Hi guys,
I am currently hosting an Aborea game with my group on roll20. I was looking into the Wiki https://wiki.roll20.net/Aborea_Character_Sheet and realized that a lot seemed to be changed (e.g. I cannot select an enemy token to be attacked). I am quite confused and lost and wonder if there is any more recent version, a youtube guide or anybody who can explain how especially combat works currently.
Thanks in advance!
The wiki post refers to the old character bogne that is no longer available. This was created for Rolemaster and Aborea and had some problems.
Until now I didn't even know that there was a wiki entry for the Aborea character sheet.
Combat is very simple, you click on the attack roll for the weapon and then calculate it manually.

Ok, thank you. However, i didn't figure out yet how Armour (Rüstung) and its modifier are treaten:
If there is a bonus for dwarves I can add a 1, but what is the difference to simply add it to the existant 6? The game then also displays 7/6 armour in the armour bar of the token and shows a little white plus symbol.
The value "Gl. Modifier", I also couldn't match to the rules.
The armor modifier is the malus an armor gives, e.g. the knight armor gives a malus of -4 on certain actions, these -4 are entered in the field "Modifier".
The Gl. modifier is a global modifier e.g. the -8 when you are blinded.
a hint:
I don't check the forum every day and I don't search directly for posts of the character sheets I have created. Therefore it would be nice if problems or similar would be posted on Github: https://github.com/Tealk/roll20-character-sheets/issues

So should the wiki page be deleted to avoid future confusion, or updated for info on the current(?) sheet?

i never bothered with the wiki except for the information i needed to create the sheets.
I do not know if there are specific procedures for this
It's a community wiki, there are no procedures. I'm asking for your opinion on what would make sense, as you seem the know about this sheet and it's versions. seem to be the author of the new sheet. Ok, I'll remove the content of the old page for now.
I tried to pick the current Aborea sheet from the menu but it seems to be broken.

i have never dealt with wikis before, before i can enter anything there i first have to familiarize myself with the way it works

i am currently using it in 3 rounds and i have not found any problems so far
Updated the page to be accurate and have relevant links: https://wiki.roll20.net/Aborea_Character_Sheet
I wasn't asking you to do it, I just asked your opinion on what the sensible steps would be. But figured it out from context, rather than waste time on trivial back-and-forth.
You can update the wiki page as you want, help on how wiki stuff are written can be found on https://wiki.roll20.net/Help:Contents if you want to be fancy.
EDIT: the description & preview image doesnt show up for the sheet, but the dropdown works otherwise. Roll20 should probably fix that.
Thank you for the explanations Tealk and for your work on the Aborea sheet! Great to have that available for our P&P :)
Thank you for updating the Wiki with the recent links Andreas. I think anybody new to this will appreciate any guidance available :)
If I can help somehow here, let me know (I can at least translate German/English).
I didn't find any specific bugs, however we had the issue that values were not saved in the sheet after closing (not reproducable) and that the sheet popup doesn't work anymore if you open those up multiple times (reproducable). I can post that on github as well if you like, but I don't know it thats a sheet bug or an roll20 bug, as I am not familiar with other systems.
Another question from my side: Is there a way to refer to the makros in the character sheet to create a token action? (e.g. roll on the Goblin's dagger attack? Right now I always have to open the character sheet (which crashed then after a while) or move all the makros to my bar. I think in the old wiki there was something described, but I didn't get it working for me.

since the rulebook is only available in german, i had not planned any translations yet

this would certainly be more a case for roll20 even though i have never had the former
the second one was mentioned once by a player but i never checked it because i never use the bows like that

in roll20 you can call all fields of a character sheet at any time by using @fieldname
if you want to have something special we can talk privately and i can create an example for you
Can then sooner or later also in the wiki

If the roll button has a name, it can probably be referenced with %{rollname} in a token action, or %{target|rollname} or %{selected|rollname} if typed into the chat or a general macro.
If you want to reference an value on the sheet, it's the @{attrname} thing Tealk said.
https://wiki.roll20.net/Macro_Guide have more info on this stuff in general.
