After taking the pulse of the Community Forum, I am glad to officially announce that TOS+ will support the Pathfinder Rule Set!!!
Work to integrate this refined version of the D&D3.5 system will begin immediately, with initial support for the
Alpha 3 version of the Pathfinder rules. Once a newer version of the Pathfinder rule set will be available, the Sheet
will be updated to support it. This should be good news to Paizo, having one of the most powerful workbook now supporting their system!!

The latest TOS+, which came out a few days ago, added one heck of a nice
feature: The ability to generate up to 6 Gestalt classes very easily!! I
took a few hours to make a small video to show you how to do this in the
Sheet. Visit the
Video section to view the Gestalt Creation video!!

Wow time flies when you're having fun! Lots of news: TOS+ is now at
version 1.37, with an ever growing list of features! The Forum was [finally] updated to the amazing
PHPBB3 version - this forum version rocks!
- 2007 November 9th
I am happy to report that I have changed host for all content related to the
Sheet! This was needed to give you the best service that I can. This new
host should be much more reliable then the previous host and limit the
downtime of both the Homepage and the Forum.

The LAST issues of both DUNGEON Magazine and Dragon Magazine have a small publicity about TOS+! Can
you find it in those magazines?

WOW! The D&D Godlike figure
MONTE COOK himself, one of the 3

this thread!!

No April fools' here! 50 playable races were integrated in
version 1.101 of TOS+!!
This includes all the standard dragons, plus a bunch of nasty creatures.
Check the Download section (History) for the list. Enjoy!

It is done!! After working for 15 month on TOS+, it has now been made
Public!! Thanks to the help of the beta testers who have helped to flesh out
most of the bugs, the D&D community now has one of the most powerful tool
for their gaming pleasure! I have been using the LapTop worksheet myself for
several months now, and I am still amazed how fun it is to apply effects
simply by selecting them... I recall one of my D&D sessions, where my Pen-Based friends
were scribbling
the effects of the Haste spell on their character sheet, while I only needed
to type "haste" on the LapTop worksheet to see ALL effects
automatically applied of my Character... Now you can have this if you wish!
But if you don't have a LapTop don't worry: TOS+ still offers much for
printouts: With even MORE integration then before, and support for the
stacking rules, your characters will benefit from one of the Best tool for
D&D3.5!
- 2006 November 24th
The new product, referred to as TOS+, is now undergoing Alpha testing!
Similar to the current implementation, TOS+ will feature unprecedented
integration of the rules of D&D3.5, including the complex Stacking
Rules! Those who play D&D using their LapTops will be astounded by the
LapTop worksheet, a completely new sheet that gives a concise resume of
your character: Not only that, but the LapTop worksheet will allow you
to dynamically "Add" effects to your character. For instance, a Sorcerer
casts a Haste on you? No problem, just select or type that spell in the
LapTop worksheet, and your character will automatically be recalculated
to apply all the effects of the Spell! All this, while respecting the
stacking rules! But that is only the tip of the iceberg: you
will also be able to create your OWN custom items with effects! For
instance, you want a new magical sword that gives you +2 bonus to bluff,
+3 to your reflex saves and +10' movement speed? No problem: TOS+ will
allow you do define such a weapon! Distributed as a subscription, the release
date for TOS+ has not yet been set. Stay tuned!

here if you are curious about the Sheet.
Version 7.4 got the A Grade
Thanks to Mr. Grigsby for tackling this difficult task!
On Another note, it has been exactly 7 months today since I first mentionned Version 8 of the Sheet!!
Work is progressing very well, with several aspects being completed. A Video of the Laptop worksheet has
been produced to show of some of its capabilities - check the Forum for details!
- 2006 April 27th
After consulting with the people of the
community forum, I decided to change the name of
the Sheet to its domain name! The Sheet will now be referred to The Only Sheet

to magical items, to class and racial abilities, you will be able to instruct the Sheet so

