Big bag full of caveats

This is an early prototype of the first stage of the process. If you refer to my post on The Plan, you'll see that stage 1 is just a static prototype, lacking much of the polish and many of the options you'll expect to see.

There are things wrong with this prototype. There are things obviously broken. There are things missing. There are quirks, kinks, mistakes and things that I'm already planning to change.

With all that in mind, you can get the prototype here.

the step-by-step class builder is a godsend. thank you so much. the rest of it is also amazing <3 I will be using this sheet instead of the official one. Do you want feedback on things that are good and bad that i find while using the sheet? Or just leave it until you get to further stages.

Discussion of what bits of it work and what don't is useful. Don't get overly bogged down in the details, as they will certainly change.

This prototype is basically the same shape as my PF1e character sheets, with pages for character info, combat, inventory and a class-specific page. That will change; as the sheets gradually become more PF2e-ish, things will move around. For example, I'm already considering that Skills need to be on the same page as Skill Feats, while Ancestry Feats need to be on the same page as Ancestry. I'd also like to incorporate more of the idea that the first page is one that's all about your character and how you roleplay it. So I'm considering a front page that's a hybrid of the current one with the "social background" page from PF1, consisting of a bigger portrait with character details under it, a description of your character and class, and then details of the ancestry, background and class. Then a page with Skills and Skill Feats.

The character picture I think should be on a different page to the skills. Everything else on that page is good. I like the proficiencies numbers being on that page. Having more space to write the attack bonus with the first/second/third strike of the round would be good. More space to write the critical effect would be good. More space to write actions would be good. A few of the actions not having any coloured in would be good (I have a few characters with free combat actions). Hit point layout is good. I agree that having the skill feats and skills on the same page would be awesome. Also, having a bit more space to write feat details would be great (although that might just be because I have big writing). The sorcerer class sheet is well laid out, interested to see the other class sheets when they happen :) Keep up the awesome work! Excited to see how this sheet develops!

Having seen some of the work people did with folio printing, and some pages I did a while back for beginners, I think I'd like to move the picture to a character cover page of some sort where it can be given more prominence. This would list your ancestry, background and class, along with details of you character like your name and alignment, but very little else. It wouldn't have any stats or calculations on it, but it might have a one-paragraph introduction to your class and its party role. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiccharactersheets/permalink/1824800894477563/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiccharactersheets/permalink/1824800894477563/</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiccharactersheets/permalink/1853502784940707/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiccharactersheets/permalink/1853502784940707/</a> The layout of actions/reactions gets a bit janky, so I think I'm going to merge them and have a single Actions/Reactions section. The action icon template would then be blanked out like you suggest, so it can show 1-3 actions, free actions and reactions equally.
