Glad to hear you're finding things working well, for the most part.

What are the spells you were bringing back for the Illusionist?

If I understand your thoughts at the end, you're looking at group threads adding to Durability rating? As in a Wizard with a Rank 3 group thread tied to his Durability has Durability 6?

I think I like that.

Like, a complex, self-calculating character-sheet sort of thing?

Yeah. It's nowhere near the level of HeroForge, and it lacks a save/load function, so when I release a new version of the sheet, it's a PITA to copy over. But it does a lot of math for a player.

Interesting. I'd certainly like to take a look.

I have a rather complex Excel character sheet that worked for earlier editions (before the advance Discipline mechanic was introduced). It tracked Legend point spending, derived all the relevant characteristics, allowed for a second Discipline, and had several pages formatted to print a character sheet with all the relevant details associated with the character's talents (and spells for casters).

I don't remember where I picked it up, but I used it in a "Classic" campaign to track the PCs. Each character got their own sheet.

In the past I've talked about how I've used Excel as a loose campaign tracking sheet. It has one page devoted to the PCs, and then subsequent pages are time-tracking. Each row is a day from the Throalic calendar, and each PC gets a column. During downtime I mark what each character does (based loosely on the old Earthdawn Downtime System brewed up by James Sutton back in the ED1 days).

That sheet doesn't add stuff up or track anything more than "On X day, the Swordmaster raised Melee Weapons from 4 to 5." But it did help keep some things organized.

We also have a shared Google Doc that keeps track of things like people's dietary restrictions, past and planned attendance, in-game dates, Legend Totals, and house rules. There's even currently a sheet that the players are using to try and come up with a good GTP Name.
