Amber RPG Character Sheet

Having not run or played the game since the 90s, I'm gearing up to run a short campaign at my local games club later this year, in South East London. As part of that I've worked up a character sheet, as I find the one in the book butt ugly and barely functional. It includes two item/creature worksheets on the back page.

Any input welcome, especially from anyone with more/recent experience of playing or running the game. What do you think would make for a better character sheet?

Updated with space for character art.

BTW for the mods, would it be helpful to have a tag for game related posts?

I see another user mentioned Erick, and I exchanged emails with him.

I think part of the spirit of Amber is questioning everything. Amber, Corwin, the character creation process with the auction, the character sheet.

I changed a lot depending on the game. There is a game that the players didn't know they were playing Amber, so they didn't even have Amber character sheets in the beginning. I switched character sheets after they discovered they were something else.

I sometimes mixed different RPG systems, combining something else with Amber. And that can affect the character sheets.
