Suggested Price $3.00

A basic collection of Interactive Character Sheets for Vampire: The Masquerade 5. Edition. [ENG Version]


What do these character sheets have to offer?

Design

Formfillable PDFs:
Fill your character sheet directly at the computer. Use convienient multiline textfields and enjoy the accuracy of manually aligned input fields.

Compact file sizes:
Character sheets have been optimized for the most compact file sizes, despite costumization options and PDF scripting. For an even smaller collection of characters, use the Character Sheets marked as "MINI". They do not contain any of the costumization options, but benefit from all the same scripted functions. The smallest available character sheets is less than 700 kb is size and is therefore easily shared with your friends via Discord.

Printer-friendly designs:
All sheets presented here have a printer-friendly design with a white background. Hence, all custom designs can be printed for analogous play at the table if desired. (* dark-themed designs are made available separately.)

Modular layout:
Available in a 2-paged and a 4-paged basic layout that can be expanded with numerous optional pages ("Extra"). A 12-page Macrosheet leaves nothing to be desired and is perfect for longer running chronicles.

Customization options:
Customization options are organized in PDF Layer. Choose between various Clan and Sect Logos, Border Designs and Watermarks!
All Settings are saved and stored within the sheet and restored when opening the sheet. No Adobe Acrobat PRO version required!

Overview of Customization Options

Functions

One-of-a-kind PDF scripting:
The character sheets combine multiple unique functions in a scripted PDF. These functions are most noteably:

  • A QuickFill Assist function automatically fills your Dots to the desired value. No need for clicking individual checkboxes anymore.
  • Mixed multistate Checkboxes allow for the proper tracking of damages according to the rules of Vampire: The Masquerade 5. Edition and differentiate between Superficial and Aggrevated Damages.
  • Autocomplete function fills in basic information for you. Pick your Clan (even by common Aliases) and the Character Sheet automatically fills in information for your Clan's Bane and Compulsion. It calculates your Health and Willpower. It looks up all infos required from the Blood Potency table.
  • Pick your Discipline powers using a dynamically refreshing Discipline Selection Menu
  • Take advantage of useful Tooltips during play by hovering over the Discipline Power's Name. 

    Overview of scripted functions


Multilingual support:

Character sheets have been translated to up to 8 languages (i.e. ENG / ESP / FRA / GER / ITA / POL / POR / RUS )
This is the ENG version. Please check back for more options later.

Please note....

These interactive scripted WoD5e Character Sheets are optimised for use with Adobe Acrobat!
Other PDF viewers and Browser extensions might not support the full feature set of these character sheets or will simply not look as intended!
If you are experiencing problems, please consider using FoxIt PDF Viewer or use only sheets without PDF Layer customization options (labeled "MINI").

This collection of character sheets does not differ from character sheets shared under the DarkPack Agreement, which are continuously shared with the community for free. Any purchase of this product is therefore voluntary.

If you would like to use these character sheets to create STVault content, you are generally free to do so.
I would only ask you to acknowledge my work (at best with a reference to ways to support this work) and to consider supporting this work yourself. It would help me a lot and it is much appreciated. Please feel free to get into contact with me (e.g. via Discord), if you have any questions. I am generally open for colaborations.

With that....
Enjoy your games!

Is there any plans to do something like this for Hunter and Werewolf?

Hey, of course. Preliminary sheets for them are already done.
I will try to update my STVault content soon, but generally speaking it is the last place you can find my interactive custom WoD5e character sheets, also because the STVault usually opens its gates quite late for new games in the World of Darkness (i.e. at least a year after release). The first place to look is my GoogleDrive. You find a link to my Dark Pack content Here: https://www.linktr.ee/nerdbert.

Keep in mind my content is always for free (with the option for donations via Ko-Fi and Patreon) or available on a pay-what-you-want basis (on the STVault; which takes a 50% cut for the opportunity the marketplace offers). If you see my sheets anywhere else behind a paywall, it is probably a scam and not me selling them.

EDIT: I have to say, however, the Vamptober 20121 Moodboard designs are exclusively available on STVault simply as a means to save cloud storage.

I just had a notification of one Sammi B. asking:
"Hello, thank you for the brilliant character sheet! It helps a lot! I have read your blog and tried editing it to a Chinese version myself for other Chinese players but failed. I used Ai to make the underline dots after skill names align translated skill names, but it can't interact anymore when I saved. Could you help me? Or I can provide the translations for you."

