Character Sheets, Cards, and Copyright

[Cheezgrater]

Paizo has made large-format character sheets available as a free download, and they cover all of the material given on the character cards and advanced character cards, as well as a decklist.

However, they are much larger than the original cards, and thus take up a lot more space at the table.

Since the free-download character sheets contain all of the gameplay elements from the PACG, including the character art, would it be considered a problem if someone were to scan the character cards and make the images available on a site such as BGG in a size/format suitable for reprinting?

It would be significantly easier, at least for my gaming group (and I assume others' groups as well), if we could print new/proxy copies of the character cards for use at the table instead of using the large-format sheets during gameplay.

If there is an issue with a third-party entity providing these, would it instead be possible for Paizo to provide copies of the character cards for download/printing?

Cheez,
You can always copy/paste just the "card" portion of the character sheets on your own.

You could also go low tech and cut the character card portion with scissors :0).

Or yeah - I could do that.

Thank you internets for pointing out the (stupidly obvious) solution!

Now off to go facepalm for having missed that.

A third party can't distribute it in the way you describe. Although paizo make it available for free, that is for personal use only. They still hold the copyright.
