Nupky’s 2e Remaster Character Sheet - Pen & Paper

I noticed during pen and paper play that beginner players get lost with what is possible, and don't know where to look (or are too lazy to). That and multi-attack penalty maths slows the game down tons when done in your head.

I’ve reworked the layout to make it beginner-friendly, cutting down on unnecessary clutter while boosting clarity where it matters most. Tabs at the top make navigation a breeze, bold section titles keep everything organized, and I’ve streamlined key mechanics like Multi-Attack Penalties by having each MAP right on your sheet! Essential combat actions are now front and center, with quick-reference explanations for conditions and abilities right where you need them. Plus, I’ve expanded exploration notes, added room for action descriptions, and improved the flow of information so you can focus on the adventure, not the paperwork.

Tabs, Section Titles and Reduction

First I added tabs at the top of the page for each page to show (similar to the remaster approach to books). Then I used bold block titles to segment sections more clearly and looked for any opportunity to reduce content (e.g. the text with Hero Points) especially if it is only information you need during character creation and not during play (e.g. the Armor maths hiding Prof + Item bonus). I also tried shrinking a lot of items together on the top page to make space for something else cool below it.

Actions & Multi-Attack Penalty

Because beginner player's don't know the action's available to them (be it Common or Skill based), I include all the main actions they would need on the front page. Important actions for combat have been boldened. I also reduced the weapon area so that the maths is hidden more and we can show the Multi-Attack Penalty. This was the main reason I wanted to do this because my players had tons of difficulty with this.

Basic Actions Explained & Conditions

As a follow-up to these common actions being named on the main page, I wanted an easy way to reference the TLDR version of the action. Then below that I included a TLDR condition tracker with circles for active and a large square to state the X value.

Abilities and Inventory

Except for some design things (like consistent font sizes throughout the document), I didn't change much here. Added some writing lines.

Exploration notes & actions

On the exploration page I included the common exploration actions and enlarged the note taking field and added writing lines.

Action Descriptions and Tags

I also noticed that players wanted to know what actions did and that some simply did not have enough boxes so I added some more. Below that I included the TLDR tags used on weapons e.g. traits and critical specializations. Added some writing lines

Spells page remained unchanged

Companion Page added

I have included a companion page as well with enough space to draw your little trouble maker. This great request was by ElBrotherman on Reddit.
