helpful app!

Hi Mottokrosh!
First, I want to say that I absolutely love your character sheet; it looks great, it has an easy feel to it, the modifier populating (or whatever the word is) is awesome, and I love that it lets me look up spells.
A few questions/suggestions:
-It would be great if the spell lookup function would limit you to the level of the spell for your class, or if it would just automatically map it to the proper level.
-Are you going to add lookup functions for feats and special abilities?
-The equals sign thing sounds sweet.
