Universal easy spell sheet for all spellcasting classes (in English and German)


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hey everyone, I was looking around for good Pathfinder spell sheets in German on the internet today, since I couldn't find any that would work with any non-core classes (not even Paizo officials) I needed to make spell sheets of my own.

Now since I didnt want to go through all my books and tediously list down every last spell in its appropriate spell level for every single class, and since i thought that would just make the sheets unnecessarily huge, I decided to go for a simpler approach. I made a universal spell sheet, in which players can simply fill in all the necessary information, including spell names themselves.

Here's what I got:
English version

German version

Now this sheet by its nature is not only compatible with all magic Spellcasting classes in DnD 3.X and Pathfinder but also comes with a few extra perks:
You only need to have the spells on it that you actually use or your character actually knows, no preprinted spells bogging it down and making the lists unnecessarily large (or the print so tiny that you can't read your own writing between it anymore). You should fit everything even for a normal level 20 wizard onto two pages .
Without the pre-printed spells it is also easier to divide the space used for core and non-core spells when you take a lot of the latter.

Casters having only up to Level 4 spells, like ranges and paladins only need to print one page, as the sheets are divided into Level 0-4 and Level 5-9 with the Spells-per-day and save-dc chart on page 1.

If you intend to keep track of all the spells available to you as a Cleric or other divine caster, or your wizard or witch has an exceptionally large amout of spells known (maybe he copies every single unique scroll and spell from another spellbook into his own) you can just print the pages multiple times and you dont have to bother with redundant listings of preprinted spells.

Lastly I added a components-column to the spell lists so these are easily kept track of. That way you can easily tell which spells your character can still cast if somehow silenced, prevented from using his arms, component pouch, simply wearing armour or something else. I noticed that these things are rarely relevant but when they become relevant it always consumes a lot of time to browse the huge spells section of the core-rulebook for the spell just to find a single letter in its "components" section.

If you find them useful, feel free to download and/or print these for your own use. You can also edit and re-upload them if you want to (if you want to translate them into another language or add something you think I forgot).

Opinions are also welcome and if you happen to edit the sheet, it would be nice if you posted your version here, I would love to see what you did with it.


I'll also take advice on how to improve it myself by the way. Maybe include things I forgot (if there's any)

And sorry to everyone who doesn't like scribd. I tried to upload it to google docs but that would mess up the layout (both with and without converting it to google docs format)


Oh, this looks handy! I'm playing a bard, and keep the spells my character knows on my e-reader for easy access, and I think I'll add this sheet as well. I'll probably change the "prepared" column to something else (since bards don't prepare spells). Probably Spell Resistance.

Thanks!


Now that I think of it I forgot to add something to keep track of spells cast. I should add something or change the prepared column to cast/prepared. Will do that later today, as I have stuff to do now.

Maybe i could add a few things that make it compatible with psionics too, andm ake it a little more appropriate looking for characters who dont strictly cast spells, like alchemists.


Thanks! This looks neat.


Okay I uploaded a revision. The links in the first post should still be up to speed.

What I changed:
-added a slot where you can write down your caster class so if you have a multiclass caster (like a mystic theurge) you can easily keep track of both classes' spells on separate sheets.
-"prepared" and "per day" entries have now been changed to "Cast/prep." and "Cast/per day" to the level 1 through 9 charts so you have a place to note down how many spells you cast already. Spontaneous casters only need the "cast/per day" slot while leaving the "cast/prep" slots blank (or use the space for something else) while prepared casters use the "cast/prep" slots for their individual spells and only need the "per day" half of the "cast/per day" to keep track of how many spells are available daily.

I was thinking about adding two "extra" slots for each level to track additional spells, like domain spells, until I realized that for most classes extra spells are just extra spells known, which they can keep track of among their regular spells just as well and as for domain spells or specialty school spells, you can just mark those by hand, no need to use up space that other classes might need.

I'm still considering wether and how to include psionics and their power point system. Right now the sheets are filled to the brim, the space is pretty much optimally used which leaves no extra space for a Power point tracker.

Looks good, maybe post it one the german pathfinder board too, it's way harder to find german pathfinder stuff.
