Hello fellow FC players/gms,

I have a simple question, I just downloaded the fillable character sheet from the website so I could create characters for my players, the problem is that there is not enough room offered by the docume to write a decent description of the ability/feat so they wont need to use the rulebook so often, my solution was just to reduce the font size si it would be more room for ability descriptions, the problem is I cant change the font size, would anyone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance =)

I would attach a sheet at the end that had the full description of the ability/feat and just have the character sheet reference it.

There is just a lot of info that needs to be relayed with PC abilities and feats.

Sorry it doesn't answer your question directly : (

You may also find these handy, especially for such abilities as a character may share with others (e.g. basic combat feats for a Captain, or terrain feats for a Scout).

So basically the space offered in the character sheet is not enought, right? So I'll need to attach this extra reference sheet/cards ala iconics sheets.

No problem, our group can live with that =)

Thank you for your answers guys

Yeah, those fields are a nice idea, but completely fails in practice. Even if you somehow are able to shorthand every ability and feat into one line, you'll still run out of room in a couple of levels. Hell, if you build a character that's focused on a single area (say, a Soldier with only combat options) you can even run out of space at level one. So skip them/only write the really necessary things there, and write down abilities/feats in full either on a separate piece of paper, or use the ability cards above.

 Anyone know of any other sheets? I made a sheet extra one for Michel cross B&W sheet layout. This one is not form fillable but might be useful anyhow. I do not own the Images. I just made it longer.

Ah, if only I had gotten here sooner. I think I'll make an abilities sheet for the colour and printer-friendly versions of the sheet! Smiley

I noticed an error on the Variant sheets, the abilitiy scores listed for Ride and Search are incorrect. Not sure if there is any way this could be fixed.

Thanks ComicJam!

We're uploaded all the latest sheets in this series to our Downloads page (we regularly work with CJ, and have standing permission to host his stuff).

Please let me know if anything's missing or wrong, and once he has the form-fillables of the new ability sheets ready we'll upload those as well.

Thanks again!
