As much as I like AS&SH, I'm not digging the 4 page character record sheets.  Too much flipping back and forth in play.  It even slows down character creation.  My favorite character record sheets remain those produced by The Armory in the late 1980s/early 90s by Ken Carpenter.  They have space for everything on just two sides, including general skills/non-weapon proficiencies and can handle very high level characters.  Luckily, I still have some from when I bought a big pad back in the day (which included 7 parchment high quality sheets I've never used) and now I can just photocopy as needed.  It seems that only older versions of the Armory sheets, which are much less attractive, are still readily available online.  So I'll be switching over to these for my AS&SH characters as well. Just wondering what record sheets others found most useful.

The four pager is fine for me in a campaign setting where all the info is needed.  I usually create a much more concise character sheet for convention games.

I'm curious about the differences from the Ken Carpenter sheets vs. the very cramped Armory sheets I've seen (one of the guys in our group uses them, and they're more cramped than even the AD&D golderod sheets).  Do you have a scan/picture you can share?  They're not on the Mad Irishman's site already.

Thanks for the pointers---based on the cover art, I think I may have a set of these after all! :D

Looks like only image file types are available as uploads, Spider of Leng.  If you want to email the PDF to me directly, I can stick it up on my www.greyhawkonline.com site?
