Who is This For?

If you are buying a Dungeons and Dragons product for a loved one, you might consider giving this if:

1.) He or she is a solid Dungeons and Dragons player or DM. Having her own character sheets is one less thing the DM must procure for the group and it gives her the space to record all her magics, weapons, personal belongings etc.

2.) There is a two page one-size-fits-all character sheet in the back of the Player’s Handbook which can be photocopied and used. The Character Record Sheets, however, have character sheets specially designed for particular classes. What does this mean? Each character sheet addresses the character’s strengths (such as a spell list for the wizards and clerics) and reduces or eliminates sections that don’t pertain to a character (fighters don’t have spell lists). This allows for a better arrangement of information which speeds up play.

3.) He is new to Dungeons and Dragons and doesn’t have a group of players. Chances are he’ll have to be the DM when he brings his friends together to play. This would be a good purchase only if he expresses a willingness to be the DM.

Do not buy this if:

1.) He is certain he wants to continue playing an earlier version of the Dungeons and Dragons game. He’ll want a character sheet that corresponds with the version of Dungeons and Dragons he’s playing.

2.) She is still uncertain if she wants to continue playing the game or not.

Best Use of This Product:

Dungeons and Dragons players should get their own copy of the Character Record Sheets and then photocopy the sheet for the particular character they want to play. Thus if you play a fighter, you’ll always have a clean fighter character sheet to use (and won’t have to purchase another copy — although they are inexpensive) and you’ll have the other character sheets in case you want to try a something different.
