I’ve uploaded some files to help others in presenting their homebrew characters and cohorts. The zip file includes a character/cohort template (Microsoft Word file) and a portrait workbook (Photoshop psd).
The template is based on the character sheets in the Core Set and the Curse of the Crimson Throne AP.
I’ve used the Arial Narrow font for most of the text. If you are willing to pay the money, I recommend replacing the Arial Narrow font with the GoodOT-CondNews font (or something similar), keeping the font sizes the same. Leave the character/cohort race/name and role fonts as Impact; and leave the checkboxes in the Wingdings 2 font.
You can use the psd file to create portraits similar to those on the official sheets. I recommend that the background of the interior be either white or use a background/texture of your choice. The red layer is used to cut out all of the portrait frame and portrait that you don’t need – if you want the portrait frame to appear as it does on the official sheets (i.e., with the right side cut off). The instructions for re-sizing the image appear in the red instruction box on the sheet. The placement measurements can be wonky and really depend upon where you place the cursor when you insert the image – the easiest thing to do is to manually place the portrait so that it covers the silhouette image that appears on the template, move the portrait to the back, delete the silhouette image, then move the portrait to the front (you’ll know when you forget to do the last step because the lines from the hand size section will appear in front of the portrait). The finished portrait image is deliberately larger than you'll need, allowing the image to be shrunk down to size without (hopefully) looking too bad (not everyone has vector image editors, so I kept it rasterized).
The darker green color used for the character sheets is from the legacy PACG character cards. The lighter green color used for the cohort sheets matches (hopefully) the color used on the core cohort cards.
There is an extra blank page at the end. The finished sheet(s) should be saved as a .pdf, then the pages you don’t need can be deleted.