- 2005 March 28th
VERSION 6.51 is Out! Many fixes have been ironed out since version 6.50
- Thanks to all those who reported issues!
- 2005 March 18th
I came across this new book:
D&D for Dummies - What is interesting (aside from giving this book as a gift
to those in needs...) is the accompanied text - here is an excerpt: "Market research
indicates that 4 million American males, ages 8 to 45, play Dungeons & Dragons, while
7.6 million who haven’t played say they want to learn how" - Makes one wonder
how many play D&D worldwide !!
- 2005 March 11th
VERSION 6.50 is OUT ! One heck of a BIG update, which has benefited from the
2 groups of testers who volunteered to help me improve the sheet!! The "Psionic
Expert" group were instrumental in the creation of everything Psionic in the Sheet,
while the "BETA Testers" group were able to find issues so I could correct
them before releasing!! Not to say that the Sheet is perfect, but it should be getting
there. Did I mention that the Mailing List for the Sheet has surpassed 100 Registered users?
(The mailing list is RESERVED for registered users) - I've started doing POLLS in the
Mailing List, and the new version is "empty" of any character information as
voted by the registered users - All new registered Users of the Sheet receives an
Invitation to join the Mailing list - so what are you waiting for ? Register your copy
TODAY!! Note: If you're a registered user and you're NOT reading the messages of the
Mailing List, you can check the release notes for version
6.50 - they contain nice details of changes!
- 2005 February 28th
The Sheet's homepage MOVED!!! Since you're reading this, you already know where... I
decided to get a more reliable Host for the sheet as the previous one was having too
many problems - Hopefully this won't be the case with Yahoo's Services!
- 2005 January 26th
Whew: VERSION 6.49 is OUT! Again another great release, with added features -
Druids, Rangers, Sorcerers & Wizards will finally be able to have their Familiar/Animal
companion on its own worksheet!! But the BEST feature of all is this GREAT NEW Registration
system, which will now allows users to get their updated version ANYTIME they want!! Just
Download the latest release, and apply your Personal Key to unlock it. Simple, eh ? USERS
ALREADY Registered can send an email to request their OWN Personal Key, provided you
include your Name & your Excel Version.
- 2005 January 13th
A NEW mailing list group has been created for the Registered users!! I figure it's a good
way to exchange information, tricks and news! Here is the URL:

The problem I had opening the Sheet with Excel 2003 seems to have dissapeared... In any
case, I am going to continue development of the sheet using Excel 2003. I've finished
entering all Animals from the SRD, so I've begun work on a Familiar/Animal Companion
worksheet - check it out in the next release!
- 2005 January 10th
Releasing VERSION 6.44 today. The main features are a Treasure Worksheet, which
help you keep track of all those Gold Pieces coming your way, and an improved feature
display for the character: So instead of dedicating 15 lines for each of the 3 class
features, those features are ALL merged in a single [big] cell, making this much easier
to add new features to classes (You can define up to 20 Class features per classes, compared
to 15 previously). The same was done with Racial Traits, so you can add more traits when
creating new races. Obviously, this generates extra space that will be very useful when
Templates have been added.
On the Excel 2003 Issue, I've switched development of the Sheet to that version - even
though opening the sheet by double clicking will cause excel to crap out. I've added a
Known Issue page to keep track of this problem and what I did to try to solve it....
Truth be told, I am more and more inclined to believe that Excel 2003 has a flaw, since
everything else I tried worked flawlessly - Heck even saving from 2003 and opening again
by double-clicking will cause Excel 2003 to fail... You can click
HERE to view the known Issue page - and if you have ANY idea why Excel 2003 craps out,
do let me know !

