Add an NPC section to a Character Sheet

Does anyone have any tips on how to get this started?  I am trying to do this for a Gamma World 1e that I am working on.  I'd love to have an NPC section where I can add all the monster info and attach it to a token.

Maybe create a PC and an NPC tab...?&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/889704/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/889704/</a> Or maybe toggle the entire sheet PC/NPC&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5679181/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5679181/</a> You can probably use the same attributes between either section, so it should be as simple as copying any needed code to the NPC section and adjust your layout as desired.&nbsp; Devil's advocate; is it even necessary?&nbsp; What do you gain by creating an "NPC" section?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Thanks - I think this is enough to get started. As to why do an NPC section - The system has many different types of NPCs.&nbsp; Sometimes it uses the PC sheet to setup.&nbsp; Other times it has "monsters" with their own unique statblock, and finally it has robots with a third type of statblock.&nbsp; It is further complicated by the fact that certain PC character "classes" or Types are not available to players, RAW.&nbsp;&nbsp; My intention was to toggle the new sheets and Character Types as available to players or not based on the NPC flag. That said, I don't know what I don't know, so what are the benefits of going without this section?&nbsp; How can I add NPCs to the game in a monster manual area in my journal?

I still have my old GW box in the attic, been a lonnnnnng time.&nbsp; ;-) Sounds like the GW sheet would benefit from having a tab for players, and at least one other tab for NPC/Monsters.&nbsp; Especially if the statblock for NPC/Monsters are different than the PC's.&nbsp; I would say create a tabbed layout, share whatever attributes you can, then create new ones that are unique to NPC/monsters.&nbsp; This is nice since you can use the sheet for both PC's and Monsters.&nbsp; Sheet rolls for attacks and abilities and such.&nbsp; Not familiar with the sheet, so I'm not sure what it can/cannot do currently...&nbsp; Otherwise, you could just include your monster's statblock and info in the journal's bio and gm notes and manually refer to them for encounters.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hmmmm...&nbsp; &nbsp;That is what the Metamorphosis Alpha 1e sheet does.&nbsp; I was using that sheet as a template initially, but the CSS is....&nbsp; well, its all based on dynamic columns, so all the tags were number based and not based on descriptive tags, so it was hard to sort out.
