Here's just the sheet for those that don't like forms...

Here's the Form version.

Updated: August 2nd, v3.15

At last! Looks fantastic, Don.

It's a tough choice between this & the Zoink's sheet: both have the self-calculating feature I like. This one's prettier.

And what is it with ICON????
Do you think about doing the same for the Icon Rules???


Illegal Notice: If this has been done in an another Thread, please Forgive me!!!!!

It's fab, Don... great work. Wish you would forms-enable the Skills sheet, even if you can't design it to auto-fill. Those of us playing Enterprise era games need much more space for languages.

A few quick nitpicks:

1) The Vitality Modifier field does not retain plus or minus signs; the other attribute modifier fields do.

2) The font size for the six blank skill fields at the bottom of page one is larger than that for the pre-printed skills.

3) There is way too much space for Flaws compared to Edges (characters are more apt to have many of the latter and few of the former).

4) There is no specific field for noting Species Abilities.

WOOHOO! It's done! :D

Seriously, Don, looks great.

I'll look into that.

Really? I copied the same fields over. Strange...

Put in the ample space set aside for professional abilities, rather than giving its own section and wasting space.

Nope. I don't use/play them anymore.

I've had specific requests not to do this, as making them auto-calculate puts in the zeros. Plus, the optional skill-only sheet was done out of the generosity of my heart, not because I wanted it. :) In short, making that sheet form-capable would take 4+ hours and over 500+ fields setup for a page I don't even use.

In other words, it ain't gonna happen. :)

The good news is that I was able to add 4 more blank spots on the front page by tightening up the layout and ruthlessly killing whitespace. :D

Thats not fair!!!!!!!!!!!
There are many player playing Icon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pfui!!!!!!

It's perfectly fair. Don didn't do this for money, you know. The product serves him for his own use, and he made it available for others. If you want him to do an Icon character form, my advice is to send him an email and start typing zeroes.

...or maybe get the ones already available at Trek-RPG.net's download section? Pfui! :p

No disrespect meant there, just being funny, but take my advice and look at the variety of forms available. ;)

**sigh**

When I go to download "the whole enchilada", I get a file with the suffix .php, rather than .zip or .war.

Any clues that you could give me as to this type of file would be a help...

(so sez Ramage, slowly bucking to get out of "Cadet" status...)