Another week, another update - Lots of COOL stuff in
VERSION 6.37!! One of you
brilliant users suggested placing the TOTAL character level on the Front worksheet - GEEZ
how did we all miss that!! Well, it's now in. I also received many comments and bug reports
from a couple of you sharp eyed users. Again, thanks for those precious comments, as it
helps us ALL have a better sheet!! (My current Character is a Bard/Ranger - so I *do* use
my Sheet!). Another great comment I received mentioned that the INT modifier was affecting
Skill Points from the START - The ONLY way to correct this, is to KEEP TRACK of the changes
in the Intelligence of the Character - Hence the "Intelligence Tracker" was born
in v6.36 - I've added more checking in v6.37 to make sure you don't forget any Skill Points
when using the Int Tracker. Check the Download section for details. Merry XMAS to all !. R.

I really got to Thank some of you Registered users for all the excellent comments and
suggestions you have - you are helping to make the D&D3.5 Multiclass Character Sheet
the best Sheet in the world!!
- 2004 December 7th
VERSION 6.30 is now available for Registered Users (in a couple of days it will
be up to all). Holy Crap - so MANY spells !!! Geez... I didn't think it would be such
an undertaking - I am sure glad this part of the sheet is behind me now!! BTW, I've added
the ability to get the Sheet as a GIFT to someone you love !! Check out question 6.8 in the
FAQ for details - Just in time for Xmas !
- 2004 October 28th
VERSION 6.12 is now available for Registered Users!! Another big version, with
EPIC support for ALL classes already in the Sheet!! Now I am fast approaching the day when
ALL rules have been coded in the Sheet - well, at least I'd like to believe so ...! Still
got a few things on my TODO list... hehe
- 2004 October 15th
D&D is 30 years old !! Wow - time flies when you're having fun... !!
- 2004 September 23rd
One Month of Work... That's the time I required to add ALL psionic Races, Classes and
Prestige Classes.... I've started sending updates of the Sheet to the registered users
and I've posted the latest version in the Download Section... Now, I wonder which new
Goodie I'll be adding next... :)
- 2004 August 24th
Finally - After A LOT of work, I've completely integrated all the SRD's Classes - including
Prestige Classes and NPC Classes. And you know what? I also modified the sheet to support
3 Classes instead of 2!! Yes, you heard me right: Triple Class Characters are now available!!
I did this mainly because some Prestige Classes had requirements which were more in line
with existing dual-class characters then single class characters. Because of this new
Functionality, a Name Change is in Order. After asking the registered user base for
suggestions, the new name of the sheet is: D&D3.5 MULTICLASS Character Sheet
- 2004 August 6th
Missed a few minor fixes - Version 4.22 should take care of them!!
- 2004 August 4th

VERSION 4.20 is OUT !! Check out the Features!
- 2004 July 5th
From now on, there will be 2 versions that people can Register: The Full Version, which
will (as always) grant future updates as they come along, and the Light Version which will
give the user access to all features (as per the Full Version), BUT without any future
Updates. I will be phasing in these new changes in the days ahead.
- 2004 June 29th
VERSION 4.10 is OUT !! - Whew - I can breathe now.. Registered users should
have their updates in the Mail. I added some cool features for this update, which I'm
sure is going to please more then a few people!! Check out the Features or the Download
section for details.
- 2004 June 22nd
VERSION 4.0 is OUT !! - After much consideration and suggestions by many people,
I've decided the sheet was ready to become SHAREWARE This means that if you use this
Character Sheet, you are expected to pay the small fee to the author. All people who have
already sent payment are considered having purchased the shareware version, and are
entitled to all future updates.
- 2004 June 4th
After weeks of hard work, version 3.0 is finally here! - I honestly believe it's
the best version yet!! Donators will receive their personalized versions within 24 hrs!
- 2004 June 3rd
The Next version of the Sheet, which was supposed to be 2.20, will be called 3.00 instead.
This is to reflect the fact that the next release has A LOT of improvement which qualifies
as a totally new thread. See the Download section for more details on the changes!
- 2004 May 26th
Version 2.0 is now available - To thank Donators, I've added features (Custom
Class & All Mounts) for them ONLY!!
