SR4 Excel Character Creator Spreadsheet, v0.9 - almost final version Options

[Wizdoc]

UPDATE: v0.991 posted. List of updates & download link in the appropriate post downthread.




I've been working on a SR4 Excel Character Creation Spreadsheet ever since the PDF came out. The current version (v0.9.) is in such a state I can post it for everyone to test out. While it's definitely not the final version, it is fully functional. You can create a fully playable character with the current version, though, including picking cyber & bioware that are automatically calculated into the stats when applicable (e.g. Dermal Plating or Wired Reflexes).

What is currently missing:

* Most of the weapons & gear
* Most of the hermetic magic spells
* All Adept powers and shaman & Hacker stuff
* Most of the Magic/Hacker oriented second page (for displaying programs, spells, dice pools etc.)

There also might be some bugs and strange results I haven't thought about. The layout (especially in the printable pages) are also not in their final form. They may not print out as they should.

NOTE: The spreadsheet does contain macros. They're only used for the (currently non-existent) "Clear Character" button, so feel free to disable the macros if you're paranoid.

What I'm looking for are your comments. What do you think? What should be improved? What is confusing in the sheet?

Thanks

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am no longer developing this particular character sheet. Other people have graciously continued my work (see updates and discussion downthread), but I still continue to receive e-mails asking questions about this. This sheet has changed (and improved) so much since I worked on it, I can't really help anyone asking particulars how stuff in it works anymore, as I have pretty much lost track of how everything goes together myself. Sorry.

So - I can't respond to any queries or questions about the character sheet anymore!

Thanks for understanding, and keep up the great work you folks have done to it.
