Character Sheet Template
This is the guide we'd like you to use when submitting a character for approval.
First: Create a new topic in the Character Bank forum with the subject line:
- Character (PL) - Player
Example: Batman (PL10) - KevinConroy
Second: In the post itself, provide your character sheet, using the format detailed below! Please list everything (Skills, Feats, Powers, etc.) in alphabetical order, and provide the power point costs for every category. It makes the Moderators' job much easier. Remember to remove the placeholder text and examples from the template before submitting the finished product; these have been marked in blue.
