Pathfinder automatic character sheet on Google Sheet
Hey all,
First of all, a small bit of context. I played a LOT of PF1 using u/darthmarth28 's automated sheet system. Being a programmer myself, fiddling with Excel / Google Sheet is nothing I am afraid of, and I did a lot of editing based on his work. In the domain, we would call his version a "Master" copy and my sheet would merely be a "Fork" of his work, an hommage, an extension of what he did, if you would. I do not think that I made any achievement here, he is the one deserving the credit for the basis, I merely edited and built on what he did.
The reason for this boring introduction is simple : in his sheet, he forbade rehosting of his sheet "as one's own work" and I want to be crystal clear that, yes I worked on this sheet a lot, but this is all an extension of his own work and he is the original author that I credit through my own work.
However, when switching to PF2, my play group loved the autosheet. And sadly, he didn't work a long time on the PF2 version, probably switching to another framework or another software, I don't know, I contacted him and didn't hear back. We, however, did not feel like switching software and I made a lot of edits and modifications on the sheet. With the release of the APG, that I included in the sheet, I felt that this community might like having another option in the toolbox. Yes there is Roll20, FoundryVTT an probably many others that I did not follow on, but my group can still meet and play with a simple rudimentary Google Sheet - even while the world is in this crisis, stay safe, people, please! - and I want to enable other groups on the interwebz to do so too if they please.
So with this long introduction, that I hope clears the fact that I am NOT stealing from another man's work, I present to you the Pathfinder 2E Autosheet - a fork by Johnnyjester. Make your own copy and try it away to build your character on it!
I do not guarantee that it is bug-free and 100% functionnal and accurate, but this is also a part of the objective with this public release : more eyes on the sheet could help me find annoying bugs and get rid of them :-)
With that, I bid you all a great day and may your table never Critically Fail!

This sheet looks amazing! With the edits following the APG this will make a lot of games easier and more fun I'm sure of it! Great edits! Makes me want to do a witch!
Great job adding the familiar zone too! :)
