There is a new Online character sheet in the neighborhood and I am trying to get users. My inspiration to pursue this project was the lack of tablet-friendly online sheets. So, I took the Google Nexus and the Surface tablet (the latter being the one I own), and decided to build a simple, light-weight site, geared to working well on tablets.
I wanted something that automated many of the calculations, but also displayed why the numbers are the way they are, so that you, as a user, still see how calculations are basically made.
If you want a TL;DR, here's the site to try it out for yourself: Pathfinder Sheets Online.
In short though, I want this to be a great experience for advanced players and newbies. One good way is to get users and feedback from those users. If something breaks, or is not calculating properly, let me know at feedback@pfsheetsonline.com and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
If you want to know what the site can do before visiting, read below:
So far, I cover all the Core, Base and Alternate classes and all of the Core and Featured races. After choosing a class, that class is not able to be chosen again, and neither are any alternate classes (for Paladin, Rogue and Cavalier). Prestige Classes coming soon.
You can customize your attribute numbers. Humans, Half-Elfs and Half-Orcs get to choose a custom attribute to modify.
One of my favorite features is the Spellbook. Each caster class gets its own Spellbook it can open and is shown the max level of spells it can cast, if they can cast that spell level yet. If they can, the Spell DC, Spells per Day (with attribute-based Spell per day modifiers calculated in), and if they have a known spell limit for that level (Oracles, Sorcerers, etc.) is all shown. You can prepare spells and keep track of how many are prepared if that class requires memorizing spells. A future enhancement is to allow to memorize as a metamagic spell so that it shows up in the proper spell slot when browsing your spells.
Skills are accounted for as well, auto-calculating based on Base Ranks, if it's a Class Skill and the corresponding Attribute modifiers, plus any custom rank bonuses that the user enters.
Lastly, there are three note sections: one for general notes, and one each for Feats and Traits. Hopefully I can get all of the Feats and Traits loaded into the database but this will take some time. d20pfsrd.com does not have all Alternate Racial Traits from the Featured Races in its Traits list, and the Feats are formatted poorly and can not easily be loaded into my Database without errors.
Currently, Armor and Shields are supported, but not weapons. Which is definitely a future feature.
And then the last big feature I want to implement is a custom item system that as you add items (especially wearable clothing) to your inventory, you can add stat modifiers to them so that your stats are modified accordingly without having to add the extra bonus points to each stat yourself.
Looks promising. Don't have my tablet with me but judging by the desktop version, it's already a good start. I'll keep an eye on this.
Looks like somthing i could use. Keep it up:)
Thanks for the feedback and the encouragement. I definitely have many more things to do and some big features to implement.
