Linux open source user / Non-autofill character sheets?

[BartS]

I am on linux and have been looking for a character sheet. I have tried a bunch. The only one's I found fill able were autofill which I don't mind so much but I can't fill out a lot of stuff on my computer. Anything that's marked with a zero were it does the auto-math I can't fill out.
Another thing I use mostly open source stuff and won't use adobe products. Nothing against people that do. The people that made the sheets I tried put a lot of hard work into them and I really appreciate it, but they don't work for me.

The only other sheet I found was the a google docs sheet and it does absolutely everything for you. It levels up your character fills everything in and that kind of takes a lot of the fun out for me. I don't mind autofill sheets but when I level up I like to go through the SRD and go back and fill in all the stuff myself. I catch rules I miss and it's just part of the fun for me. I also like to create a lot of my own content so something that does absolutely everything doesn't exactly fit into the game I am playing.

Don't have enough money for any books I am kind of poor but from what I have seen it starfinder looks great. I have enough with the SRD to get the rules and Will be making my own maps/quests/enemies. I know starfinder is young but it really looks like a great game. If I could just find a character sheet that I could fill in but wasn't autofill or something online that didn't do 100% of everything.

I will say this though the sheets I have tried looked great and the people that created them did a really good job.

I use LiberOffice Calc Sheet for all of my RPG sheets. I have 3.x/Pathfinder, Starfinder, and FF Edge of the Empire Starwars sheets all done up

I believe PCGen will work on linux. It's not just a fillable character sheet, but free character generation software, so not necessarily what you want. I believe it's also relatively easy to program your own content into it. The Starfinder stuff in PCGen is currently alpha, but as you probably know as a linux user, alpha for free stuff is often very usable.

How did you get libre office calc to work for your sheets? When ever I try to fill about the skill scores a little green boxes surround the place I put the score and it doesn't fill in. Also the types skills are nudged over further than they should be covering the total boxes of my skills. Maybe your using a different sheet than me?

I normally generate my own characters thanks though. For pathfinder I had an online autofill sheet that worked great. It didn't do much. Just totaled skills up mostly. I have two operation systems on my hard drive I forget the site it's on my other linux install.

I just generated a sheet and then started plugging in formulas to tally things for me. I have a huge spreadsheet of feats and spells from 3.x and pathfinder (havent done it for Starfinder yet) that are just cells with comments inserted that you can copypasta into the sheet.

Its not super fancy but its adaptable and just needs inputs from you to do all the math and stuff for you

Its definitely not something with a fancy graphic interface i went with function over form that works with how my brain works more than anything. I can send you a copy if you want though might give you some ideas if nothing else

PCGen works just fine since it's a java program.

I found some that worked for me and didn't have any auto-fill. I just had to upload them to google drive and open them with doc hub. I think the character sheet is suppose to have auto-fill parts but it just works like a non auto-fill sheet which works well for me.

I also found a starship sheet that works well also. The one at 0-hour is great. The starfinder society one works just fine too but if you add custom parts it's not on that sheet. It would work great for people that play in society or just use stuff from the books.

I read a bunch about starfinder before I looked at it and was kind of Leary. All the changes from pathfinder I see I really like. Some of the starship speeds I might change but really the system and ship creation is
spectacular.

I know this is a paizo forum I am not one of those everything paizo touches it gold types of guys. This really seems like they went out of their way to make the system as good as it can be and they always have little notes about how to change things or adapt things for home game systems and rules.

I am going to wait till I make and adventure and play through it some but I will probably make a post saying what I think about it. So far I am more than impressed.

I've cooked up a HTML5 character sheet with optional auto-fill. (Press the + and = buttons to use it, ignore if you don't want it.)

It's tested working on Firefox and Chrome for Ubuntu, as well as Chrome for Android.

It's hosted and developed on Github.
