Community Forums: Weird problem with 5e Character Sheet

1436556816

I wanted to place macros as %{selected|Charisma_Save} and so on, so I can use on all NPC's. However, when I roll from the macro, the formula seems to be different, and the results are always -5 of what they should be. When I roll from the sheet itself, the problem doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?

Is the NPC sheet stats configured? Also the roll for the NPC sheet is %{selected|NPC_Charisma_Save}. I am guessing that you are rolling the PC version which doesn't have the stats configured or vice versa.

Using the NPC tab of the sheet the npc actions are differentely named attributes. I believe they are %{selected|npc_Charisma_Save}

On the default sheet they are different. On the shaped sheet they are the same.

This took me a bit to figure out. What is the value of having them different? I'm sure it was an intentional design decision and I'm just too new to understand the nuance.

I have them the same on the Shaped sheet so that they are more consistent and easier to access. The default sheet had npc sheets as a secondary thought and it was hard to make some calculated fields work on both sheets. The original author has said as much.
