Welcome!
Over the years, The Only Sheet plus [referred here as TOS+ or 'The Sheet'] has become one of the best (if not the best) AUTOMATED and DYNAMIC Character Sheet for players and Game Masters of both Pathfinder RPG and 3.5 OGL!! Much work has been done to create a sheet that could handle the complexity of the Stacking Rules.
This Wiki is dedicated to TOS+ and its newer siblings, TOS FIVE for the 5th edition, and TOS 2nd for Pathfinder 2e. Most of the information that applies to TOS+, also applies to its newer siblings!
Acknowledgments
There are many people who have contributed one way or the other, to make this Sheet what it is today. Each time a bug was found, an idea voiced or a proposal sent, that action brought the Sheet closer to perfection - which is a goal by itself. Here I would like to Thank all those wonderful people who have contributed to this project, in one way or the other. One special hug goes to my friend Tammy, who was the first one to encourage me in this. I have to bow to Patransom wisdom, whose initial suggestions and idea led to the creation of TOS+! LordVorp for is awesome coding skills, shai-hulud for for his dedication to the project and CGM3 for holding the title as the most creative voice!!
So to all of you, and to those I do not name here, I say:
Introduction
The Only Sheet+ is a Microsoft Excel¹ workbook which has been designed² to automate many aspects of character maintenance for players of the 3.5 OGL game published by Wizards of the Coast. This whole project started in November 2003, when I was preparing a character for a new campaign. After searching on the Web for all available sheets, I realized that the sheets available were of poor quality - they were ugly in almost all cases, and very complex to use. I then decided to do my own self-calculating Excel character Sheet while keeping in mind two important aspects: It had to be easy to use and it had to be great looking!
The Only Sheet is entirely based on the System Reference Document, which is part of the Open Game License.
¹ TOS+ requires Excel 2007 or more recent. It is not compatible non-Microsoft spreadsheets.
² Designed with the Newbie in mind - you do not have to be an Excel Expert to use The Sheet!

The Logos
Many thanks for the generous artists who have given me authorization to use their work to represent the Sheet!
The logo for TOS 2nd was created by the very talented artist Manthos Lappas, but owned by Matthew Fletcher, for his Gladiators of Dragon Isle (upcoming) game.
The logo for TOS FIVE is The Skyland Adventurers from PortBaron (designer) and ArtGutierrez (creator). Both have granted permission to use this wonderful image!
The Logo for TOS+ is based on the image "Uruk Chieftan of Barad Dur", created by Martin McKeown.
The Logo for the older TOS is based on the image "Here Comes Trouble", created by Erik Hilliker.
