Character Sheet

Character Sheet Overview

The character sheet for the 4E ruleset is comprised of several individual sheets organized by tabs along the right side. These tabs comprise all of a PC's details. Just click the tab you want to view.

  • Main: Classes, abilities, hit points, senses, and overview of common combat totals.

  • Combat: Details of initiative, defenses, saves, speed, and basic attacks; weapon/implement list.

  • Skills: Skill details.

  • Abilities: Feats, special abilities (class features/rituals), proficiencies.

  • Inventory: Items, coins, armor effects, encumbrance.

  • Powers: Power details.

  • Notes: Character appearance, languages, notes.

If you have data set up in modules for the various character options (feats, features, powers, weapons, ...), you can drag and drop the window links for these sheets onto the appropriate locations on the character sheet to automatically create a new item and pre-fill with the data from the module. (i.e. Drop a power from a module onto the powers list on the Powers tab.) Please search the Forums for more information on community-built 4E parsers.
