Linked below is a free Excel character sheet creator that I have been working on for a very long time now.
I believe I have worked out the most significant bugs, but now I would like to recruit some alpha phase testers to give it a whirl.
Here's some information on the sheet in its current state:
- It is designed for printing off a character. Although it can be used for in-game play on a laptop, that is not its primary focus at this time.
- It is a 4-page landscape/horizontal design. (Page 1: all stats & skills; Page 2: all text related information on abilities, feats, etc.; Page 3: equipment; Page 4: Weapons & Armor)
- It is not a replacement for the Pathfinder Core Rulebook - you will likely need to make occasional references to your Rulebook.
- Ease of Use as its primary design focus. Basically just follow the tabs at the bottom and by the end you should have a character ready to print off. Any yellow field, is a field you should be completing. Any green field is an optional field.
- Customization as its secondary focus. I wanted to make it easy for people to add in non-core rule information.
- Non-Excel users should not have a problem using the sheet.
- This sheet does not (and will likely never) create a spell list. (There are already other sheets out there that do this quite well).
- In the future I do plan to have a Stat-block option.
- Currently, only base classes are selectable. (Although Prestige Classes will appear as an option - I have not input the needed information)
- Excel macros will need to be enabled under your security settings.
- The sheet is 13+ MB in size.
- Did you find it easy and intuitive to use? (Specifically the "Levels" sheet?)
- Did you encounter any errors?
- Were there any problems encountered in printing the sheet?
Here is what I would like to hear about:

Current Error messages:
On loading into Office 2008: Error this sheet is using Visual Basic Macros which is not compatible with the current version of MS Excel, Macros Disabled
Error on Weapon Curved Elven Blade with Weapon Finesse Feat,
Does not give correct bonus to hit (dex rather than Strength)
HP calculation does not allow standards allowed by PSS, or manual entry into the field
When are you adding the various trait systems or did I overlook them in the sheet?
Could you add the PSS experience track rather than the standard XP experience track?
Printing had to change output to "fit to 1by1 page" else it printed the single page onto 4 pages
Once I did this, print outs look good.
Level input and skill additions were very intuitive and easy to use.
Thanks for the hard work!!

Thanks for mentioning these.
Visual Basic Error: This one I have no idea how to fix. Although I created the spreadsheet in Excel 2007, I saved it as Excel 97-2003 format. The spreadsheet works fine with Excel 2002 which is on my other computer. It sounds like these "older" macros do not work with 2008, even though I created them with Excel 2007. Perhaps I may have to save this also as a .xlsm file to ensure it will work for 2008 users.
Elven curved blade: Thanks for mentioning this. I was not aware that it was a finnessable weapon... that will be an easy fix.
HP Calculation: I'm not familiar with PSS, but I'm guessing perhaps that's a reference to the Pathfinder Society? I left in the Beta Options for starting HP, but if the Pathfinder Society does have another option then I would like to include it. Could you please confirm this for me. The 1st level HP's are auto-calculated based on the starting HP method, so it is not selectable for entering in HP. Next to it though in the Extra HP column you can alter your starting HP.

the Visual Basic error didn't seem to effect any of the rest of the form.
the HP calculation was very strange, I tried simply selecting the "standard" option and it added the HP plus the con bonus, then added the con bonus again.
Example ranger level 1, d10, con 12 (+1) ended up with 12 HPs
The Pathfinder Society uses a set HP advancement rather than rolling it.
I tried placing it into the Extra HP column (which was not write protected), and unselected all the roll options above, but the total HP column ignored the extra HPs.

Traits: I'm still undecided. My understanding is that they are not "officially" part of the PFRPG. I even confirmed this with the Paizo staff around Beta time, so I did not design the sheet to incorporate them. Although in many respects it would be fairly easy to add them, it may be low on my "to do" list. For my own reasons, I am not a big fan of traits, but I do believe I am in the minority for feeling that way.
PSS Experience: Sure I can add in another exp track, I just can't currently find it thought. I took a quick look through the Pathfinder Society Guide and didn't see such a table... but I did scan through it pretty quick.
Printing: I was afraid of that. When I upgraded my printer from an inkjet to a laser, I then gained a larger available print area in Excel. However, now I realize that in order to try to accommodate most printers I may have to try to re-size my pages. I'm glad you were able to find a way to make it work... but I can't help but feel that many probably won't take the time to fiddle around with the printer settings. I'll have to do some brainstorming on this.
You mentioned the macro error, and I was curious if the "clear sheet" buttons work for you, and/or whether the page 2 information appears for you?

