I love the design of the new character sheets released for 5th but there is one thing our group would like to see improved.  The optional spellcasting sheet does not have enough rows in the level 1-5 to accomodate the cleric and druid spell lists.  If my count is right the rows should have at least:

 

1st- 16 rows

2nd- 18 rows

3rd- 20 rows

4th- 16 rows

5th-14 rows

 

This wouldn't even accomodate any additional spells added from multiclassing or class feature spells from cleric domains not normally on the spell list.  Does anyone know how to modify the pdf to add rows and maybe make the spell list spill onto the backside of the page?  Perhaps the 1st through 5th level sections can have 20 lines each and 6th through 9th can have 10 lines each.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a PDF editor and it will not edit the preconfigured lines on the Character sheet or move them around.  Two ideas: Make a new spell casters sheet using Excel (This is what I'm going to do when I get the chance).   Second, split your spells into commonly used and uncommonly used and write in the uncommonly used on the back side of the sheet. (This is what I'm doing until I make the Excel Sheet.

Cheers,

If a PDF editor won't do it, try using photoshop.  I've done that in the past to edit various character sheets that I thought needed more tweaking.

Also, please add in a section for Warlock Invocations.  On my Warlock's spell sheet, I repurposed the Level 9 Spell list section as "Invocations", but having a section for it specifically would be nice.  The most Invocations a Warlock can know is 8, so it would only need 8 slots.  Can those be stolen from somewhere else?

Good catch, very inspiring.


IMHO it should better fit doing them all like 20 rows instead of diferent numbers. Perhaps 15 rows for spells 6-9th, ideally, to left room for multiclassing, or alternate options (such as hexes or smites, or to some extend, feat that let you r character expand that list) at the bottom. I've also thoug about adding a couple more lines to the Cantrip group... according to your scope, there should maybe be 9 of them

I'll try to acoomadate your guidelines as soon as posible this week, and developt my idea to playtes them apropiatedly.

I moded the sheet and replaced the lines with an auto adjusting box, the more you type the smaller the font gets to accomidate the amount of input you add. It works pretty good.

the file is 5E D&D Basic - Character Sheet (Form).pdf its a three pager.
