5E Character sheet tutorial?

1418148955

Edited 1418149000
Okay, I'm pretty bad at picking the right forum so hopefully I picked the right one!... But I'll probably get moved....XD ANYWAYS! SO I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to make a video tutorial on making monsters/characters/whatever for the 5E character sheet? I've been plodding away at making a campaign for a while now, and in my messy messy monster creation I thought there must be a better way to do this!(also I may have gotten stuck making stupid Langdedrosa Cyanwrath from the hoard campaign-_-(stupid crap load of attacks and abilities)) I think it would make the GM role a lot more accessible to new GM's and those looking to figure out roll20! If I had ANY clue that my way was the best way I would totally make one..BUT! I'm probably doing it so backwards it's hilarious! Or a bunch of pictures showing completed fields and how they interact with other fields/ what they do(I'm looking at you multi-attack field!)? Thanks for your time^_^

There's a wiki page on the 5e sheet: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/DnD5e_Character_Sheet" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/DnD5e_Character_Sheet</a> For handling monsters, you may also want to look at <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a>
I know the wiki page is there, and super helpful! But this was more a suggestion for supplemental info! Personally I'm more of a visual learner and I did read through most of the wiki but some things I still don't understand. And as much fun as tinkering is, it's nice to be able to do things properly=P And a few 5 minute videos is a lot less daunting for a newbie then a giant wiki page which they will probably skim(&gt;.&gt;) and miss some rather important info!(&gt;.&gt;) and concepts usually click better, for me at least, when I can see someone else use it correctly!
You mean a youtube tutorial for your game?
a youtube tutorial for doing different things in the character sheet, like the crash courses for roll20. Just something to make it more accessible=)

I had thought of doing some additional tutorials for the sheet but I just dont have the time to take that on at the moment i'm afraid. With the NPC section of the sheet really not being anywhere near as good as i'd like it to be (it was rushed out with some basic support), i'd be reluctant to do anything for that section specifically until i'd had a chance to really flesh it out a bit more. This is also why that section isnt on the wiki page either. If anyone else wants to have a go then by all means go ahead
