Creating a community sheet

Closed My first question is do I have to be a mentor to create or modify a community sheet for the community's benefit? According to the wiki I know I cannot create a personal/home-brew sheet, but it does not say that I cannot create a new one for the community or modify one from the community for community use. I have been attempting to improve the Palladium Megaverse sheet, I know the system inside and out. But I have been unable to duplicate its functionality as it appears within the tabletop of Roll20 in my own systems. Can this be done, or do I require mentor for the editor? How?

Actually there is a git repository at <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets</a> and all changes you can get accepted into there will be in the official community sheets as far as i understood it - i have no idea what other rules might apply. To "use" a custom sheet you require mentorship.

@Kevin I am familiar with the repository, that is where I pulled the Palladium megaverse sheet from. So even if I spruce up the Palladium megaverse sheet I still have to be a mentor for it to be useable by all?

...you can make a sheet and submit it to github, without the mentor status. You would have a very difficult time checking your work without some kind of display program with all the Roll20 defaults. All in all, while possible, it would cost more than $10 in time & effort to do. To use a custom sheet- one on for your campaign and only your campaign, requires a mentor program. Its also the best way I have found to make a sheet.

Thank you Coal Powered Puppet for your response and sorry for my slow follow up question. I would love to use a personal sheet for my house rules, in time. However, I would love to make the current one more user-friendly. And only then, modify to my personal house rules as a mentor subscriber. I get an impression from what I read in Coal Powered Puppet's post that there maybe away to create a page and see it with these Roll20 defaults. I am interested in knowing, what do I have to implement to get the same presentation?

If you want to test your autocalc fields or make your repeating sections actually repeat, you'll need to write your own JavaScript for that. Also remember that all of your selectors in your CSS file will be prepended with ".charsheet" if it's not already present (which practically speaking just means you can't style anything that isn't on the sheet), and all CSS classes which appear in your HTML will be prepended with "sheet-" if it's not already there (meaning you must have "sheet-" in your CSS file). Finally, here's a skeleton HTML body to make sure the content of your sheet is nested properly in the parent containers it'll see on the actual tabletop (I believe this is the correct code, it's been a while since I pulled it): &lt;div class="ui-dialog ui-widget-content ui-corner-all"&gt; &lt;div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-helper-clearfix"&gt; &lt;span class="ui-dialog-title"&gt;Custom Character Sheet&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="ui-dialog-content"&gt; &lt;form class="sheetform"&gt; &lt;div id="charsheet" class="charsheet"&gt; &lt;!-- PLACE CHARACTER SHEET HTML HERE --&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

Thank you very much Brian. Closed