Unfortunately, I don't find this comment in the list of comments below, so I can't reply directly to Sammi. I hope they see this.
You probably saved the PDF from Illustator, i.e. without any form data. If you have character sheet translated already, you can send me the pdf file and I merge it with my forms. Please contact me on Discord or Twitter using @_nerdbert_, I am happy to help.

Even though the description says "All Settings are saved and stored within the sheet and restored when opening the sheet. No Adobe Acrobat PRO version required!" I'm finding this isn't the case at all.

The different layers look awesome, but after customising, filling in, and saving... the next time I reopen the character sheet it's reverted back to the original design. :( Tested with both Acrobat Reader and Firefox .pdf viewer.

Any idea what's causing this?

I have indeed.
A) Use freshly downloaded sheets. The sheets you can find here or on my Google Drive (Link: www.linktr.ee/nerdbert) should work as intended. I recommend using empty sheets for new characters.

B) Don't use browsers or browser previews to edit my sheets. My sheets don't work as intended on browsers. Beside other problems with font and colors, all browsers I have testes thus far either have issues with the layer states (most of the time showing all layers at the same time), the representation of button fields with caption and icons (used as a workaround to introduce multistate checkboxes for Damage trackers, they just wont work) or PDF scripting (with main issues in autocalculation, custom drop discipline drop down menues or - and this is most relevant to your question - saving the layer upon closing and reapplying the layer state upon reopening). Furthermore, if you edited and saved the sheet in a browsers, the file is usually broken, functionalities are gone and the sheets don't...See more

Thank you for taking the time to reply, Patrick, it's appreciated. Turns out it was that "Restore last view setting when reopening documents" toggle box that was the problem.
I'm on a Windows 11 PC and have never adjusted the settings in Acrobat Viewer, so it's possible that feature is now disabled by default.

Happy to help and thank you. It is good that you asked.
It can very well be a new default in the new Acrobat version. I will make sure to highlight it more prominently with the coming update.

Thank you very much for the interest in my scripted WoD5e character sheets.
Apart from the Storyteller's Vault, I tend to organize my DarkPack content via a dedicated GoogleDrive. Links to it can be found via https://linktr.ee/nerdbert
Please be aware that the Vamptober Moodboard designs are exclusively available on the Storyteller's Vault to save cloud space. Dark themed character sheets tend to be significantly larger in filesize. Link to the Vamptober Moodboard designs can be found here: https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/376395
Please make sure to share the character sheets with your friends and make sure to edit them in stand alone PDF Viewers for the optimal user experience.

kind regards.

Unfortuneately, I really don't know at the moment.
I would love to have the translations updated a long time ago already, because I really want to provide this tool to as many people as humanly possible.
But - I hope you understand my reasoning behind all this...
1) post-Covid, my free time has been stretched incredibly thin. I oftentimes don't find the time to work on anything after work or on the weekends. I really hope this changes soon again, but until then TTRPG Rule No.1 "Real-life comes first!" applies. Sorry.
2) the more I work on translations, the less I can work on improving the English version (and I still see a lot of space for improvements and new features in the English version). For example, I plan to add a ton of tooltips to the sheets, that help new players build their first character and save everybody a little bit of time searching through the books. All of these tooltips would require translation themselves.
3) All changes I make to the English version...See more

Oh, and please have a look at this GoogleDrive Folder in particular. This is my way of organising the translations with the community. Every help to keep the material updated is welcomed. The more people help, the faster I can provide updated versions.

I seem to have encountered a bug where attempting to remove points from the "Current Experience" tracker results in Acrobat crashing every time that I try it. Everything else seems to work as expected, though, and the sheets are phenomenal.

Okay, first of all thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.

Could you maybe tell me which file you are using and maybe which version of Acrobat? Also how are you removing them? Are you clicking on a lower number of XP or are you using the resetFields button on the bottom right corner of the first page? Is it happening at all XP values? I can't seem to reproduce this problem. It is working for me.
But I know that Adobe is sometimes struggleing a bit perfroming the Quickfill function on the experience points. The reason is the function currently checks the number of potential fields in the document each time before changes are made. Since there are so many checkboxes, it usually takes a short moment to loop through them, but I never experienced any crashing even with current maximum of 300 fields in the 12-page sheet.

Must have honestly just been something locally. I rebooted my PC here today and now it is working as expected. I'm willing to chalk it up to Adobe strangeness. Again, fantastic job with these!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
