Happy\u00a0GURPSDay<\/a>, folks — hard to believe we’re already in March.<\/p>\n

Before I hunker down in a comfy chair with a tablet and a drink to catch up on today’s bumper crop of GURPS blog posts, I wanted to make sure you all know about the truly wonderful and endlessly customizable Phoenix character sheet<\/a> for the official\u00a0GURPS Character Assistant<\/a> (sadly, it will do you no good if you make characters by hand or with GCS<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Phoenix sheet is super-duper tweakable, and you can show, hide, or move around almost everything. Want Skills on page 1? Equipment on the last page? Portrait at the top right of page two? Start tweaking! And when you’re done, when you have the sheet set up just the way you want it, you can save a separate profile for each and every character so you don’t have to fiddle with the settings every single time (i.e., Phoenix: Lord Varsoo, Phoenix: Bubba Jones, Phoenix: Wizards, whatever — just click the ‘Save Profile As’ button on the Character Sheet Options page and you can reuse those settings for any other characters).<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick look at just a few of the ways I’ve used Phoenix for some past pre-gen PCs. There are also examples of sheet configurations on the Phoenix download page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a single document to individual images, you can download a PDF<\/a> of all the characters. You can also download the Phoenix profiles<\/a> for the sheets below (unzip the .ini files to your hard drive, open GCA, go to “Character Sheet Options,” and choose the “Import from file” icon from the far right).<\/p>\n

The first is Elriss<\/strong>, a very basic (alien) character from a streamlined game<\/a> set in the multi-dimensional city of Cynosure:<\/p>\n

Page One has Attributes, Defenses, Advantages\/Disadvantages, Skills, Melee and Ranged Attacks. Page Two has Equipment and numerous useful Tables (Encumbrance, Lifting Limits, Hit Location penalties, things like that). Simple enough, and easy to find what you need.<\/p>\n

Notice some of the useful info enabled on even a basic Phoenix sheet:<\/p>\n
