Bottom tier are core books necessary to play, moving up to least necessary. It only contains the most basic of calculations, where the formulas were simple enough to work out for convenience.įeedback and suggestions for improvement welcome.A rough breakdown of GURPS books. No big deal since most people would be doing that anyway, but I thought I'd mention).Īs long as you keep in mind that this is not in any way a character generator, just a convenient way to create legible sheets of characters that are already created, you won't be disappointed.

They can get a little wonky if lowering traits to get points back and not using full multiples - when lowering traits, try not to use 'in-between' numbers (so if lowering HP, use -2, -4, -6 if lowering FP, use -3, -6, -9 etc.

As far as I can tell, the trait calculations are all working fine with positive points (that is, spending points to improve).

I think the tab order should be consistent and logical throughout, so in theory you could work through the entire sheet by hitting Tab and entering info.

Completed sheets will look identical to the standard non-interactive sheet, with the sole exception of individual DR locations in the DR box.

The values for ST, DX, IQ, and HT are entered directly into their boxes the values for HP, Will, Per, and FP are then set by entering their point totals.

Instead they are single line text fields.

The 'Reputation' (Reaction Modifiers) and 'Character Notes' sections are multi-line on the original sheet, but I wasn't able to create a text box that matched the existing lines closely enough.

In addition to the blank one, there is also a filled-in sheet as an example of what it looks like with some info on it ( screenshot). I recently decided to feed my obsessive nature by creating an interactive/fillable version of the GURPS 4e character sheet.
