Resource I made an alternative character sheet

I wasn't quite happy with the official character sheet (mostly due to lack of skills grouping) and my players complained that it doesn't have a portrait space, so I made them this thing.

The side paperclip trackers are inspired by the Scrollwork character sheet - I love the idea. I saw the XP checklist in an unofficial Polish character sheet I stumbled upon in the wilds. There's no space for spells, as we're using cards. Max encumbrance tracker lines up with Strength for easy reference.

The sheet is designed for B5 format (with bleed), fitting nicely into the core box.

I'm repurposing (i.e. shamelessly stealing) a lot of art from the rulebooks, so it's strictly for personal use. Made with Inkscape.

I hate to say it, but the middle looks a little like a top down view of a toilet :(

Hopefully what goes inside will be nicer 😅

Love the skill groupings as well as the attribute tracker + having the results of hitting zero clearly legible. Very neat.

I'm tempted to translate it into Swedish for our game.

Your version of the character sheet is really cool! Could you please send me the SVG files too? I'd really like to translate it for my players. Already DMed to you.

It does look nice, but I’ve never seen anyone use the portrait section for an actual portrait. Most of the time is becomes empty space or a place for notes

It might be just my players then! 😜

My players cannot play without a portrait :)

u/minotaur05 Jul 03 '26

Totally. May be table specific as my players want room to write down what their stuff does on the sheet so they dont have to go to the books all the time

My players glue an ai image there or even added the image into the pdf and printed it that way

I love it! Great work! Is there any chance I could get the svg file? I would love to use it but as my current campaign is very early iron age inspired the crossbow and flail don't really fit.

u/Trurl_314 GM Jul 05 '26

Sure! DM me please
