    Comments on the new sheet ...

    I really like the second page, with all the skills. Easier to fill, no chance to run out of space.
    Now the problem is that it makes the lower half of the first page somewhat redundant. Is this temporary and do you plan to change it, or was it intended that way Don? I think it'd be nice to have other infos in place of it, like Traits, Health, Psi, Advancements or Equipment. Wouldn't it?

    I forgot to mention that each skill also has to the right of the name a circle suitable to fill in to mark the skill as a professional skill. This is important when raising skills or using some professional abilities, for example. I'll be adding those little circles to the attributes and reactions in the next version as well.

    I know lots of people are eagerly awaiting the second page and completing the sheet.

    Thumbs up Another version...

    Okay, these both include the first glimpse at the elusive page two. Page two isn't form-enabled but you can see where I'm going with it.

    Comments welcome.

    Very cool. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

    Question Non-Form version?

    Hey Don,

    This is a very cool sheet, much cleaner and readable than the official one in the back of the PG.

    I just have one question. Can you/are you planning on making a non-form version? I am one of those that likes to print out blank sheets and write on them in pencel so I can make changes during a game. I can't do that with your sheet because of all the zeroes that appear in formula fields.

    Otherwise, no complaints.

    Chris, I think a first version of it is on page 4.

    Yup. Form-free and with a full page of nothing but skills.

    Doh! I feel foolish for missing that! That's what I get for skimming a thread instead of reading.

    Any chance of the sheet getting finished soon? I'm willing to help out Don; got full version of Adobe & should have too much trouble aiding, should you like.

    Bump to top ... just in case Don had forgotten about it . Really, Don, what do you need a life for anyway?

    Unhappy When The Bough Breaks... or rather, the Acrobat.

    Don,

    I know you've suggested 5, but what is it that breaks it in Acrobat 4? I have a full version of 4 and do not want to pay to upgrade to 5 just to be able to save my character sheets. Is there any chance we can get a backwards compatible version?

    Same question again... Any chance of a backwards compatible version?
