Yes, Britt said something to the effect of 'as long as the DM can figure it out quickly, that's fine - the rule is there to prevent people from bringing characters on a napkin.'

But anything where the DM can easily see what your spot check modifier is when curious or look over your character without a ten minute lull in the game should be fine.

I type everything directly on there in photoshop, so it looks like a form-fill pdf, all nice and typed (plus you can use different fonts depending on style, etc.)

I've also got two modified ones with more melee weapon fields (for the "DR golf-bag" type fighter :D)

Which I've done all too often. Good thing people don't call me on that!

Happens sometimes.
I've lost track of the number of times I've forgotten a character and the nearest source of paper was a bar with a ready supply of cocktail napkins and paper towels in the john.

Oh wait, actually that's never happened to me...
