For a project I'm working on I was planning on having a brief step by step about what each part of the character sheet means; the idea was to have it filled out and then cut up the page into multiple images to be inserted into the project to only show the fraction of the page being talked about: for instance, when talking about ability scores and how to generate them there would just be an image of the ability scores part of the sheet. This didn't seem like it would be an issue, but then I reread the Community Use Policy and saw:
"You may use the contents of the Community Use Package at paizo.com/communityuse/package. You may use only those versions of the Paizo Materials from the Community Use Package. You may not alter the color, typography, design, or proportions of the logos or icons, or otherwise modify them . Should an item be removed from the Community Use Package, you don't need to remove it from existing projects, but you may not use it in future projects."
The character sheet is in the Community Use Package, but it doesn't really have any logos or icons (besides the Pathfinder at the top); would I not be allowed to do what I was planning because of this? If breaking the sheet up into multiple images would be unacceptable, how about just having a scanned image of the filled in sheet intact, or would that still be bad because it's "modified"? Thanks for any input.
Scaling down images is different than altering the proportions, in this context. Scaling down would leave the ratio between length and width intact, while altering the proportions would not.
I'll poke Vic to see what his stance is on your Community project.
Thanks a lot for the prompt response. Glad to know I can proceed with confidence :D
Yo, as someone who cannot wrap her head around the character sheets (dyscalculia is the literal worst) I am crazy interested in this. You planning on posting your project anywhere?
Probably not, it's a student project I'm doing for a web design class I'm taking... I tried to make it useful, but given the time constraints for it I'm not really confident that the advice it gives is all that helpful, but I'll PM you a link to it if you want >_<

Just noticed this. Uh, if you still have it... I'd love to take a gander!
