With my DCC RPG warrior “Big” Helmut finally reaching level 4, I figured it was time to move him off the level 0 character sheet he’s been using since he survived whatever hellhole funnel he came from (I think he showed up as a backup character during the Emerald Enchanter… we severely depopulated the town during that adventure – went in with 3 level 1 and 6 level 0 characters, and kept coming back to town to drag a bunch more level 0s in with us… I think we were responsible for the deaths of a good 18 or so townfolk).
So I finally scanned the rough idea I had for a character sheet that I had scrawled onto a pad during a DCC game a few months ago, did some tidying, and copied old Helmut over.
And immediately noticed some things I didn’t like about the sheet. So after another round of edits I put together a new version and used it to copy over Sir Alexander Eustace Pennyweather, esquire.
Yeah, yeah, Pennyweather needs to have his eyes adjusted in the sketch, but this sheet has just about everything I want. And more to the point, I’m no longer willing to keep messing with it. So here it is.
Click on the graphic to download the PDF version.
It prints off on US legal sized paper – 8.5 x 14 inches. Don’t select “shrink to fit”, it purposefully has enough extra border to be trimmed off by whatever your printer can’t handle.
Most of the boxes are purposefully left unlabeled so you can make them whatever you like. You can see some examples in my two sheets above.
Regarding the font used (I’ve had a few comments that I could have chosen a more legible font)… I didn’t use a font. This sheet was hand-drawn and hand-lettered during a game of DCC, with a bit of fiddling in Photoshop afterwards. If I had more time and inclination I might replace all the text with a nice font, but not today.
Thats bad luck. You will die next game. Ride the boat that got you to 4th dont move to a fancy new sheet. Pride comes before the fall.
I’ve never had that happen to me yet. I make new character sheets whenever I need to change something major on my old ones (run out of room in a box, rub through the hit points box with the eraser, etc).
Any chance for a Basic Fantasy RPG version?
Since the original is hand-drawn, I took some whiteout and wrote in the changes.
Yeah… 🙂 I guess I could have done that. Thanks. Here’s a little cleaner one.
Much nicer!
Oh yeah… Here’s the blank one if anyone wants it:
Very nice! Ok for me to post on the BFRPG forums?
Do you mind doing one in a 5E D&D format?
I’ve tried five times now at a decent hand-drawn 5e sheet. When I’m happy with one I’ll post it.
Thanks man! Appreciate you and what you do!

Cool. Thanks!
do you have a print friendly version – without the back ground?
