Does anyone know of a good web based character sheet?

I would like one that includes all versions/books and such for feats and the like if possible. I HATE having to dig through 30000 books for feats.

I don't know of one that is web based, but the heroforge excel spreadsheet is fantastic.

EDIT: wait, this one's newer: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?501710-Excel-sheet-for-3-5-(2016-9-25-update) (Though, I think that the download link may go to the same place.)

This is intended to be lightweight as compared to heroforge and the like. It therefore doesn't come with any data baked in, which is something you may or may not like. Also, the sheet you spend most of your time on at the table (Summary) is laid out very differently from a paper sheet, because I find the layout I chose makes it easier to locate things quickly.

If you're willing to spend $20, the HeroLab system covers a lot of different game systems, including d20 (3.0, 3.5). The community file is free and includes most of the published books, as well as some content from Dragon Magazine. There are still holes in the community files, but it is constantly being updated with more content to make sure as much of the 3rd edition is present, in all its flawed glory. :smallbiggrin:

rrwood's sheet is quite comprehensive, and I'll second it. I'll also promote my own sheet (available in sig) that I think is a good automated improvement over the standard PHB one. Just fill in the white and pale gray cells with your data, and the dark gray cells with buffs or temporary changes.

Mythweavers.com has a popular web-based sheet that's easy to use. The problem with sheets including all the game data is that it breaks copyright, and it would also take forever to code all the rules in. By that point, you would have basically coded several Baldurs Gate/ Neverwinter Nights games.
