Doug's explanation is spot-on. We found during playtesting that a plurality of players use the "as you go" method and we wanted to accomodate them with the character sheet.
BTW, I do agree with David Dunham that the *ideal* HeroQuest character sheet is a blank sheet of paper, but people do like character sheets!!!
