Could you please provide for download a "printer friendly" character sheet.  The existing character sheets have a grey background which chew up a lot of my ink, and becomes smudged when I erase stuff I have written on it.  A white background would be far better than the grey.  Please consider this.  Thanks.

I have no experience with image editing whatsoever; you can see where I attempted to glue bits of the paper together in MSPaint after print screening the sections of the PDF because it's too big for my monitor. I also won't try and pretend I did anything impressive. All I did was up the contrast by a whole lot after converting it to a greyscale, and here's what I got. I'm not satisfied with it enough to do it to the other sheets nor the experience/ability to make it better. I also can't make the FFG link disappear for some reason. Clever bastards.

Hopefully that's all you'll need to figure out how to do it to the other sheets yourself, or some kind and infinitely more talented/bored individual can shame me with their superior take on this "project."

have you tried on printer preference to print black and white?

What folks are saying is that they want a Black and White sheet with no shading, like this:

The above sheet is 'Printer Friendly'.

This next one is a NON-Printer Friendly.  Also notice the black bars where the player is supposed to fill in the data about their character's weapons.  No matter how I print it they always come out the same.

The version of the character sheet provided online is an ink hog AND mostly useless once printed.

Everything works better when you keep it simple.

I know. Talentlesshack has what you seek:

For completeness' sake the full sheet is here:

Highly recommended sheet.

Original minus black fields, better, done.

 Shameless self bump

It appears you posted this before me.

My thread is here

And the both awesome and printer-friendly character sheet that TechVoid replied with is here.

Also PrinceOfMadness has posted some pretty awesome-looking ones which are .pdf and form-fillable.  Their thread here and their sheets are here for download.  Don't know if PrinceOfMadness is still updating them or not, and some posters in that thread have expressed some concern for their accuracy.

All the same, kudos, respect, and thanks to TechVoid and PrinceOfMadness for contributing.
