FS Character Sheet w/ Skills

[jpneok]

Yes, it's that time again. I have compiled a new set of updated FS character sheets, now with juncture skinning and "watermarking", shot counter, Big Bruiser/Normal dual Death Check/Impair listing (on one sheet) and streamlining a few different rough edges from the initial batch.

like it. A lot.
Having each player have their own little shot counter is very useful.

Great to hear another thumbs up. Shot counter due to previous posters here really rallying for that cause. I personally don't really use a shot counter itself when I run FS, I just count down in my head and sometimes have another player help remember - a shot counter track seems like it would be quite helpful now that I think about it. The shot track thing is really the main drawback I think FS has, it has a structured linear sequence of "you can go at this time, but can't at this time" - it seems like it's the only thing that really breaks up the theme, to me.

I don't see it that way, I almost see it as bullet time where you are skipping to one person, asking them what they're doing on shot x say, all the while someone who is acting on a previous shot is half way through doing their "uber ninj' flying kick of kung-fu doom". In my mind it makes it all very fluid and less turn based than say something like D20.

Interesting perspective - I like the way you explain it, I can kinda dig the "flow" like you say, perhaps even the... Feng Shui of it?

I guess it's is so broken up, someone goes on 18, then they do something that takes say 5 shots, and go again on 13, etc. I do like how you can sacrifice later actions by "spending" some immediately to get a short-term gain or defense, etc. It just takes a little getting used to.
