SR CG 6.40 [WIP: Created by Aria, built on the SR5 version which had lots of input from others.

ut from others. Input: estradling for FS input, jacx7 for CRB spells page notes, Play Testers: Jack Spade, Markelph

To use this file please download a copy to your computer, you won't be able to amend it on Google Docs
Hi folks, to use this Excel generator please start on the '1 Priorities' Tab

This is split into 12 sections, starting with Basics, Character Gen method, the table itself, select race etc.

I suggest you right click on tabs that you will not use for this character (eg. Adepts, Spells etc for a mundane) and 'Hide' them… don't delete them as that might cause calc

Output comes on the 'Sheet CLR or BW' for paper copy, 'Sheet Text' for forum output (like SG) or 'Sheet OP' for Obsidian Portal output

These will autopopulate with attributes (and calculated attributes), skills, qualities, adept powers and spells. Gear etc will need to be manually copy/pasted from the releva
Thanks to gargaMONK for the automation!

If you want to print the whole document I suggest Ctrl clicking the tabs you want to print rather than the whole thing… I've set the print settings as best I can but it will still b
