Rating: Summary: Very inclusive Review: These player character sheets have a lot of information on them that we used to normally handwrite in somewhere. The idea of cross-classes is excellent as you know right away if it's something you think you want to spend more than one point on to have. The spell sheets are pretty good, however, a member of our dungeon created a spell book so the DM need only see the spell to know what it does, the time period it takes to do it in and how long the spell lasts, instead of hunting frantically through the players manual all the time. At the time the spell is used, a card with the spells name on it is handed to the DM. Realizing that spells don't work the same for each class, it is still something you might consider if you have a lot of magic users that need to study to regain their spells. As with all new things, some of the areas on these sheets will take getting used to, and in the end, we, as the players, will adapt these sheets to our own dungeons needs. Overall, they are very helpful for each class in the 3rd edition.
Rating: Summary: Very well done. Review: These sheets are done very well. They have an individual sheet for every class in the Players Handbook with the list of skills that match the class. All the other information is also already there on the sheet making it easy to fill in. No longer will you have to look through the PH to figure out what Hit Die to use. There are also blank sheets for use with custom classes and even a sheet for pets. If you want a good, organized sheet choose these.
Rating: Summary: Extras and that's it Review: These sheets are very helpful for a first time player maybe but after playing in a few games and being ushered into house rules central every player I know has a favorite sheet online that is just better. The sheets here are good only because of the spell lists, the companion creature sheet, and the ease of use. Judge what is most important before buying.
Rating: Summary: Worthless Review: These sheets are worthless to the true gamer. I got these, and immediately tossed them. Personally, I prefer to make my own sheets on paper, but the program on the CD-Rom that comes with the PH is fine too. The character sheets were only unnecessary examples on how to make a character. You could always use the example in the handbook. Don't buy this. It [blows].

Rating: Summary: Extrememely useful Review: This book has it all. Whether you are new to D&D, or are a veteran player, this book fills all your needs. Simple charts for recording, and the ease of use is unparralled. This was extremely useful in many of my campaigns, and they are a great replacement for paper and pencil record sheets.
Rating: Summary: Nearly Worthless Review: This is a great tool, and character sheets are a must for RP gamers, but the problem is that there is almost nothing here that isn't in the Player's Handbook. In the Player's Handbook there is one (1) blank character sheet that can be used for ANY character. (Much emphasis on any) In this convenient little package, there is one sheet that can ONLY be used for Barbarian, one for Bard, etc etc. On the other hand, (this is a much smaller hand) this does have a handy spell list, making it marginally easier to check spells than just looking them up in the book. It also has a nice little character sheet for your average companion creature, which must be useful to some people, though I must admit I've never used it and doubt I ever will. Also, the sheet layouts are built especially for that specific class, which is great, but if you decide to add a different class, you have to completely copy the character over to the special multiclass sheet, which is almost as good as the blank one in the book. And you can forget prestige classes. All in all, with the good stuff and the bad stuff, the bad stuff wins, and the good stuff is pretty weak to start with.
Rating: Summary: This is great! Review: This is an excellent addition to any AD&D player's collection! You'll never have to spend time drawing up your own character sheet again! Character sheets for every class make it easy to get the information you need, rather than having tons of blank space or too little space. I recommend it!
Rating: Summary: Pretty neat Review: This Is like a graph thing i am told, like graphed paper or something close to it i figure, i haven't received it yet, though i am about to order it, because D&D is such a kewl game.
Rating: Summary: Another way for Wizards to make money Review: This is the most useless product Wizards of the COast have ever released. Don't people realise that you can actually download excellent character sheets *free*, yes, free off the internet. That's a lot cheaper and easier than paying "money" for these character sheets. Okay, they look nice. Yay! But I don't ever plan to buy these. Save your money and buy something good for your campaign, like the Greyhawk Gazetteer.
