Color Coded - Auto Calculating - Character Sheet forDungeons and Dragons (5e)
'm excited to bring you Project Gnome 3.12 of my a color coded character sheet for 5e Dungeons and Dragons. It is both form fillable and auto calculating. Put in your level and your ability scores and then watch your skills and abilities auto-populate.
The sheet is redesigned with a crisper look¸ the removal of some seldom used columns¸ and then using the repurposed space to add in more information. For the first time¸ I offer space and levels for multi-class characters. Also¸ now at your fingertips are languages¸ tools¸ weapons¸ and armor proficiencies. More space for magic items¸ a streamlined section for active and passive abilities¸ and of course¸ the color coding is still there.
In addition to the new changes above¸ you still have the additional drop down boxes for SRD class¸ race¸ and alignments. Encumbrance is auto-calculated as you enter numbers in the lbs. boxes. The calculation is based on the Encumbrance Variant on page 176 of the PHB. This allows you to use an oft ignored mechanic due it's immersion breaking of calculating weight. Now the calculation is done for you. Still not interested in tracking encumbrance¸ it is easy to ignore and will not impede using the sheet. Most of the character fluff is removed and is designed so you can have your skills and abilities at your fingertips.
The character sheet was created for my wife¸ so she could use her laptop quickly during play. The color coding was designed to help an eleven year old child in our group more easily recognize the skills used during our game¸ and both proved to be a big hit with the local players in my area and my play testers.
By removing character ideals and bonds from the first page¸ I was able to focus on what is really needed for quick access. to your mechanics¸ which you will be using long after your memorized your character's backstory and faults.
I believe the majority of people will be able to use the character sheet without issue¸ auto calculating and then printing are just a few clicks away¸ but those using digital devices will see an even greater case of versatility as you can auto-update on the fly.
I hope you enjoy¸ and as always¸ if there is anything I can do to improve¸ please leave constructive criticism in the comments and I will be happy to answer and help.
The file has been fully tested in Adobe DC and Pro¸ as well as Foxit Phantom and Foxit Reader.
