Custom character/morph/weapon sheets...
One thing thats been bugging me with the original sheets is that, while being beautiful, they don't really reflect functionally on the setting's premise. To be specific, they make it unnecessarily hard to change morphs, since all modifiers are applied directly on the character sheet. So, keeping with the game's theme of separation of mind and body, I made a new set of character/morph sheets. The idea, long-term, is to make available a full set of pre-printed sheets for all morphs from official sources as a PDF. Or perhaps make the sheets editable and just publish XML files that can be used to fill them. The idea here is that you only write your totals, including morph bonuses etc, on the morph shert. Your character sheet is your "baseline". If your character has two morphs, switchings is extremely simple - just switch morph sheets. No recalculation necessary. I also made weapon sheets based on the same idea; the sheet gives you the bonuses, you just type your modified values and fire or chop away, as the case may be. Again, the long-term plan is to create a set of pre-printed cards with all the wesponry available from official sources.

Re: Custom character/morph/weapon sheets...
I just noticed... For some reason, the sharing settings for the sheets had reverted back to the default "Private" setting. Should be fixed now.

Re: Custom character/morph/weapon sheets...
I prefer to use a set of alternative character sheets without any mention to the morph altogether, then make some "morph cards". This way, the player only needs to add the "ego skill total" to the "morph modifier". Sure, the player needs to look into two different sheets all the time, but... (and yes, gear is in a third page). It also helps to understand my position when we consider I tend to make by hand all the sheets (with OOwriter), since I tend to GM one-shots with new people who don't wanna spend a whole afternoon making the characters.
