Dead Reign character sheet design

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Greetings! We are a small tabletop gaming community in Thailand. In order to introduce Palladium to our group, I re-designed the Dead Reign character sheet. Hope you guys like it!

- Added base of each saving throws!

Hi

For those of us not on Facebook (only me?) can you post it another way?

Without a Facebook account it's not viewable.

I think its a very nice sheet.

I'll have to pull out my DR mainbook. Magic & Psionic Saving Throws?

I thought there was neither in Dead Reign.

Those saving throws are even on the official sheet

Yes, please have a look at the official Dead Reign character sheet at the back of the book. Each saving throw bases are there :)

I realize that.

And I'm critical of Palladium as well...

Having a saving throw for something which no rules/situations will apply to said saving throw is a mistake.

Very nice looking sheet. It has been a while since I've played but this seems to be missing a spot for Weapon Proficiencies. Was you intention for the player just to list that under skills?

Yes, correct :) We found out later that the font was a bit hard to read. My next version will be easier to read :)

I printed these out for my players to make characters with, and there were more skills available to the class than slots on the sheet to fill them in. Was it just the couple of classes my players used that had this problem?

Like the Character sheet very much, Kudos.

I would really like to know if a second page could be added to include stuff like personal info, notes, character history, contacts and stuff. I was coping a current character to your design and it really works great.

I don't understand saving throw versus Magic and Psionics but none for disease? *head twitches*

Pretty nice, trying to figure out why it takes 2 pages though.
Maybe need more room for equipment?

I can at least understand why there is Magic and Psionic saves.
That is likely "legacy code" from the original draft of the game where those elements were present. Though it would be nice to have stuff like Disease and Pain and other stuff a survivor is likely to run into have been on the official sheet.

<Edit>
Oh and the sheet is amazing, I have added it to my resources file...
...and I don't even play Dead Reign myself.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

I would like to see a place for the attribute bonuses, not sure why, but that always gets left off.
