I’m preparing to run some combat stress tests in order to put the monster creation rules in Legends & Labyrinths through their final paces. In order to do that, I would like to get my hands on high level character sheets from actual play.
Let me explain what I mean by that: What I want are actual 3.0/3.5 characters who are 10th level or higher and reached that level by earning experience points at the gaming table and leveling up in an organic way. They don’t necessarily need to have started at 1st level, but I’d prefer to see characters who have seen at least 4-5 levels of actual play.
What I don’t want are pregens or characters that were freshly rolled up at higher levels. I’ll be doing some testing with those, too, but they’re easy to find or create.
(Why do I want ’em? In my experience, characters who are created at higher levels tend to look significantly different than characters who have leveled up to those levels. The organic process of gaining loot and shifting your intended character build in response to the campaign’s events creates different characters than those who are given an equipment budget and allowed to build to a focused spec in a single sitting. And while I’ve got samples from my own games, I’m specifically interested in getting a wide sampling of what the organic processes at other tables created.)
If the sheets are online, you can link me to ’em in the comments. Otherwise drop me an e-mail with “[Character Sheet]” in the subject line. (You can find my e-mail address on the About page.) I don’t particularly care what format they’re in, but I’m particularly interested in the equipment lists so don’t leave those out.
Also: The more the merrier. And if you’ve got multiple versions of the same character at different levels, send ’em all.
If you send me a sheet, I’ll be crediting you as a “Playtest Assistant” unless you tell me not to.
Thanks!
(I don’t need additional external playtesters at this time. When I do, I’ll be posting something about it here.)
Players from my Rise of the Runelords Campaign. I think Tumma and Muldoc joined around level eight, but I’m no longer sure.

Oops, did the second comment just get eaten?
Ok, try again… These two joined the Shackled City Campaign half way through…

Thanks, Alex! Comments with lots of links get held in a “pending” folder. I’ve approved yours.
For people posting in the future: If a comment with a lot of links doesn’t immediately appear, just post a quick comment without any links here to let me know that it’s been eaten so that I can track it down and get it approved.
Quick question… I can get you at least 3 character sheets that have grown from 1st level to… let’s see… level 13 at the moment. There’s a couple catches, though. I want to make sure this works for you before I bring them into work and scan them in.
1st catch: They’re Pathfinder PCs. They started out as 3.5, but have been converted for over a year. Is PFRPG ok?
2nd catch: They’re in my player’s hand writing, which in at least one case is illegible at best.
BTW, I agree, characters that “grow” from scratch look different than characters built at a higher level; which makes characters that join an ongoing campaign tend to be more effect, or focused, at least, than older characters.
Anyway, here’s the link to my character in Google Docs:

I’ve been running this character for several years.

Re: PFRPG characters. Just clearly mark ’em as such.
I’ll risk the handwriting. 😉
And thanks again to everybody helping out with this.
Hey Justin, long time reader here. Your work has done a lot for my game and here’s my chance to pay a little of it back.
Rasdal “Seebo” Baraherl is a character I played through 2 different campaigns from level 2 to level 13. Hope he’ll be of use to you 🙂
