You could obfuscate it a little, with a list like this: None(0%), minimal(0.1%-12.5%), low(12.5%-25%), moderate(25%-50%), high(50%-75%), "A lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandpa"(75%-100%)
Having satellite internet is a lot like relying on the processes described in those RFC's for your internet. Except, instead of needing to worry about statues interrupting your connection, this time you worry about the weather. I have satellite internet. Fun, no?

I don't know about the obfuscation. You can already check/remember from spacetime tuning, and I don't like being told less precise information than my character knows. It should either be obfuscated in both spacetime tuning and the mouseover, or neither.

A field that shows current regen rates for anything you can meaningfully regen would be nice, along with a field that shows just how buffed/debuffed your healing rates are. It might take up a lot of screen estate with a multitalented regening character, but it seems like something you'd be able to find easily.

The things I think should be included in the character sheet:

Name
Race
Class
Gender
Health
Resources
Real Stats [Effective Stats]
All Speeds
All Effects [Sustains, Temporary Positive, Temporary Negative]
Expected Damage From Melee/Shooting [Equipped/Non Equipped Sensitive]
Regeneration Rates
Size Category
All Saves
All Resistances
All Bonus Damage
Armor, Defense, Hardiness, Ranged Defense
Light Radius, Vision, Infravision Radius [if applicable]
Stealth, Invisible, See Invisible Power [if applicable]
Telepathy Range [if applicable]
Days Adventuring [and real time play if playing online]
Lives Left
Death Count
Most Killed NPC
Critical Hit Chance
Critical Damage Modifier
APR
Physical Damage
Spell Power
Mind Power
Fatigue

Tool Tips
Source [show what is effecting this and by how much]
Race [summary of every passive effect it grants]
Effects [explaining what they are doing to you]
Speeds [telling you how much of an effect this speed is having on your vs base speed]
Size Category [explaining what this is and how it affects game play]
Saves [how they function and how good yours are]
Resistances [explaining how these function and the caps]
Bonus Damage [explaining how these function]
Armor, Defense, Hardiness, Ranged Defense [explaining what these are, how they interact and how good your’s are]
Vision, Infravision [explain how these interact]
Stealth, Invisibility Power/See through[explain how these work in relation to each other]
Spell Power, Mind Power [explain what these effect and how they function]
Fatigue [what it effects]

Secondary Suggestions
Make Character Sheet Tool Tips Click Sensitive [You have to hover and click to activate the tool tip]
Either a secondary screen display [like classic RLs] or full screen panel with tabs for various things [not recommended]

Non Related Suggestion
Can we maybe have in the Lore or somewhere like that the unique/boss/elite boss npcs we’ve killed?

the new character sheet in 26 is great. Another thing I would like added is the reduced chance you have to be hit by a critical hit. several talents do this for you.

Make the character screen navigable by the keyboard, I can select the different tabs, but not go to them.

lukep, I had the same problem. It turns out that you have to hit space to select a new tab. I don't think this is mentioned anywhere, and it's certainly not obvious. The enter key should certainly work as well as space. Hint, hint, Darkgod.

How about putting all buffs and debuffs and their effects in character screen? For now they are running out of their panel, if more than ~7. They could be seen by hovering mouse over the char in main window, but their effects can't be seen that way. Also inventory effects, and complete cumulative panels would be good too
