Here you will find downloads and information about Phoenix (a GCA character print sheet).
Please submit all bug reports, feature requests, questions, and comments at the official GURPS® Character Assistant support forum; I check the forum regularly and will do my best to help you. You may also want to take a look at the Phoenix FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).
Additionally, for those using code from Phoenix in their own sheets or those just interested in what's under the hood, there's the Phoenix source documentation.
Features & Examples
Phoenix is one of the most full featured character print sheets for GCA, supporting more features than practically any other sheet. Through its options, it is also highly configurable, allowing you to customize many aspects of the sheet. Just a few of its many feature are:
- Support for changing the sheet styling (i.e. fonts, lines, shading, etc).
- Support for choosing which sections of the sheet print and in what order.
- Support for Super-Effort ST in the statistics table.
- Support for additional statistics, above and beyond the normal selections.
- Support for wound and usage record checkboxes for Hit Points, Fatigue Points, Stress Points, Energy Reserves, and Power Items.
- Support for GCA's armor diagram/paper-doll, including shield arcs.
- Support for non-combat details for advantages and disadvantages (e.g. rolls, ranges, etc).
- Support for equipment load-outs.
- Support for printing various descriptive tags for traits in many blocks.
- Support for integrating and scaling units with measurements.
- Built-in Spell Grimoire and Campaign Log.

-
A special version for Wine users having issues with the paper-doll's shield arcs diagram in the Defenses block. This version removes the shield arcs diagram completely, so only download this if you need it; if you do not use Wine, or do but do not suffer from the noted issue, you do not need this.

Release Notes
- Added border styling options for checkboxes.
- Added, optional, support for marking traits that have unfullfilled needs or taboo conflicts in Advantage-type and Skill-type blocks in Quick View mode (default: enabled); these join the previous defaulting skill marker option, which works in both Print and Quick View modes. The markings and their positions are similar to those used by GCA, a uppercase P ("P") or an exclaimation point ("!") preceding the trait. Options to control their usage and styling, as well as that of the defauting marker, are found in the Font & Styling Options section.
- Changed the Melee and Ranged Attacks blocks column notes charts so that they may also be printed as single unified chart. The unified chart will print after whichever attacks block prints last.
- Fixed a bug that could make Advantage-type blocks fail to print footnote symbols on traits under certain circumstances.
- Various minor tweaks and adjustments.