Yep, I found the double Con bonus error. I'll fix this and put in a selection for the Pathfinder society standardized HP's.
Thanks for taking the time to find and post all these.

Pathfinder advancement isn't a table simply 1 xp per adventure (Scenario) and it takes 3 xp to advance one level.
So for instance a Ranger would be 5/2, with 5 being their experience points earned so far and 2 being thier current level
Page 2 I get #Name errors on all the columns
and the clear button on each page does not work (Macro "blah blah" cannot be found)
The Pathfinder Society uses a set HP advancement rather than rolling it.
I tried placing it into the Extra HP column (which was not write protected), and unselected all the roll options above, but the total HP column ignored the extra HPs.
Another silly error of mine not adding the Extra HP's. I'm sure I even tested that several times. Sigh. I try to test the heck out of my sheets before I release them so silly little errors like that do not exist.

Hey, this has been one the best sheets I've found out there so far, keep up the good work, some that I've tried are formated so badly on printing that I've simply given up on them.
Kudos!

PSS Exp: Sure I can add that in.
Page 2: This name error will appear when the macro does not load. Sadly, this is one of the greatest features of the sheet -- having all the descriptions. I also added check boxes for all uses per round/minute/day abilities which is also a significant feature. I will save all copies of future sheets as both a .xls and a .xlsm
Clear buttons I'm pretty sure the .xlsm copy will fix this.
Thanks for the input on the sheet. I struggled for days trying to fit all my information into the "conventional" character sheet format. I have always been a 2-page character sheet follower. After I tried my little landscape format experiment, I must say that I no longer miss only having 2 pages. I also now appreciate not having to use a magnifying glass to read my character sheet :)

I have fixed everything you mentioned except the printing problem. That I will have to leave for tomorrow.

Ogre's Sheet - Excel 2007 Macro Enabled
Good work Kor, I appreciate it.
I'm going to see how it works in Open Office, my WP of choice.
I'll report back.
Thanks.

I would be interested in knowing if it works in Open Office. Please try both the .xls sheet (the link at the top of the page) and the .xlsm sheet (the link 3 posts up from this post). If neither of those work, I do believe that Excel 2007 gives me an option to save in an open office format too.
I am another who would like traits, as the PFS uses them, and that's as official as it gets for any organized play....
To hopefully save some time on testing, I think you'll find the XLSM/XLSX/XLSB formats all function oddly in OpenOffice. At least that's what I've found so far in testing for my sheet. The XLS format seems to work fine, but there are some Excel functions (like IFERROR) that will not function in OpenOffice no matter the format.
And perhaps another time saver if you do decide to add trait functionality--I've got all the traits in my sheet in a single table, so you could rip it out and add the data in. It includes all traits released as OGC by Paizo to date, so that should be a big leg-up on data entry.

I tried to design my sheet to run on Excel 2002 and up, so I did not use any "IFERROR" statements (so I used a whole lot of "IF(ISERROR)" statements so hopefully that should not cause problems.
It seems the request for traits is growing, so I will likely move them up in the priority list. Sure, I would appreciate the list you have.
Traits Note:
Although this sheet does not have traits, the current customization options certainly allows for most any benefit a trait would provide. (Well, sort of. On the Custom screen you could type in the name of the trait and then just make the needed adjustments on the applicable sheet. I have just realized that on the Custom screen I have a selection for "Other", but I don't have "Other" items appearing on Page 2. Tonight I will fix that and perhaps add in a "Trait" category as well.)
You might want to include the region specific feats from the Campaign Setting as well; most of these are available for official use in the Pathfinder Society.
They are all in the sheet. I probably just have to change the source coding on them. I'll look at that when I get home tonight.

You should be good to go in OO with an XLS file, then--I've found so far that as long as the Excel 2007 compatibility checker comes out clean for older versions of Excel, then OO works great. Of course, I don't have any macros so I can't say how those might function
It seems the request for traits is growing, so I will likely move them up in the priority list. Sure, I would appreciate the list you have.
No problem. I always keep a link to the latest version of my sheet in my profile, so you can snag it there at any time. I'm about to release v.0.7 tonight, but it won't have any changes to the traits so getting an earlier version shouldn't matter.
The latest release is up. I've now created a download page to make things easier:
http://www.pathfinderportal.com/ogresheet.html
Although I will not be adding in traits for a little while, you can now select "Trait" on the Custom screen.
All Campaign Setting feats should now be shown (The do not currently check for pre-requisites).
If anyone has any issues in Open Office with macros not working, please let me know as I can also save the document in an Open Document format.
Thanks.

