The quality and execution of this Character Sheet is only exceeded by the strong level of support provided by Richard and the other members of the TOS Forum. It is truly an amazing product... Not to mention great support for PbP games!
But where on your site can I download said sheet?
I love this product. and i use it very frequently.
it makes my gaming more easy and i can concentrate more on the game instead of calculating numbers.
The creator is looking for a person with a mac to create also a TOS version for MAC.
so contcat Richard if you like to help him with that!
Bummer, not for Mac.
/sigh
Bootcamp ... ;)
Or you can be one of the people that converts it to MAC format ... ;)

Yes, THE ONLY SHEET rocks! The first real character sheet and if you are into paperless like I am (no more carrying 200 pounds of DnD stuff with me) it is the way to go.
Bummer, not for Mac.
/sigh
My apologies - I was unable to locate a Mac near me to test on it... Mac Excel is not 100% compatible with Windows's Excel (at least, not for a complex workbook like TOS+). I'll renew my efforts to locate a way to try on a Mac so I can support both systems.
But where on your site can I download said sheet?
Currently, only the DEMO of v2.0 is online (I'll be adding a DEMO for v3.0 soon). Note that v3.0 is similar in looks, but supports The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. TOS+ is not about flashy graphics and dazzling colors... it is about integration, so that people can leave the math to it and enjoy the game - including the application of complex effect to a Character in real-time (Haste for instance...)
But of course, you can use it as well on Paper... My 'laptop-less' friends use it on paper...

It's worth the money to purchase the full versions. So when you can, go for it. You are kind of limited with the demo version.
In case you do not have a laptop, you can print out your status page which includes everything in a nice clean order.
It is the best character sheet ever and I have played DnD for about 30 years.

You are correct: The primary usage of the Sheet is to create excellent (printed) output!! Because the majority do not use a Laptop during play, they can print the Front/Back worksheets, then add the Spell Planners, the Animal Companion/Familiar and even the Treasure worksheet as required!
The Sheet takes care of the computations, so you can focus on the Game - this is true with or without a Laptop!!

When it the preview going to have the Core Rule Book in it?
I am currently working on a small update (with bugfixes and such). Once I release this update to the Community, I'll work on making a 'v3.0' Demo for those who wish to see it up close, with CRB stuff.
I will make a post here once the v3.0 Demo is online.

i've never used this product b4, does it have options for gestalt combo's or custom feats and skills?

Yes, Gestalts is easily done in TOS+.
You can see how in the Gestalt Creation video.TOS+ features a LOT of customization ability. You can customize almost everything, and add effects as well. If you want a Wizard hat that gives you +2 to Perception, +1 to Will saves, +3 to Armor Class and Perception as a Class Skill, fine!! It can be done in the TOS+ .... and the stacking rules for the types you would decide to use for these bonuses would be applied automagically!
For a small example of using effects, try the Basic Effects #1 video :)

I love TOS+, recommend it to everyone as it is the most comprehensive, well supported piece of software out there for Pathfinder RPG. Nothing but positive things to say about it.
I totally agree!! But, I guess my opinion would be a bit biased... :P
On another subject, I have started adding stuff from the Bestiary.
Presently, the I added the 12 playable race from the Bestiary: Aasimar, Drow, Drow Noble, Duergar, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Merfolk, Orc, Svirfneblin, Tengu, Tiefling
Once I add a few other items (like animal companions and monstrous feats), I will release another update to the Sheet...
Cheers!

What is OpenOffice missing? Or does this xls work in OpenOffice?
If you migrated it to OO it would work on Mac/Windows etc.
The last version of Excel at home I used was 4.3 (circa 1998) and then briefly Office 2000 at work until we switched to OpenOffice.
So I don't have access to Excel, and I suspect the vast majority of people don't have access to it.

I've tried everything and TOS is the way to go. It runs smoothly and works like a charm at the gaming table. I was really resistive to having my laptop at the game, but after trying it for two sessions, I don't think I'd ever go back to paper only.
If you haven't tried TOS, give the demo a try. It takes a little while to figure out how the worksheets interact, but be patient. It's easy to add custom items, classes, skills, feats, anything really. It helps if you have a little experience with spreadsheets, but with the help of the wiki and faq, you'll figure it out quickly enough.

TOS+ uses vba and macro that is not supported in Open Office. Also, Open Office does not support password protection, which would allow anyone to modify and take credit for all the work done by RiTz21. It's not likely that TOS+ will ever be made compatible to open office.

TOS+ does indeed have some of a learning curve, but there are tutorials available to help understand the basics of how it works.
I've been using TOS+ since it's release as 2.0 and even TOS (now known as TOS FREE) since near it's first public debut. The power that this spreadsheet gives the user is massive. It's flexibility is impressive. The support available through both the tutorials and forum community cannot be beat. With TOS+ now also following the Pathfinder Role Playing Game, it will only grow to be an even better tool not only in character generation, but in maintaining the character as well. To me it's most powerful feature is the LapTop worksheet that allows you to show real-time live changes to a character after the effect of a haste spell, fatigue, bull's strength, barbarian's rage, and all the time never letting you worry if you forgot a bonus/penalty somewhere or messed up on the math.
Bugs are quickly fixed once found, if not found during the beta process, and the new release to these fixes is quick to be made public. In my days I've tried several Character Gen tools, in both excel and other formats. None of them accomplish the support and efficient implementation of the rules, and support more than one Rule System, as well as TOS+
Duni.
This is why I can not use this product. I am not about to spend US $150.00 (Office: Home and Student 2007) so I can run an RPG spreadsheet.
My office laptop has Excel, but I am retiring 12/31/2009 so I lose access to Excel, and my personal laptop only has Open Office on it which suits my needs.

