I'm struggling with figuring out that spreadsheet, so I think I'll put together a Myth-Weaver Sheet first, then see if I can't port it into the google one later. Easier to build when I don't need to figure out where everything goes in at the same time.

Fair enough. Heck, just link me the Myth-Weaver one as well, and I can probably take an hour or so and port all of it over.

Since I have to figure this out for V's game also, I'm trying to make sense of it all.

Snag the first: I can't seem to find where that extra skill point for human needs to be flagged, also I don't see if there's an option for hooking off background skills?

The sheet does seem to allow me to just trod along with -3 skill points, so moving on.

Also, can our characters be despicable womanizing assholes, with possible abusing of charm person? Asking for a friend.

Um ... alright. Discussion time. In general, your characters should have some sort of agenda. Might be big or small, from simply trying to raise your personal fortunes, to reshaping the entire sociopolitical landscape. Anything on the Lawful-Chaos axis is fine, although you should also be either Good or Neutral. Straight-up Evil characters need not apply.

Now, that doesn't mean your PC can't have some serious character flaws. Think Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender (there was no Movie, only a Cartoon - any rumor you heard to the contrary is Fake News). In the beginning he's totally misogynistic, a braggart, and kind of an ass. He becomes very three-dimensional when we learn that a lot of that is his trying to cover up his deep insecurity about trying to fill his father's shoes, and protect the entire tribe. He feels inadequate to the task, and tries to hide that from himself and others with over-the-top bravado. Over the course of the Show he learns humility, and overcomes a lot of his sexist ways. He's still the same hilarious, funny guy. He just matures over time.

So, if you want the character to start out with some serious character flaws, as long as they don't completely derail the campaign, I've got no problem with that. Keep in mind that abusing Charm Person to get your way is on the pretty deep end of Neutral, at best. Combining that with 'despicable womanizing asshole' could easily lead to situations (or assumptions) that are straight-up Evil. So keep that in mind when crafting your character's flaws.

@zorbeltus you can put that human skill point or background skill points on teh FEAT tab under the SPPL (Skill points per level). I didn't make the base of this sheet, so don't ask me why its there, but there it is.

So I'm back, what do we need in the party? I have a good idea for a history, but nothin gon paper yet.

Did anyone end up with a Swashbuckler, cause if not I might go that route to fit me history idea.
