Wow! Cool. It is a lot of pages, but I like how the Tests Required and Level of Difficulty tables are right at your fingertips.

I think you forgot the open-ended "reroll 6s" icon for Faith. Although maybe you should leave a blank where you have the word Faith, allowing other races' attributes (such as Greed) to be placed there instead.

Bugger! Cheers Mike, I'll add the D6 icon. I had been considering doing a separate sheet per race, but for now I'll simply leave the Emotional Attribute blank as you suggest. As I'm heading off to NZ/Oz for two months, I'll fix the current version and put it out as v2.41. It can be found here. (http://www.mediafire.com/?44qilwzbxjg)

Minor delays getting v2.41 uploaded due to 'technical issues' at my end. Talk quietly amongst yourselves while this is resolved...apologies for the inconvenience caused ;)
John

All resolved and uploaded. See the link in the previous post.
Changes made were...
pp1: Character Sheet
Beliefs:Tidied up the Beliefs lines
Forte: Put in a Tax Circle to indicate how much Forte is taxed
Artha: Removed the pale F/D/P in the current Artha box to make it a bit clearer to see how many points you have
pp2: Character sheet
Attributes: Added the D6 icon to show Emotional Attributes are open-ended & replaced Faith with a blank line to write in the appropriate Emotional Attribute. The large space underneath can be used to write in notes about the deity/affects etc of your PCs Emotional Attribute

What are you doing in NZ/OZ? Work sent me to NZ for six weeks a few years ago, what a beautiful country.

One other very minor suggestion, you might want to switch the order of the Trait sheet and Spell sheet. Since not everyone has spells that would make it easier to print without printing Spell sheet. But this is very minor and can wait until you have time!

Back to NZ where I grew up and still have family (they're now handily spread between Auckland, Sydney & Melbourne) after a 15-year absence. I have a funny feeling things may have changed slightly in that time. It is a stunningly beautiful country, but at the time I left, there was simply no jobs, so of to the gold-paved streets of London. I'm still looking for that gold.

Easily done, but I'll wait for people's printers to cool off. Thanks for the input by the way, as I feel like I can't see the woods for the trees sometimes when it comes to spotting errors.

Is the link Broken, or was the document removed?

Any chance of it coming back ever?

Looks like John just had a mouse slip when linking the page. You can just dissect out the proper link, www.mediafire.com/?44qilwzbxjg .

Its a lot of pages John but I like it. Its almost a player reference aid as much as a character sheet. Good stuff.

Nice work. It's crazy how much info a BW character sheet needs, but well done!

I like it. It really fits in with my current game - where we're expecting a lot of long term growth.

I'm running Acrobat 8.1 on Vista, and when opening version 2.41 I'm getting a warning that I don't have the Balthezar font.

But it looks pretty good!

This character sheet is fantastic, and I will be instituting its use at once in my weekly BW game (and probably in the new Blossoms setting we burned up last night...)

But I do have one small suggestion: everyone has traits, but not everyone has spells. If you were to swap the last two pages, printing the sheet out double-sided means that Sorcery-less characters could skip the last sheet and save a page.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay in responding to the thread and thanks for the feedback, but I'm in sunny Australia and won't be back home for another fortnight. I've tried downloading both the 4 and 7 page character sheets and am having the same problem with the Balthazar font. Sorry for that, I thought I'd managed to embed the font within the document. Obviously I need to go back and have another look, it won't be until my return home however. I also agree with the comment about switching pages 5 and 6 so that the sorcery page can be omitted or not as needs dictate.
