Here are a few different versions of the Epic Path character sheet: | |||
* [[:File:EP_Character_Sheet_Print_Only_v1.pdf|Print and Play]] {{Smaller|(PDF)}} — Use this one if you want to play at the table without having to stare at a computer the whole time. | |||
* [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FYBSSJZIVVYFumTmVFFEXYeZWjk9dtVrYK_XdJkgjRI Sharable Spreadsheet] {{Smaller|(Google)}} — Make a copy of this one for yourself (so you can edit; it's read-only), and share it with your GM and friends. Access it from any computer. | |||
:* If you intend to play a spellcaster, you will want to make multiple copies of the "Spellbook" page (or tab, if a spreadsheet) before you start. Epic Path spells go to 17th level, potentially, so make up to 5 copies of the page, if you think your campaign might go on that long. | |||
:* If you intend to play a character who carries more than two weapons, you will want to make additional copies of the "Weapons & To-Hit" page (or tab, if a spreadsheet). | |||
: Making copies of these pages before you start filling in data can save you a lot of pain in the future. Do it now! | |||
Don't be intimidated by how many pages the character sheet has. You'll mostly be using the first two pages during the game. The remaining pages are worksheets you can use to ensure you are calculating everything correctly, to track your progress after each game session, help you level up, or to just generally flesh out your character's details. | |||
= Making a New Character = | |||
Now that you have a character sheet, it's time to create a character. The goal here isn't just to get all those boxes filled in, but to try to make someone memorable and fun to play. Even if your game is nothing but hack and slash, having a character who is known for snappy comebacks, or who is always drunk at the worst possible times (where does he even get booze in a dungeon?), you and your friends will enjoy yourselves all the more for it. | |||
Try new things. Take risks. Have fun. | |||