I'm not a One Sheet Customer, rather I'm a HeroLabs customer..
But I'm always on the look out for new products. Here is some feedback..
Despite what the Bestiary lists as playable races, some of the adventure paths add character levels to the most damnable races.
Runelords Example (Warning Spoilers):
In HeroLabs, by next weekend, I might be able to build those races and add character levels to them. Thus far, as much as I love HeroLab, I don't find it all that easy to use the Editor. But to be fair to HL, not all of the necesssary functionality has been added to it yet, but will be shortly.
Getting back to your specific product.. a selling point to me is monster races that often have character levels added to them, regardless of whatever the Bestiary says. Tengu and Lizardfolk are great monsters, but neither has ever appeared in the big AP I'm running, but plenty of other monsters have been. In fact, it's been 20+ real world years since I used a lizardman in anything.
I don't know what you or your competitors can actually do about that, because I can appreciate the reluctance to add the whole damn Bestiary.. but if some character builder would actually look at the AP's and see what races are really getting character levels, that would be awesome.
TOS+ v3.107 has been released to the community!
This latest update features the 12 new playable races and the 25 new animal companions introduced by the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary.
The release notes for this update are available here.
Happy Gaming!

Bummer, not for Mac.
/sigh
I (finally) located a Mac to test out TOS+ on, but it would appear that Max Office 2008 does NOT have any implementation of Visual Basic!! *gasps*
I double checked and indeed the Wikipedia confirms that Office 2008 for Mac does not have VBA...:
Office 2004 has been replaced by its successor, Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, which is written to run natively on Intel Macs. However, Office 2008 does not include support for Visual Basic for Applications, so Microsoft has extended support and updates for the older Office 2004 out to January 10, 2012[1]. Microsoft expects to ship support for Visual Basic in Office 2010 for Mac.
If an 'older' version of Mac Office 2004 can be located, I can try to adapt TOS+ for it while waiting for that 2010 Mac Office version.

TOS+ v3.200 has been released!
Its main feature is the extension of Class options, to allow the creation of more complex classes, with more options (a la Rogue with their 'Rogue Talents').
As always, active subscribers can download this new update on the community forum!
Gift Idea: If you need an excellent gift idea for a role-playing friend, consider getting a Gift subscription!! Check here for more information!
Happy Holidays!!!

I have been a TOS+ user since 2006, and I must say that it has been the single most important tool to me as a DM. I can create characters and NPCs in record time with no (well, very little)chance at messing up the math!
I actually at first had Excel access from work, but then I ended up buying it for myself - JUST so I could run TOS+ - that is how good this is!
TOS+ is well worth the small cost to subscribe yearly, and it is certainly worth the cost of buying Excel.

I use TOS. I love it. It had a bit of a learning curve but once you get past that the customization is second to none.
I also have very high praise to the support department. They have a chat room you you can go to. I noticed there was an issue with one of the classes, I mentioned this in the chatroom. The head person over there fixed it immedatly and put out an updated version right there on the spot.
**NEWSFLASH**
For 2010, it is now possible to acquire the best auto-calculating Character Sheet for both Pathfinder RPG and D&D3.5, at half price!! (details)

You might want to make it a little more clear on the purchase page just how long a $20 subscription lasts.
This looks quite excellent! I have look at it, but thanks for a great product.
You might want to make it a little more clear on the purchase page just how long a $20 subscription lasts.It does tell you, on the second row of the payment table on the purchase page. It states "12 Month Forum Access"
And seeing that this option is only ticked for the $19.99 Subscription option, that's how long a subscription lasts :)
Exactly!!

TOS+ v3.42 has been released!
TOS+ v3.42 adds a new button on the Control Sheet which allows users to load data directly in their Character. This has multiple applications; you could use this to receive custom data (spells/feats/gear) from your DM, or you could create custom data files for your own characters. A wiki entry has been added to explain how this works and includes an example.
Another requested feature that is included in this update is the ability to Sort the skill list of the Character. Indeed, this can be quite useful, specially if you add many craft, knowledge, performance and profession skills to your character! You could even take out skill that you are not planning to use, to save space for the skills that you need. This should help make Characters more orderly!
Here are the complete release notes for this new version:
ADDED:
- Increased the size of the 10 Spell Books to 100 slots each
- Added a button in the Control Sheet to load data directly in a Character
- Added the ability to sort the Skills on the Front sheet
- Added the effects for the Pearls of Power
- Added a Dimensional Steps Tracker for Pathfinder Wizards (Conjurers)
- Added a Lay on Hands Tracker for the Pathfinder Paladin
- Added an option on the XP Sheet that will keep fractions when using the fixed-Hit Points system
MODIFIED:
- Defaulted the Effects List selector to Custom Weapons as opposed to All Effects
- Reduced the 'flickering' seen when switching between worksheets in Excel 2007
FIXED:
- Fixed the price of the Perl of Power for Pathfinder (which is half the price of D&D3.5)
- Pathfinder Dragon Disciples were not gaining their Breath Weapon (Su) ability at the proper level
- Pathfinder Dragon Disciples were missing their Blindsense (Ex) ability at 5th level
- Pathfinder Dragon Disciples were missing their Dragon Bite (Ex) ability
- Fixed the Sacred Conduit Trait which was using the old version of the trait
- The Giant Type has become a subtype in Pathfinder
- The Elemental Type has become a subtype in Pathfinder
- Fixed the Armor Training Trait to remove the circular reference
- In Pathfinder, the Inspire Courage ability uses a competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls instead of a morale bonus in D&D3.5
