Killer Shrike's character sheet v2 customized by etherio
HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: HTML, HTM
 
This template is modified from an excellent original created by Killer Shrike. Changes were made to reflect my personal tastes. I've formatted the page to include comprehensive personal info reminiscent of the old Marvel Universe format, such as "Group Affiliations," "Legal Status," and the like. I've also added some combat info, updated range mods, optional combat maneuvers, and auto-calculated mph/kph for most movement powers.
 
A character image at about 400 pixels high should display nicely.
 
To use this export format, you will need to also use my custom template:Superhero Custom Template edit by etherio.hdt. It is available for download below.

6E HTML Old Style Default Character Sheet Superheroic games Simon
HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: HTML, HTM
 
The Export format is based on the 5th edition "DefaultPrintTemplate.hde". I added the new 6E Characteristics, placed the characteristics in the new order. Fixed some formatting issues. Loosened up the cell spacing. Added the new combat maneuvers.. Worked on keeping the formatting readable and consistant while still maintaining the feel of the 5e character sheet. Fixed wordwrap issue for background/appearance fields
 
If printed, this sheet will now properly break in both IE 6.0 and in Firefox 3.5x, Safari will not properly page break. For Mac and Windows users, I recommend printing using Firefox 3.5 or later for best appearance.
 
If you have a ton of powers, Talents and Equipment this Sheet will like almost all of the export formats break mid page.
 
The file "HeroSystem_6ELogos.jpg" needs to be included in same directory as the character's export file.
 
If the character has an image associated with it and you want to have that image included in the HTML output, you will need to save that image into the same directory as the HTML file when you export (the export wizard will prompt you to save the image). Keep image sizes to less than 246pt x 400pt or the image will be resized by the browser (which makes for ugly pictures)

RTF Compact 6E (SH) Shane Harsch
HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: RTF
The layout is a clean two column format with indenting and bolding for clarity. The Hero System logo is in the document, and nearly all character tags/information are included. Redundant information is avoided (e.g. STUN is listed only once).
 
Sections are by column. Usually you can condense a character to 2 pages just by rearranging sections.
 
The RTF in this format is only supported by MS Word, which is supported with the MS Word Viewer (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4).
 
Other Notes
* All skill levels put along side Combat Skill Levels
* Encumbrance is only displayed if you have equipment
* Equipment lists in a more "equipment like" format
* Secondary STR produces Secondary ENC Table
* If you have an image file the file size will be bloated if you just preview the character. Use Export to File to ensure the smallest file size possible.
* Image should fit under background and must be a JPEG
 
Please feel free to send me comments or corrections.

6E Superhero Custom Template edit by etherio
HERO System Sixth Edition
Genre: Champions
 
This is the 6e template I'm currently using for our Champions campaign. It's based off the Superhero template and is formatted to work with the export format I use (original credit to Killer Shrike): http://www.herogames.com/getHDExportFormat/241979/Killer_Shrikes_cha_sht_customized_by_etherio.hde
 
The only differences are on the Basic Info and Background tabs. Some fields are omitted, and others have been relabeled to match the export output.
 
If both are used together, the character sheet will include info reminiscent of the old Marvel Universe books.

Champ - General Everyman Skills - Generous
HERO System Sixth Edition
Genre: Champions
These are the everyman skills I use in Super Hero, Modern, and Sci-fi games (with small adjustments to fit the campaign). I believe there are a great deal of untrained tasks that characters should have a small chance of accomplishing, so these were created with that in mind.

HTML Hero 3 Column Derek Hiemforth
HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: HTML, HTM
This is the classic 3-column style used in 4th Edition. It has the Hero System logo, includes the Hit Location chart, and does not have a space for a character picture.
The "hero6.jpg" file should be placed in the same location as the character is being exported to.
This export template creates output in HTML format. This format -- although easy-to-use -- does not allow strict control over margins, fonts, etc. When you view the exported file, a great deal of how it looks will be controlled by how your browser's preferences are set. So for example, if you find that the entire sheet doesn't fit on a printed page, try changing the margins in your browser's print setup. If the text size appears too small or too large for you -- on screen or when printed -- try adjusting your font sizes in your browser preferences, and so on. The options set within this template itself are designed to try and provide good output on most systems, but -- since every configuration is a little different from every other -- you may need to tweak the settings on your end to get a result you're happy with. Modified by GeekySpaz for use with 6th Edition. -Added OCV and DCV to the Characteristics. -Added OMCV and DMCV to the Characteristics. -Deleted COM from the Characteristics. -Replaced Disadvantages headings with Complications.

FH - Melee Weapons 1
HERO System Sixth Edition
Genre: Fantasy Hero
I've redone the Melee Weapons prefab available here to suit my needs. Among other things, I've corrected the writeups - the old version had weird Advantages (like "Stretching 2m +1/4") and Limitations. This version is correct as far as Active/Real Points go.

6E HTML The Ultimate Character Sheet by desaturated
HERO System Sixth Edition
Type: Single Character
File Extensions: HTML, HTM
 
This is a must have for every player and game master. This character export sheet looks radically different than the plain black and white sheets. It is styled to match the colours of the rule books and is done in a fun highly legible style. It has the functionality of the default character sheet, but has the following differences:
 
Collates all combat information including Attack Powers, Defense Powers, Sensory Powers, Equipment and Martial Maneuvers in a special page block. Along with useful combat stats, combat values, combat modifiers, and hit locations tables.
 
Powers, Equipment, Talents, Martial Arts, Skills, Perks, and Complications are in a wider single column format.
 
Any notes you've included in the Hero Designer will be now be visible!
 
Respects any formating you've done to your powers or abilities. Numbered list titles and numbering.
 
Skills, abilities rolls, and Endurance costs clearly visible along the left hand side. Point costs on the right.
 
Split into 4 pages for cleaner printing.
 
The character image is on the 1st page with characteristics, personality, quotes, background and descriptive information.
 
The recommended picture size: 288px wide. The image should be anywhere from 352px to 442px tall.
 
The file " herologo.png " needs to be included in same directory as the export file.
 
If the character has an image associated with it and you want to have that image included in the HTML output, you will need to save that image into the same directory as the HTML file when you export (the export wizard will prompt you to save the image).
 
--Modified from the Default character sheet by desaturated May 2010, again in August 2011 with support for 6th Ed, again in January 2013 for finishing touches and bug fixes, fixed Move Through [v/5 to v/10] July 2013

1 - 12 - The Phases an P here means the character has an action at their Primary SPD/An S means they have an action on their secondary SPD.

Exceptional Actions - Actions done by the character that I want to jot down.

I know that there are a lot of fields, I hide and show them in my spreadsheet as needed. Most of the time I keep just a few for a minimal combat record sheet showing.