I'm still looking for some more volunteers to try out this sheet. I am especially interested in hearing about how it's printing for various people.

I think this is great. I'm using Excel 2003, and it's very intuitive and easy enough to jump right in and start making characters.
One suggestion: I'd like to be able to take a condensed stat block and output to HTML for use in an online game. Another handy feature would be the ability to export/import character data, so that data doesn't have to be re-entered every time there's an upgrade to your file.
I found it today and gave it a shot and I could not even choose a class. I may be dumb but it was not intuitive for me at all.
I'm guessing that you did not first select your race on the Stat page. Basically, just start with the left most tab and work your way across in order. If you do this, you should have no problems, and should find it easy to use. I will include some basic instructions on the front page for using the sheet.
I'll give using it a shot...I'm not a big excel guru, but I can try it out!
I'm still looking for some more volunteers to try out this sheet. I am especially interested in hearing about how it's printing for various people.
I tried it, but didn't comment earlier because I am not the "right" person for it.
Because I boycott M$ products because of the price point (I can't justify the cost when quality free alternatives exist), I am using OpenOffice 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.10.
And, as you can imagine, many things didn't work right.
It does show great promise, I do really like how you don't assume the class at first level has to be the favored class.
One thing I might be able to comment on is that I couldn't find the Mounted Combat feat. But that might be because of the skill point requirement... And after I added 1 point to ride I still couldn't find it. But, that could be because of my setup.

Great, I would really like to hear back from people who don't have a lot of Excel experience. In my mind I think that a non-Excel user should not have difficulty using it... but I've been so entrenched into Excel for so many years now that I'm unsure I can be a good judge of that any more :)

Well, I can't say I blame you. I'm unsure if I strongly dislike M$ or outright hate M$ (for many reasons) -- however, there's a lot of impressive things about Excel 2007 that actually keeps me from declaring an all out war on M$.
Please check back tomorrow at the webpage link (http://www.pathfinderportal.com/ogresheet.html)and I will have an Open Document format I would like some people to test. (I'm unsure how it will handle the few macros that I have that are essential to the information shown on Page 2 of the sheet).
As for Mounted Combat -- it does come up as an available selection after putting 1 point into ride.
New Version available (v0.13)
http://www.pathfinderportal.com/ogresheet.html
A few minor fixes, and I added in content for the first 3 prestige classes (Arcane Archer, Arcane Trickster, Assassin).
I also tried to save the spreadsheet in an Open Document format, however that stripped away all the macros and drop-down lists, so the sheet was rendered useless. I will only be able to save this in .xls and .xlsm formats.

I haven't tested this with all your various weapons, but your spread sheet is giving a -4 penalty for elves taking an elven curved blade, applying an exotic weapon penalty to the attack.
Per the players guide, elves weapon familiarity is applied to all weapons with elven in their name as a martial weapon.
Same goes for 1/2 Orcs to "Orc" weapons, Dwarfs to "Dwarf" Weapons, gnone to "Gnome" weapons, and halfling to "halfling" weapons.

Good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.
Downloaded it and worked just fine for me. However, I've noticed during the armor and weapon creation, you can't choose the "standard" outfit choices as well as a Wand as a main weapon. If you opt out of your armor choice, it won't calculate AC, flat-footed or otherwise. Other than that though, it's the cleanest PFRPG sheet I've seen. Great job!

This was apparently just an error for the Elven Curve Blade because I had the proficiency checking for an Elven Curved Blade. All the other racial weapons should be working fine.
When I looked at the Orc Doubleaxe I also noted a -4 penalty, but it was not a non-proficiency penalty. I have it default slotted at a double weapon, and assume that you are attacking with the second end as well. If this is not the case, then you would need to change the Weild type to one-handed or two-handed.
Thanks for mentioning this. This will be fixed in the next version.
I'm trying to decide where to incorporate talents. I just need to confirm a few details first.
Is 1st level the only time you would get talents?
Is the normal rule, 2 talents at 1st level?
Is there any other way that you would gain talents? (Other than just a kind GM).

