Hero Character Spreadsheet v1.0
By Allen Phinks
What is it?
This is a character sheet package for the Hero role playing system. It can be used for any of the
hero scenario's, however most of the experimentation was done under the Fantasy Hero system. Much
work went into ironing out the bugs, but some may still exist. It was originally written under Lotus 123
v2.1 (c) Lotus corp., but is easily translated to Excel (c) Microsoft Corp. It is assumed that it can be
moved to other spreadsheets and across platforms, but this has NOT been tested by the author, and he
takes no responsibility for ANYTHING.
History:
The origination of these sheets are lost in the prehistoric period, but the original sheets were
designed mostly by Larry Shafer. The current version is almost unrecognizable as different gamers have
given their input and preferences. The most current and radical re-write was undertaken by Allen Phinks
in 1992. The sheet was then been tested for 8 months under strenuous gaming conditions. Then a friend
of Allen, appreciating the hard work that went into it, had an inspiration. Why not get Allen some
compensation, and motivation to improve it even more.
Notes:
Included with the distribution package are 3 sheets Hero.wk1, Champ.wk1, and sample.wk1.
These sheets will take care of calculating through all information for the creation of characters under the
Hero System. Base points can be changed by changing the number in cell D28. Cell E45 and G45
should agree in value if the character is balanced. If it is not, cell D26 will read OOPS. Weights of
armor are generic and can by modified by you.
Hours of hard work have gone into the creation of this character layout sheet. Please feel free to
modify it to suit your characters, but please do not distribute it in modified form. If you use the sheet on a
regular basis, please mail $5 or whatever you can spare to:
Allen Phinks
