A while back I created some character sheets specific to one of my settings. I recently altered the design to be more generic, using imagery yoinked with no permission whatsoever from the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Book and title from the Outdoor Geomorphs set. I like digest-sized character sheets, so this is meant to be printed on letter-sized paper and folded in half. You may need to fiddle with your printer's scaling settings to get it to print at maximum bleed. Download here: drive.google.com/file/d/1d-ofR7VroFkcd18kqSsffGm6-vxkOLxl/view?usp=sharingUPDATE 1: I'll have you know that I've updated the PDF. I'd inadvertently included Gary's STR-based damage bonus house-rule, because I was using said house-rules in my campaign. I've updated the sheet so that just the LBB attribute bonuses are listed explicitly, but there's a little spot for the other three in case your house-rules add bonuses for other attributes. I have not included stuff like additional languages, maximum number of henchmen, etc; these seem to be infrequently used. However, I'm now thinking of a tabloid-sized (11x17) triptych version of this sheet (with optional reverse pages for notes etc), with each panel optimized for some "mode" of the game. General character overview — first panel. Combat or misc argy-bargy — second panel. Wealth, henchmen — third panel. Buncha notes — back panels. Watch this space for an update! UPDATE 2: Ok so basically nobody has a tabloid printer, and 11x14 doesn't really work all that well for digest size. Even worse, I tried to "eat the dogfood" by using the 2-up sheet to record a 3rd Level Magic-User and failed to get all the important notes onto the sheet, resorting to the blank reverse pages to make it work. That implies two things: a double-sided (digest-sized) sheet is required for even low-level Fighting-Men; and additional pages for spellbooks would be useful for the Magic-Users and Clerics. I also need to use the available space better than I have. Stay tuned!

I used some pictures online to make this pdf of The Character Archaic (1975, 1st printing). It's fuzzy but can be read for the most part:

Did they acquire a complete transfer or only a license?

Did the supplements change the game enough for the necessity of a more complex character sheet?

Did the supplements change the game enough for the necessity of a more complex character sheet? It depends how much you want to track without referring to the booklets. Greyhawk, for instance, adds a layer of complexity to learning new spells and caps the limit you can know, both based on the INT stat. Many OD&D character sheets account for this. Obviously Psionic potential and abilities would be another logical inclusion.

Very clean! I like it. I'm one of those people who looks at a character sheet for whatever new (to me) game I'm perusing and If the character sheet is a mess or looks like a Tax form, I pass on the game.

I noticed that the illustrations for the Character Archaic are copyright 1975, Bradley Schenck. Has he given permission to reprint them?

Doing a quickie search for OD&D char sheets, I found Falconer's original post back from 2010 and his PDFs... which I promptly made into form fillable, without seeing the other awesome PDFs here. But, I'm a sucker for the near-original-simulacrum, so I'll share what I made with a quickie online PDF editor out of Falconer's 14 year old PDF... drive.google.com/file/d/1GjnGN5p8Fo7IjND_iS6zt-CK0X0YAj9d/view?usp=sharing

I have this sheet and maybe the form fillable version too. But thank you! Looks great.
