Player defined character sheets?

So one of my favorite things about MapTools is that as a player I can do basically whatever I want with my character token/sheet. There are some minor limitations, like common prop/vars that need to exist defined by the GM, but nothing is actually stopping me from adding more and using them however I please in a GUI of my design. Roll20 has the option to create custom character sheets, but everyone in a campaign has to use the same one. Which is kind of frustrating, especially if your campaign has homebrew stuff that isn't necessarily supported by the character sheet or if the character sheet is frequently pushed in a broken/buggy state (I'm looking at you Pathfinder). Is there any chance something like this would be supported in the nearby future?

Oh, that hurts Dee Are.  ;-P No hate mate, I get that you're doing this without pay as a hobby thing, but the amount of times I've gotten into a game, tried to run a sheet macro, saw a zero as a result, hit the recalculate button, tried to run the macro again, and saw a zero again is more than once or twice. The amount of people from completely separate nerd herds that also warned me about these issues kind of factors into a confirmation bias, but still.

No hate taken.  The PF sheet has been a 3+ year never-ending quest by everyone involved.  Most bugs have been ironed out by this point (we do introduce an occasional bug or three while adding features... apologies for any of that.)  Please test out the sheet occasionally and let us know of any issues or suggestions you may have. What sheet are you currently using and have you tried the  PF Cazra sheet ? BTW: I like your idea of allowing players to have more control over customizing their particular sheet.  I suppose some of that can be handled using the bio and attributes and abilities tab.  Similar to how characters were handled on roll20 in the pre-character sheet era. Sorry, I really didn't mean to hi-jack this thread. ;-(

Or how some of us still do it You kids and your fancy 'character sheets'.  :wink: Seriously, just use the attributes & abilities tab for your... er... attributes and abilities.  Completely freeform!
We're using the "official" roll20 PF sheets. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to use alternative character sheets since that's kind of decided by the GM at the start of the campaign, and remaking all the tokens is rarely a welcome prospect. Which is why it would be nice if players had the ability to decide on their own character sheet template.
