Dungeons & Dragons D&D Character Sheets

I really do love these sheets. The nice heavy weight paper they're printed on is excellent, gives them a real substantial feel, and the size of them is great, maybe half an inch shorter than standard letter-size printer paper makes them stand out. The different varieties in the set is a great touch; some just have cosmetic styling differences like different borders around the information boxes, some have different layouts, and some are simplified for just basic character information. The folder the sheets come packaged with is truly beautiful, with the stylized Dragons Ampersand on the front (a slightly updated version of the classic Dragon Ampersand from 1st Edition AD&D which I am SO GLAD they brought back for 5th Edition) is sturdy and excellent and can serve as a character folder to store your character sheet and other papers. I bought two sets and am going to be buying several more for both the character sheets themselves and for more of these folders.I've been playing D&D for decades, since the 1st Edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (*remember, it's always spelled with an ampersand, never the word "and!") but I never bothered buying the official character sheets for previous editions of D&D aside from perhaps a single set out of curiosity just to have (except for the Permanent Character Record folder for 1st Edition, those were amazing.) But WotC has done an overall incredible job with the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, taking the best elements of all the previous Editions; from Original D&D, Basic D&D, 1E AD&D, 2E AD&D, 3rd Edition, and even the very few good elements of the otherwise abominable 4th Edition, and combined them all into a truly RAD Edition that exemplifies the spirit of D&D merged with a straightforward, streamlined ruleset that makes play both simple and incredibly fun, and these character sheets continue the amazing job they've been doing and I highly recommend them for any D&D player. If WotC ever made an expanded set of sheets for 5th Edition like the aforementioned 1st Edition AD&D Permanent Character Record, with something like 6 pages for expanded character and background information, I would buy several sets in a heartbeat. But as it is, I am extremely happy with these official character sheets, which actually kind of surprised me, as I previously usually just designed and printed out my own.

Great quality...everything needed is on there...great spacing and areas to add to ...

The sheets are just as described. Easy to fill in and keep track of your character on the go. There are 3 styles to pick form. The pack could use a few more spell pages, but it is a great pack to have.

I was quite excited when I opened my package today to be greeted by beautiful art. My only complaint by then was that the folder isn’t as sturdy as it could have been. But I have a good habit of keeping things well and neat, so it’d shouldn’t be a big problem. Something anyone should know before reading further in the review is that the “New Player” friendly sheets ARE NOT filled out character sheets. They’re simplified sheets with quite a lot of function.On the inside of the folder, one will immediately notice a list of possible actions you can take, along with detail of what they truly mean for your character. This was actually helpful to me as a DM immediately, because I learned that the way my group has been rolling with the Ready Action has been entirely wrong. You must decide what Action you’re taking on top of when. On the opposite side is a list of things you can do on your turn. This has been a point of contention in my games sometimes, even games I’ve played in. Well, can I open the door and make an attack? I’ve been told no to that. But reading this section it seems I would have been in my right. It gives plenty of examples that you can use as a sort of guidelines for what can be done while you’re moving or taking an action.Moving into the character sheets, there’s three different varieties, technically four. There’s the classic 5e Alphabetical Skills sheet, the Skills by Ability Score sheet, the New Player sheet, and even some Spell sheets. Personally I’ve always preferred the Skills by Ability score, but I know my roommates find the Alphabetized list easier to reference. Here in the Skills is where the New Player sheet differs most, it gives you six slots to fill in with skills that you’re proficient in. Some might think this is just omitting information. But for a new player it’s simply easier for them to look down and be like, “Oh I’m good at that, can I try investigating?” Then leave the rest of skills to their DM. For instance, “Make an Acrobatics Check, if you’re not good at it, just add your Dexterity.”Lastly I’m going to talk about the greatest additions to this sheet. The removal of the Proficiency Bonus, and the Should and Shouldn’t sections. The removal of the proficiency bonus is SO nice. Players at my table, after near a year STILL don’t understand what it means half the time. Removing it and instead just including that number in their Attack, Proficiencies and etc. is so much simpler for a new player. As for the should and shouldn’ts there is SO much I would put in here, but I’m only going to list a few examples. You Should ask the DM questions if you have any. You Should ask the DM if you can make a check. You Should talk things out with your party. You Shouldn’t use anything but a d20 when your DM asks you to make a Check, Saving Throw, or Attack. You Shouldn’t let anyone tell you what is the best thing to do. Be your character.There’s plenty more you could add to this list, and I’m sure a new player would love to add things themselves. “You should make an investigation check when you enter a new room” or if they so something particularly dumb, “You shouldn’t attack the Archduke of Lain as a Level 1 Wizard.”All in all I think this folder and batch of character sheets is perfect for anyone who likes D&D, and especially to anyone who has friends who wish to start playing D&D. It’s a good, pretty resource for bringing people to the table.

A Nice Supplement but Somewhat limited. Caverns or Temples (?) only -- no towns; villages; other buildings; no terrain features or points of reference upon which to key any kind of adventure. Overall, useful, but a very large disappointment.

Great quality. The folder is thick and sturdy. The papers are nice as well

I bought these for my son and he feels loves them. Not only are they useful but they make you look like a pro when you pull them out.

Seriously, I’ve been writing this stuff down on plain loose-leaf until now. Super helpful and it even comes with TWO different formats, which I really like

Sim!Num mundo cada vez mais digial, o papel, o impresso vem perdendo cada vez mais relevância.. Se queres uma produto matriz para você tirar cópias depois esse é o caminho. recomendo

Quality paper and print.

Estan geniales deberian hacerlos en español tambien y los compraria

Normalerweise kann man diese Charakterbögen auch einfach im Internet finden und ausdrucken. Hier bekommt man aber auch eine schöne Schutzhülle dazu und kann die Blätter auch nachträglich immer kopieren.

This was a gift for the teenage dungeon master in my life. He was really chuffed with the amount of info on the sheets. They are nice print quality too.