There is a feat called additional talents, which (I believe) lets you pick 2 other talents.

Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for noticing that armor issue, I'll have that fixed on the next version.
RE: Standard Outfit choices - The armor category is ideally just for selecting any armor that gives you an armor AC bonus.
RE: Wand weapon selection - The weapon category is for weapons that cause damage and are listed in the weapons table of the core rulebook.
In my beta version, I will be including a "store" where you will be able to gear up and have everything appear on the equipment page.

Wands do damage though. In the form of Magic Missle, etc.. Consider it the casters "Ranged" weapon. As far as the Standard Outfits though, for Magic Users and Monks, it's just nice to have the option on the sheet so other players know what you are wearing. Monks for instance take penalties if they wear anything other than cloth armor.

The file itself is not zipped. You should be able to just save it to a location and then double click on it, which should open up Excel. If that is not working that way, then perhaps after you save it to a location, then open up Excel and then browse to the saved file's location through Excel's open file menu selection. (Sorry if all this sounds to basic -- I'm just trying to cover off all bases).
If for some reason your browser is detecting the file to be a zip file, then I think the browser is the problem. Maybe try a different browser like Firefox?
Have you tried the links from my webpage I am using to host it? (Although they point to the same files so there shouldn't be a difference).

Incorporating wands into the weapons sheet would be a little tricky. All the current weapons have all the same rule set (size damage, attack bonuses, proficiency, etc.). None of the above applies to wands, and wands are based on the spell the wand emulates, which of course varies depending on the caster level of the wand. I'm unsure if there are really any other wand-based bonuses that apply to their use (other than UMD). I will consider this as a selection though for those that want to keep all their offensive-based weapons on one page, be-it sword or wand. I also would like to incorporate a checkbox management system for wands to track charges uses.

I'm really uncertain what I want to do for spells. At this current time, I have no plans to make a spellsheet creator. I really do miss Ema's Spellsheets (for those that are familiar with his 3.5ed sheets, you understand the loss) - but the evil, (can't post the words I want to use here) WotC told him to kill his resource. I tried to convince Ema to jump on board with Pathfinder, but he's in more of a wait and see approach. I'm currently teaching myself ASP.NET and MySQL, so I may construct a similar web-resource in the future. (Hopefully someone beats me to it :)
For now, James Fassler's, "Pathfinder sCore" is the next best thing to Ema's sheets. I suspect that if I were to build an Excel spellsheet creator, it would probably be very close in appearance to sCore, so I'm unsure if much would be gained by me doing work that someone else has already done.
I may in the very least create a spellsheet for spontaneous casters to record their known spells, and for wizards to record their spells in their spellbook. (Perhaps this is what you were asking, so in that case, the answer is "most likely yes".)

Is there any other way that you would gain talents? (Other than just a kind GM).I'm really uncertain what I want to do for spells. At this current time, I have no plans to make a spellsheet creator. I really do miss Ema's Spellsheets (for those that are familiar with his 3.5ed sheets, you understand the loss) - but the evil, (can't post the words I want to use here) WotC told him to kill his resource. I tried to convince Ema to jump on board with Pathfinder, but he's in more of a wait and see approach. I'm currently teaching myself ASP.NET and MySQL, so I may construct a similar web-resource in the future. (Hopefully someone beats me to it :)
For now, James Fassler's, "Pathfinder sCore" is the next best thing to Ema's sheets. I suspect that if I were to build an Excel spellsheet creator, it would probably be very close in appearance to sCore, so I'm unsure if much would be gained by me doing work that someone else has already done.
I may in the very least create a spellsheet for spontaneous casters to record their known spells, and for wizards to record their spells in their spellbook. (Perhaps this is what you were asking, so in that case, the answer is "most likely yes".)
Right on. By the way, I've discovered that if your PC has a 20 score on any attribute and you get a +2 to that same attribute (due to racial mod) the calculation gets very angry at you. Just thought you should know. Again, great Excel generator.

Hrmm... could you define "gets very angry" :) I didn't notice any problems, except the following:
If you put a "20" into the the Ability Score box, when you have a Boint Buy method selected, you get a "N/A" error in the Point Cost box. (Which is fine, since you can't buy more than an 18). There were a few little things though that I needed to clean up forumula-wise so this will be fixed on v0.14
Also, when entering a Misc Mod, they were not calculating properly.
I will have v0.14 posted tonight, so please let me know if you still see the "angry" error.
Thanks.
