So, I took some suggestions, and finally get to present my progress

By the way, this is my first time using Photoshop. I honestly kinda hate this program for Text-based projects.

It looks like every other D&D character sheet.

Yeah that was a dumb idea. Illustrator or InDesign are much better options.

That's nice, dear. Now make it in LaTeX like a real man.

Well, Photoshop was some other Anon's idea.

I started out with OpenOffice. This is how that turned out.

I was planning on using Inkscape for a character sheet I wanted to make. How much better is latex?

Also, character sheet design thread?

What system is this for? I like the idea of skill synergies.

It's for D&D. I'm trying to modify 5th edition for better use.

Someone should post some cool Character sheets for D&D. I could always use some...

Inspiration.

Character sheet thread?

Here's one I'm working on in Google Sheets for Stars Without Number. For the record, Google Sheets fucking rocks for character sheets if you're playing online or (if you're like my group) with a bunch of laptops.

I'm also working on a "Master Sheet" that gives me a quick run-down of all the essential information for the PCs (AC, HP, etc), along with a bunch of drop-down fillable NPCs for encounter building.

I love LaTeX for academic papers and shit, but how the fuck would you go about making a character sheet? Are is there a document class that makes that easy or something?

It's a nice sheet, I dunno the game, but I feel like the skills should be simplified. Way too many different aspects. It's the only reason I didn't like 3.5E D&D.

> like seriously, what do you have against boxes?
> Max HP doesn't even get a line? Come on.
> If you're going to have ranks for skills you need a separate place to track them.
> Anything that can be expended (i.e. spell slots, Max HP vs. Current HP, Hit Dice, etc) needs a place to to track your max and how much you've expended.
> With that much empty space you could to proper Head/Body/R.Arm/etc gear tracking, but didn't.
> I hope that huge empty void is actually where the weapons an shit are supposed to go because WHOLLY FUCK is this a useless character sheet.
> Why the fuck is everything pressed up against the sides and corners? Put a fucking 0.25 border on that shit.
You took one great big step to the side without really moving forwards or backwards.

I am trying my best, okay? I just want to make it look aesthetically pleasing, but Photoshop was really hard to work with.

I have an idea of how I'm going to do my character sheet now. I'll do equipment, items, personality, character image, and backstory on one page, and then Abilities, Stats, modifier totals, and magic on the second page. To keep appearances separate from combat.

>>48372468
I use I for these things. Photoshop is not ideal for such projects.

>>48372732
I make all of mine in Google docs.

Because then the sheets are on Google docs for me to see.
