Description[edit]
This template, heavily inspired from Alarielle's ideas to Konig Des Todes's graphic skills and fueled by Shewmake's crafting genius, tries to capture the essence of a character's biography and skillsets.
The generated character sheet is centered with a fixed size of 826x626 pixels : rugged borders (13 pixels each) surrounding a background image 800x600 pixels. The content is divided into two panels and an optional skillbar : on the right, character's data and on the left, character's story elements... as shown in the preview and examples sections.
Thanks[edit]
- User:Kha for the ongoing feedback and bug tracking.
- User:Konig Des Todes and User:Infinite : for the initial layout.
- User:-Alarielle- : for her improved layout, upon which I decided to make it a full template.
- User:Shewmake : Big one, for the template design ideas and interface images (icon borders and underwater swap) :
- To those using the template. ^^
