[Help] Multiple Character sheet types in the same campaign

I'm very new to Roll20.  I have a lot of hopes that this will revive my gaming hobby.  I am running into some really basic problems that I have not found a solution to.  The most glaring is that I cannot find a way to use multiple different sheet designs in my campaign.  Example:  I'm using a WoD system.  The players will be Hunters and fight werewolves and vampires and such; it will be possible that these players become a vampire or something else during play..   I'll need to build a plethora of NPCs and will need to track those as well.  These are all different sheets. I saw a post in a thread that was 2 years back that stated that this was not possible, but was being worked on.  Did it get fixed? How do I use multiple sheet types in the game? There is one work-around I am about to try... I'll create a game for each sheet.  Then export them into my journal and then re-export them into a common game... I'll let you know if it works..  Please let me know if there is an easier way to do this.

Hi David, it isn't possible to have than one sheet type active in a game at a time. Bringing another journal entry in based on another sheet will retain all of it's attributes etc but the only ones that will be visible on the 'sheet' are the ones with the same attribute names in the sheets html. The only real solution here would be to have different sheets within the same sheet such as the PC/NPC sections many sheets have. With the right HTML and CSS you could have radio buttons/tabs which allowed the user to choose the sheet they wanted displayed but each sheet would need to have unique attribute names (apart from any universal ones i suppose...) which would affect the amount of work things like roll buttons, global macros etc would take, it's not impossible but it would be a lot of work. This has come up many times with regards to WoD so hopefully someone else can shed more light on alternative courses of action? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

The New World of Darkness Official Sheet "supports both first and second edition mechanics. It also supports World of Darkness, Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, Gheist, Promethean, and Mummy systems." There also a Suggestion for multiple Character Sheet layouts that you may wish to support, here .
