I've been using an online character sheet made with a google doc spreadsheet, but I've gotten a bit frustrated with the limitations of the included inventory section. So I decided to try my hand at creating a spreadsheet specifically for inventory, and it's been kind of fun learning how to make certain things work. Here's some features I already have in the sheet, though this is still very much a WIP:
Input your Strength score, size, and any bonus (e.g. goliath racial).
Calculates your carry capacity based on the above. Includes values for variant encumbrance and push, drag, and lift limits.
Input number of each type of coin, calculates the weight of all your coins, and tells you how many pouches you'll need to carry them.
A main backpack section. Includes backpack weight limit, add more packs to increase the limit. Input the number, value, and weight of each item and it will automatically calculate the total weight and value of those items.
A section for items strapped to the side of your pack, which don't count against the weight limit of the backpack.
A section for items on your person.
The total weight of everything is calculated and presented as a single number, along with an indicator to show what your load level is.
What are some features you would like to see?
I'm wanting to add more stuff, possibly as separate sheets within the same spreadsheet. One for you mount/saddlebags and vehicle, one for pouches, one for bags of holding (and possibly Heward's Handy Haversack), and maybe one for owned property and items left at your home base. I'd kind of like to also do volume calculations, maybe a sort of grid inventory system, but grid inventories aren't RAW and no item volumes are given in the PHB. One thing I should probably include on the front page is worn armor and clothing.
I think at some point I may also do a full character sheet, and perhaps a spellbook as a separate sheet.
