I am just starting out with DnD. Having some spare time and a little bit of design background, I decided to try and improve the character sheet,.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a decent character sheet with a different layout than literally everybody uses.I don't like the standard character sheet having so much info stuffed into the first page. I don't need to immediately look at my personality traits and other background info all the time. (Same with proficiencies and language, frankly.) I'd rather have the front page rearranged so there's more room for details on attacks (enough room to put details on an attack spell/ability, for example, without running out of space), special abilities, that sort of thing.So, long request short, can anyone link me to a character sheet that has more breathing room on it and doesn't try to pack so much into each sheet?. I don't know about 'more breathing room,' but I swear up and down by MPMB's (MorePurpleMoreBetter's) character sheet, specifically the printer friendly one. It might be a little tricky to find a download of it now, but well worth it.As far as layout goes, it is familiar enough looking to be easy to learn.
It's probably roughly as dense as the standard one, maybe even slightly more, but it has more total pages, meaning room for more sections (like your desire for expanded info on attacks, and resource counters, and special features), and also a better organization of those sections (like your desire for booting the roleplaying and personality stuff off the front page, which has been relocated and similarly expanded on another page). There are plenty of other optional pages that you can add or remove as well: spellbooks, followers and familiars, wild shapes, overflow space for inventory/magic items/feats, and so on.The biggest appeal of the sheets is the auto-fill and calculations. There's a pretty robust program under the surface, so it does have a small learning curve, and some customizibility, but once you learn how the sheet works and what order to fill it out in, it really speeds up the process. What would take me hours to create by hand now takes 20-30 minutes on the long end. Everything you choose automatically fills in all appropriate stuff: adding your class shows you your available skills and gear, adding a weapon automatically adds it to your attacks, and so on.But even if you don't want to be stuck with a screen when you play, you can still fill out everything that doesn't change, and leave stuff like current hp and resource management blank, and print it out to use at the table. Or even leave everything blank and print totally blank sheets, which I still like the layouts of better than the official ones.
Hi,pdfform.js is a fantastic utility! I got it to work satisfactorily on my project to generate a filled-out character sheet for Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition:However, I did get an error with the fillable form which I had to work around. Here's the PDF:The error was 'doc.acroForm.map.Fields.slice is not a function' on line 291 of pdfform.js, in the function 'function visitacroformfields(doc, callback)'. My solution was to make this check always false, which makes the function use the fallback logic which worked.
I just thought you might want to know.Thanks again!
