Add Character Sheet layout to pick from when creating pdf - Single page character sheets #117

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. People have gotten frustrated in having "tons of pages to read" for a character sheet.

Many of them asked for an option of "a single page" or a "back to front page at most and just for the spellcasters"

For now i've copied the charsheets generated by orcpub into the proposed generic charsheets attached.

Describe the solution you'd like Give an option to have:

• the standard, already implemented "multipage charsheet",

• a "single page charsheet without proper spellcasting" for those who really want to have their character on a single page all there without having to leaf through several pages.

Since such a charsheet never allows for spellcasting... For now i've just translated the spellcasting into a simple list of spells in the "feature and traits" with a checkbox ❏ that allows people to select what's prepared and a series of checkboxes that allow people to see what they used.

e.g.: warlock (the celestial) 1; [CHA]; DC 13; attack: +5; cantrips - Eldritch Blast; Prestidigitation; Light; Sacred Flame; 1st - ❏❏ - ❏ cure wounds; ❏ healing elixir;

• a "back to front charsheet with spellcasting" for those who still want most of the info but also want a spellcaster spell list which is more readable.

I've attached proposed charsheets which should satisfy the conditions since they are NOT class based and are adaptable to any character.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I went through several charsheets.

These attached seem to be the most readable among my player groups.

I still think the reading gets cramped, especially at high levels for classes such as the cleric, and they become very sub-optimal for multiclass characters with several spellcasting classes

(though i have made "image edits" of the second page of the second sheet to have 2 spellcasting classes and use the first character sheet for the front pages, but i honestly discourage players from doing multiclass spellcasters and then asking me "a single page", and only did so twice because of people which were seriously whining)

In any case several people told me they prefer tiny writing to "15 f*****g pages"
