While searching for a fillable .pdf version of the basic character sheet, I came across a post where someone had made one, and it was nice enough, but the tab order was really jumbled, and the designer globally linked some of the modifier fields, but not all of them. I took what he started and cleaned up the tab order, linked the global fields, and added a few calculations.
I feel really bad, because I can't find the original post where I first found the .pdf file, and I want to credit the original author. If anyone finds the post I'm talking about, I'd appreciate a comment linking the post.
Pathfinder Character Sheet Fillable .pdf
I'm pretty sure this will only work if you download the .pdf file and open it in Adobe Reader. Other .pdf viewers I've tried don't seem to work with the fillable fields. (Including the OneDrive .pdf Reader that likely opens the file when you click on the above link.) I've also not tried this on a tablet or phone yet. Might work. (shrug)
I linked all the Ability Modifiers and Base Attack Bonus fields. (Fill in one, the rest will populate automatically.) It will automatically add together the inputs for the following: Total Initiative, Total AC, Total Saves, Total CMB, Total CMD, and the Total for each Skill Bonus.
Regarding the Skill Bonuses, it will calculate Trained Only skills only if there is at least 1 rank for that skill. And the "3" for each Class Skill should be put in the Misc. Mod. column. And I removed the check boxes for marking the Class Skills.
You can also manually override any calculation by simply typing over the calculated result.
I removed the fields for logging the weight of each Gear item, because if you're playing a campaign and your GM is enforcing rules like Gear weight and carrying limits, you're probably not using the basic character sheet, anyway. Also, I removed any fields for listing individual spells known or prepared. Because nobody uses that little strip on the character sheet to keep track of spells. That space is just awful. No matter your experience playing Pathfinder, you can find a better way to keep track of spells.
