Based on Vincent's prior work on the NPC charts (which are amazingly useful, but there have been a few concerns raised about needing some fixes, probably due to Vincent's development of the charts on pre-publication materials), I have been working on revised versions. On the following link is the test sheet for a Cimmerian Barbarian:
http://www.yandros.com/RPG/Conan/BarbarianTest.pdf
The form uses much of the same information as Vincent's, with a few notable changes: some columns are rearranged (e.g., ability scores before skills, etc.), there are separate columns for melee and ranged dodge (which will differ to the extent that a shield is being used, which some sheets I develop will include), the type of armor is listed in a notes column, ranged AP includes applicable STR bonus, the 1st level character doesn't have Improved Initiative (if all foes had this at 1st level, it may result in a war of escalation among PCs, who might feel the need to also always have it at 1st level to compete), some hunting bows have STR ratings, some weapon selections are different (dropped Hyrkanian bow for STR rating Hunting Bow, seemed more appropriate for the Cimmerians who are remote from Hyrkania), skills are probably a little differently allocated, etc.
The character is assumed to be using a one-handed melee weapon in two hands and wearing the armor listed, for purposes of the final numbers listed. The numbers are calculated based on including racial modifiers (e.g., Cimmerian ability score modifiers and will save bonus), bonuses for continuous feats (e.g., dodge, improved initiative), armor modifiers to Defense and Skills, and AB, AP, and Dmg factor in the particular weapon listed. Contingent feats such as Point Blank Shot and Fighting-Madness and contingent skill bonuses such as racial bonuses in certain environments are not factored in as they are subject to conditions present in the game. I may include a "bonuses" column below the skills list to show those contingent skill bonuses.
Note, these are not 100% complete characters as a few non-combatant items may be left off, e.g., the Cimmerian has a -2 to Diplomacy checks but that skill isn't included.
Offhand, the only thing this test version appears to lack is the #s for attack bonuses for additional attacks.
I would appreciate any feedback, especially as to whether there are any outright errors, such as things not adding up. Afterward, I intend to continue on, and update the sheets for each class. Further, Vincent originally included a sheet for each favored class for each race from the main book, except for Scholars, and I plan to include each of the ones he included as well as Scholars and a few variants (e.g., maybe a couple of versions of Hyborian Soldier, one with a 2-handed weapon, one with a 1-handed weapon and shield, etc.).
