is a cheat sheet of sorts for the career portion of character generation. The typical flow of the career phase is on the left, and exceptions are listed where the professions deviate from the norm.

It's very raw, so please comment as much as desired, including whether it's even worth having. It should have all the errata included.

NOTE: Dropbox can't handle vertical text, so you'll want to download it and open in Excel (2010 or later, but might work in 2007).

That looks great! Good idea for a layout for a quick reference guide.

This has been updated. I stretched the table to 2 pages so more detail could be included. I also combined the Merchant, Spacer, Soldier, and Marine entries on one page, and the remainder on the other page. This is because those 4 have 2 columns each (one for officers and the other for the rest).

I also added 13 more sheets, one for each profession. They contain the details of chargen for each profession. Mustering details and errata are built-in. Scholar, Citizen, and Soldier are probably in better shape than the others, because I've built more characters in those (and thus, noticed more issues). Craftsman and Functionary are just about worthless; I haven't figured those out yet even for my own use, so building helper docs is, well, let's just say it's a work in progress.

Things I hope to add are more detail & accuracy, plus the education process.

I recommend downloading the Excel workbook rather than viewing it in Dropbox/HTML. Dropbox loses vertical text, so some of it is hard to read. You'll need Excel 2010, although 2007 might work.

As always, I'm very open to suggestions.
