Improved Handouts / Character Bio & Info Options

January 16 (3 years ago)

It would be exceptionally useful if we could do more with these than dump some basic text into them. Here are a few things that would be exceptionally helpful:

  • The ability to display data from character sheets, such as character stats, etc.
  • The ability to calculate values based on information from the character sheet, akin to an inline roll.
  • Possibly even roll buttons or other character sheet features.
  • The ability to embed content, such as in this suggestion to integrate Google Docs.

You can put hyperlinks in the bio section from sheets to handouts and vice versa to essentially create a wiki within Roll20. No need for google docs.

Making rolls from handouts and the Bio & Info tab has been possible for a while.  You can insert roll commands or ability commands as links in the text.

I'm not talking about links; I'm talking about embedded data/displayed character sheet fields.
