The combat options portion of the rules seems to be the most frequently looked up rules at my table.  My players love them but sometimes forget which ones are available.

Ditto! My players most frequent book references are also the combat options.

I have found that when introducing new folks to the game, having a table of what classes require what minimum statistics to be incredibly useful - as they're "window shopping" for options based on what they've rolled. Have just been using one super basic one posted on discord.

We do method 2 - have found it to be a great middle ground option while still having that "as the dice lay" feeling.

Awesome, I'm a fan of how clean this sheet is and how it is shaping up!

I think of the character sheet as one of the primary user-interfaces for everyone playing the game at the table. Some of my immediate thoughts of usability that are hopefully constructive, but certainly subjective!

- As the combat matrix is the most often referenced item on the character sheet, having it towards the middle of the page makes quick recall slightly more taxing on a player, versus having it under the weapon combat table. I believe a typical flow for reference would also originate from the weapon combat table, looking for modifiers, and then moving on to the combat matrix - where a "underneith" grouping feels natural

- The various bits currently of italicized helper text are fantastic! For example "Apply weapon's "Attack Modifier" to d20 attack roll". It reminds me of Steve Krug's "Don't make me think" in that players at the table are going to be in a hurry to accomplish the task right before them, and guides like these help reduce cognitive load. The mothership character sheet is a fantastic example of this done to an extreme - tho, I don't think that would work here.
Some possible similar text could be adding the exchange rate for currency to the gold standard.

- Speaking of the currency part - a potential "prettying" formatting change that would free up room to write in those larger sums of gold: moving the shorthand formats to suffixes and having them be all right-aligned (and possibly slightly muted so they could be written over if desired).
e.g.
`Gold (gp): 100` becomes `Gold: 100 gp`
Which allows taking advantage of the proximity effect for the shorthands, since it gives the ability for them to be vertically aligned together. Similar to page 1 with the "%"'s built in

- Going from one gestalt principle to another, the "continuation" of the character sheet is fantastic in regards to the combat section on the bottom of page one, and generally quite strong on all of page 2. T
