Glimcogworks, on DF, posted an Excel spreadsheet character sheet that's really handy. Most new forum-ites open up with a post of "hey, how you doing, I'm just getting back into D&D after a 'X' year absence and I'm really glad to have found your site" or some such. Glim just dropped this sheet off and sped away like a he was making a link-n-run.
And it's a nifty sheet - probably near enough to the holy grail if you are a late 1E period gamer. It automates all the calculations, and plugs in appropriate tables such as weapon vs. AC and the to-hit matrices.
The further you get from the 1979 DMG, the percentage of a 1E hardback that will see use in my game becomes smaller, so its nice that areas of the sheet such as NWPs are optional. All I need to know to have a complete NPC sheet are the stats, class and any weapons known. Pretty sweet for a gift horse I wasn't expecting when I swung by to check out DF's 1E forum.
Highly recommended! Grab it and, if you like it, say thanks to Glim for sharing his work.
