#1 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 0:05:26	Hi there i'm now ! any way what i'm trying to do is is take the Saga skills (after i figure out how to edit certain things around) and move them onto a sheet that works for Modern/future. the reason being that i plan to replace Modern/Future's skill system with Sagas - as Sagas is easier to deal with in my mind......but i'd laike to actually have them all on a character sheet rather then haveing it all be on a seperate pice of paper, is there any program i could use to make a new sheet for this includeing a Saga style skills chart/table thing?
#2 TheRealOrion Nov 30, 2009 2:38:57	Depending on how pretty you want it to be, you can easily build a sheet in a spreadsheet, like Calc or Excel. The added bonus is that you can get a spreadsheet to do most of the math for you, if you know the commands. If you're really good with those programmes, you can even make it pretty. Did you want to take an existing PDF of the official d20M character sheet and alter it to taste? If so, that's a bit more of a complex operation, but it can be done in PDF Writer, from Adobe. I don't know how, but someone created one for Phoenix, back in the day.
#3 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 2:40:49	was hopeing i could preserve the look of either the Saga sheet or the Future sheet while still haveing the skills * and more then likely now adapting defenses * honestly at this point i'm considering haveing the players of this eventual compaign just use the Saga sheets.
#4 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 13:26:17	are your players making (rolling up) their characters long hand (not using char-gen)? can you edit images?  image the Saga cs pdf ... image the d20Mod cs pdf ... cut-n-paste between images. can you use excell?  I could send you two files (saga & d20Mod) ... you then could mix-n-match. or if you like I could do the mix-n-match, then send you a pdf to print and use.
#5 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 14:54:52	heh would be nice if some one else could do it......not that i'm lazy but that i'm swamped with trying to plan out a saga campign so my friends dont stab me. but yea the Saga Skills (with use the force turned into another of those blank 'replace with your own skill' boxes) and Sag Defense boxes/rules.
#6 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 15:24:14	uh, I'm not real sure what you mean by using saga defenses also, you want is to say d20 Modern or d20 Future?
#7 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 15:42:44	Future and the Saga defenses are different from Future/moderns in that its 10+Level/armor+class bonus if any+misc
#8 TheRealOrion Nov 30, 2009 17:07:46	You have already done searches for "Star Wars Saga" and "d20 modern" + "character sheets" right? If you find a couple of spreadsheets that you like, you can more or less just cut/paste boxes from one into the another.
#9 Ragitsu Nov 30, 2009 17:31:53	I'd love to see an altar dedicated to a character sheet.
#10 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 17:32:02	okay gamers, here is a couple trial files d20 future saga sheet pdf and modern with saga skills pdf let me know how it works for you.
#11 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 18:24:19	humm any chance of altering it so that it worked like Saga skills as well _ = 1/2 leve+ abbility mod + training + skill focus + misc
#12 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 20:12:47	humm any chance of altering it so that it worked like Saga skills as well _ = 1/2 leve+ abbility mod + training + skill focus + misc okay, here is the change to ver 1. so, I take it this is what you're on about?
#13 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 20:13:43	Indeed
#14 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 20:52:08	so, on a scale 1 to 5 ... how is the kitbash character sheet meeting your needs?   1 being  "it ain't"   and   5 being "using it now"
#15 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 21:52:57	About a 3 - i'd like if you replaced saveing throws with defenses - since you just have a flat defense in saga rather then a saveing throw - which feels better to me honestly heh. and thank you !
#16 rustam1 Nov 30, 2009 23:04:45	all righty now...how about this show piece? (please grade again)
#17 blue_wolf_omega Nov 30, 2009 23:11:33	15, thats perfect ! Edit: though i hate to ask so much for some one so nice but could you make it black and white ?
#18 rustam1 Dec 01, 2009 18:24:36	15, thats perfect ! Edit: though i hate to ask so much for some one so nice but could you make it black and white ? hehehe, b&w...dude, print greyscale? oh... alright... b&w... giv'me a sec to dump it to the site
#19 rustam1 Dec 01, 2009 19:29:41	tah dah... okay, one b&w version of the char sheet pdf I'd love to hear how you're campaign works.
#20 AnimeSniper Dec 01, 2009 20:56:40	So Rustam1, any thoughts on a combination D&D/D20 sheet as I am trying to compile the differing sheets together lately...
#21 rustam1 Dec 01, 2009 21:15:24	say what?    DnD4ed Modern?     Modern 4ed?
#22 bone_naga Dec 05, 2009 13:52:13	I needed to create a new character sheet for a GSL addition to D&D (Neurospasta, it seems to be filling my need for a 4e modern and a 4e cyberpunk). I found a 4e D&D character sheet in excel format, and did some work to it to make it fit the rules. I'm pretty sure there were 3e excel character sheets available as well. If the sheet is set up right in the beginning it can be relatively easy to work with (certainly better than starting from scratch) and you can have half the stuff (like skills and ability mods) taken care of automatically with calculation cells. And while I'm not sure if this will matter to you since you seem more interested in saga than 4e, but I even used conditional formatting to easily color code powers the same way they are in the core books. EDIT: For an example of what I mean, here's the sheet www.4shared.com/file/165803522/73dc7eb5/...
#23 MechaPilot Dec 16, 2009 19:11:49	all righty now...how about this show piece? (please grade again) Great Char sheet.  I also opted for the B&W version you made, but this sheet is a wonderful piece of work.  Thanks for taking the time and effort to construct it.  Anyone who wants to run a SWSE influenced Modern campaign should definitely consider using this as the standard for character sheets.
