How do I set a character to Whisper Rolls with the 3.5 sheets?

I'm trying to set up a 3.5 game but I can't seem to find a way to set rolls for certain characters to be "Always Whisper to GM" like I can with 5e or Pathfinder, neither on the sheet or in the game options. How do I change it so that all of my rolls are Whispered?

It's a manual process right now, as far as I'm aware. I have a few macros that can assist but without pro it's quite tedious as you have to go into every PC/NPC sheet and add "/w gm" to the start of each roll template. Here's my secret skill check marco, hope that helps you somewhat (add it as a token action): /w gm &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{name=@{selected|character_name} }} {{skillflag=true}} {{subtags=makes a skill check}} {{check=skill check:}} {{checkroll= [[ 1d20 + ?{Skill |Appraise,@{selected|appraise} [Appraise] |Balance,@{selected|balance} [Balance] |Bluff,@{selected|bluff} [Bluff] |Climb,@{selected|climb} [Climb] |Concentration,@{selected|concentration} [Concentration] |Craft 1 - @{selected|craft1name},@{selected|craft1} [Craft - @{selected|craft1name}] |Decipher Script,@{selected|decipherscript} [Decipher Script] |Diplomacy,@{selected|diplomacy} [Diplomacy] |Disable Device,@{selected|disabledevice} [Disable Device] |Disguise,@{selected|disguise} [Disguise] |Escape Artist,@{selected|escapeartist} [EscapeArtist] |Forgery,@{selected|forgery} [Forgery] |Gather Information,@{selected|gatherinformation} [Gather Information] |Handle Animal,@{selected|handleanimal} [Handle Animal] |Heal,@{selected|heal} [Heal] |Hide,@{selected|hide} [Hide] |Intimidate,@{selected|intimidate} [Intimidate] |Jump,@{selected|jump} [Jump] |Knowledge (Arcana) [ranks = @{selected|knowarcanaranks}],@{selected|knowarcana} [Knowledge (Arcana)] |Knowledge (Engineer) [ranks = @{selected|knowengineerranks}],@{selected|knowengineer} [Knowledge (Engineer)] |Knowledge (Dungeon) [ranks = @{selected|knowdungeonranks}],@{selected|knowdungeon} [Knowledge (Dungeon)] |Knowledge (Geography) [ranks = @{selected|knowgeographyranks}],@{selected|knowgeography} [Knowledge (Geography)] |Knowledge (History) [ranks = @{selected|knowhistoryranks}],@{selected|knowhistory} [Knowledge (History)] |Knowledge (Local) [ranks = @{selected|knowlocalranks}],@{selected|knowlocal} [Knowledge (Local)] |Knowledge (Nature) [ranks = @{selected|knownatureranks}],@{selected|knownature} [Knowledge (Nature)] |Knowledge (Nobility) [ranks = @{selected|knownobilityranks}],@{selected|knownobility} [Knowledge (Nobility)] |Knowledge (Religion) [ranks = @{selected|knowreligionranks}],@{selected|knowreligion} [Knowledge (Reglion)] |Knowledge (The Planes) [ranks = @{selected|knowplanesranks}],@{selected|knowplanes} [Knowledge (Planes)] |Listen,@{selected|listen} [Listen] |Move Silently,@{selected|movesilent} [Move Silently] |Open Lock,@{selected|openlock} [Open Lock] |Perform 1 - @{selected|perform1name},@{selected|perform1} [Craft - @{selected|perform1name}] |Profession 1 - @{selected|profession1name},@{selected|profession1} [Craft - @{selected|profession1name}] |Ride,@{selected|ride} [Ride] |Search,@{selected|search} [Search] |Sense Motive,@{selected|sensemotive} [Sense Motive] |Sleight of Hand,@{selected|sleightofhand} [Sleight of Hand] |Spellcraft,@{selected|spellcraft} [Spellcraft] |Spot,@{selected|spot} [Spot] |Survival,@{selected|survival} [Survival] |Swim,@{selected|swim} [Swim] |Tumble,@{selected|tumble} [Tumble] |Use Magic Device,@{selected|usemagicdevice} [Use Magic Device] |Use Rope,@{selected|userope} [Use Rope] } ]] }} You can do the same with a save macro: /w gm &{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{name=@{selected|character_name}}} {{saveflag=true}} ?{What save? |Fortitude,{{subtags=braces against the attack}} {{check=Fortitude check:}} {{checkroll=[[1d20 + [[@{selected|fortitude}]] [Fort Bonus] ]]}} {{notes=@{selected|fortitudenote} }} |Reflex,{{subtags=attempts to dodge}} {{check=Reflex check:}} {{checkroll=[[1d20 + [[@{selected|reflex}]] [Ref Bonus] ]]}} {{notes=@{selected|reflexnote} }} |Will,{{subtags=tries to resist}} {{check=Will check:}} {{checkroll=[[1d20 + [[@{selected|will}]] [Will Bonus] ]]}} {{notes=@{selected|willnote} }} }
I do not have Pro, so I think I'm going to have to edit the roll templates directly. It seems I can duplicate a "fixed" sheet to make new characters so I don't have to do all that work over and over.
I don't usually use the latest 3.5 sheet, but looking at it, it appears there is a box asking if you want the roll whispered or not.

Erich S. said: I don't usually use the latest 3.5 sheet, but looking at it, it appears there is a box asking if you want the roll whispered or not. That's correct. But you have to go through every single skill, one at a time . I believe the OP was looking for a more generic setting (ideally at the character sheet level) or a less manually-intensive solution. Their suggestion was to do it once and then take a copy of that character sheet and re-use it for other characters, which seems a fairly decent workaround. If you compare this to the 5E by Roll20 character sheet, there is a single sheet-level setting to control this functionality.
There's another issue I've hit. There doesn't seem to be an option to Whisper attack rolls, so I added "/w gm" in front of the attack formulae, BUT that just makes the attack rolls straight up not happen. I click the roll button, it asks if there's a Flanking bonus or additional damage, I answer, and then it gives no results. If I delete "/w gm" then it rolls fine, but it's not Whispered. EDIT: Ah, figured it out. I need to add "/w gm" to the last 4 boxes among the 7 formulae boxes for an attack, but leave the first 3 blank. Thanks to everyone who helped, and here's hoping for an improved 3.5 sheet in the future.

Could you post the code the attack is using?

Could you post the code the attack is using? I was using this for Single Attack: /w gm 1d20cs>@{weapon1critmin} + @{bab}[BAB] + @{epicattackbonus}[Epic AB] + @{weapon1stat}[Ability] + @{size}[size] + @{weapon1enh}[Weapon Enh] + @{weapon1focus}[Weapon Focus] + @{globalAttackBonus}[Global bonus] + ?{Flank |No, 0|Yes, 2}[Flank] + ?{Additional Attack Bonus?|0}[Ad'l Atk Bon] But I figured out I was putting stuff in the wrong box. Thanks for trying to help anyway

That isn't a roll, it is a whispered text.  To make it into a roll put it in inline brackets: /w gm [[1d20cs>@{weapon1critmin} + @{bab}[BAB] + @{epicattackbonus}[Epic AB] + @{weapon1stat}[Ability] + @{size}[size] + @{weapon1enh}[Weapon Enh] + @{weapon1focus}[Weapon Focus] + @{globalAttackBonus}[Global bonus] + ?{Flank |No, 0|Yes, 2}[Flank] + ?{Additional Attack Bonus?|0}[Ad'l Atk Bon]]] Although if it was in the wrong box the box itself probably does all that. So, hope it works for you now :)
