Nice idea on the mount customization and I really wouldnt worry overly much about attempted power gaming..... the machine has *all* the advantages and isnt afraid to flaunt them regularly. As overpowering as the biotech may seem, there's only so much available and there really isn't a practical limit to the machine forces.

As for character sheets, I feel your pain but I'm gonna let ya know now, there's no way anyone is going to make a generic character sheet for Splicers, there's just too much info you need that's too different from one OCC ot the next. My scarecrow is a 3 page sheet, archangel is 5 or 6, dreadguard I'm helping the GM with is probably going to be close to 10 before we decide it's ready. I've considered trying to write up a character sheet but every time I do it's just so much information per class to deal with I put it off till later.

I'm actually done with dreadguard and archangel stuff for a character sheet package but Im very reluctant to even attempt outrider and packmaster sheets since theres just so much diversity in whats available to either group. Saints, scarecrows and biotics could use the general info sheet Ive worked up easily enough but I want to do a specific benefits sheet for scarecrow and saints and a special bio-e page for biotics though the general one makes a good baseline, I just don't feel like it has enough capacity for a biotic.

My main problem with posting is I refuse to do such design work in ms word and Im running into issues converting from word perfect to pdf or html due to text boxes and "odd" text sizing preferences. Converting to word or open office is probably easy enough though once I find someplace to host the file (board hosting would be idea if palladium was open to such an idea)

I've had this up in the other thread addreswsing char sheets for a few days now but havent seen any hits on it so I figure a crosspost can't really hurt.

It's all the basic info, host armor sheet and an archangel sheet.

Its a Word Perfect document, I *hate* MS Word because it's so flakey for form design of any real complexity. I'm working on conversions to both Word and PDF formats though. It's just such a pain to convert anything with text boxes, its slow going but it'll get done eventually.

I'm not using a Mac, I dislike them almost as much as I do Microsoft products, though I do acknowledge their superiority in their intended field of graphic design. I can save from WP to PDF but the formatting of the text boxes goes to ****. I think Im going to create the first page by itself in adobe then import the rest from WP and see how that works.
