System Planning - Sheet

Sheet

What is a sheet?
The sheet is the character's interface into self introspection. They should be able to find anything about their character within moments. There will probably be several iterations of the sheet that displays various things they have. I'm thinking that EvForms may be a useful tool here to lock in a specific layout. I'd also like to build fairly quick search tools that are sensible to find things like individual stats etc. Sections of the sheet can be displayed quickly with a switch like +Sheet/attrs or +Sheet/feats. It also needs to be alterable by staff (easily) with good documentation on the process of making alterations. There should probably also be a way for players to skin their sheets if they like...perhaps picking from a set of different layouts, or maybe even subbing sheet styles to be used. Eventually if we get around to doing anything with the front end experience on the web, we might consider letting folks upload personal skins and share them among their friends....this of course could apply to the entire system, not just the Sheet code.

I am very interested in seeing some layout ideas. Right now I'm planning to roll up a Cgen for Pathfinder 2, but I'd also like to eventually look into possibly FATE rpg and maybe WOD cgens for folks of the community. That may be more than I can chew, but there's the idea.

Now open for comments and input.
