Besides, I'm just curious what they looked like. I do have quite a bit of hard and soft cover 2nd edition AD&D material, but none of the original character sheets are included in what I have. Oh well..."Come on, everyone, do the Black Mage. Especially you White Mage!" - 8bit Theater

WotC AD&D downloads
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads for AD&D downloads fully approved by WotC. An NPC charsheet is listed along with some Birthright stuff.

Yes. Copyrighted works enter the public domain 95 years after publication.
You`re not asking for Birthright material anyway, you`re asking for
general AD&D material. You might have better luck asking at a forum
dedicated to older versions of D&D, like dragonsfoot.
Actually, they have character sheets posted there that might work for you:

Copyright law is as convoluted as any badly written rules any of us have every run across. Anyone who has had personal experience with it (voluntarily or no), will tell you that there are many "if's" and "but's" and exceptions, and that once lawyers get hold of it, the grey area is far greater than the black and white.
Unless it's completely trivial, don't make assumptions- and don't believe anyone but a paid lawyer. (Anyone who's not "paid" to be your lawyer, is just playing one.)

Look around on other boards- and good luck. (You might need it!)Last edited by Cuchulainshound; 09-05-2006 at 07:14 PM.
