Character Sheet Overview

The character sheet for the 3.5E 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, defenses, speed, senses, and overview of common combat totals.

  • Combat: Details of initiative, defenses, saves, speed, and basic attacks.

  • Skills: Skill details.

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

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

  • Notes: Character appearance, languages, notes.

  • Actions: Weapon and spell details

If you open up the modules for the various character options (spells, equipment, feats, ...), 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 spell from the Spells module onto the Actions tab.)
