PC character sheets (examples?)

Noob getting ready to jump head first and GM for friends I have not gamed with in years (can't wait) If this already exists please directly me thank you. Is there a repository for PC Journal Character sheets? (screen shots of examples) Perhaps I'm going at this incorrectly and should NOT be looking to recreate character sheets in roll20... However, building out from my comfort level it would be of immense help to me to be able to have the PCs character sheets in. I would very much like to see screen shots of how others have set up their PC with character sheets. Ideally shots of the character sheets in play view and in Edit mode to see how you set up your tables. Ideally this would be for different systems, particularly in Savage Worlds Deluxe ed. For me seeing character sheets would help me recreate them manually and would help me envision how I would go about introducing my friends to Roll20 Thank you all!

Some things I have noticed on this. It depends on what game system you are playing? Making tables in Roll20 textbox can be wonky, almost risky (you can accidentally delete a cell, column, or row, and it throws off the whole table and you may not be able to "undo" the mistake). If you join support Roll20, and become Mentor level with API access, some people create-implement standardized pre-built character sheets using the API which makes it fast to automatically rebuild tables and such. Stephen made one like this via API for AD&D 2E, if you want a link to see it and can't find it just PM me and I'll show you it. MythWeavers is an external 3rd party website that a lot of people use for character sheets. You can create & store & share sheets on that site, and they have pre-built sheets for some game systems. You would just keep the MW sheets open in additional web browser tabs. But then it can't be referenced in macro/dice commands of Roll20 because it is external. Roll20 has a difference between "Attributes" and "Abilities", read the Wiki and find out the difference before going too far in building it. Hope this helps. I don't know the best way to do it myself, this is just some experience I picked up so far.

In my experience, you're better off keeping an external character sheet - be it Myth-Weavers as Gold points out above, or Google Docs or drop box - rather than trying to keep everything in Roll20 for the sake of having it in Roll20. With Savage Worlds specifically, all you need are a few general macros for the dice and you're set to play.

Thank you I will check out MythWeavers to see if it fits what I'm looking for. My challenge is that my players will be new to Savage World (and not played in a decade), so the less complication introduced the better (in Roll20 would be best). I may very well go David D's rout, and make sure they have paper characters in front of them, and rely on Roll20 for it's strengths. Still it would be nice to just have it in roll20 and make udpates directly to it.

Savage Worlds is pretty straight-forward. We all have character sheets and I (GM) have put together a couple macros so players can roll things easily. Between the macros and the Dice Roller (hint: you want to use the Advaned section and the exploding dice are 'seperate' I believe), Roll20 does what you need. In the future, I'd like to tie wounds and fatigue to the macros, haven't done that yet. Here are the three macros I've done: Trait + Wild Die: /r {1d?{Trait Die|6}!, 1d6!}kh1 + ?{Modifier|0} Melee Damage: /r {1d?{Strength|6}! + 1d?{Weapon Damage Die|6}! + ?{Modifier|0}} Range Damage: /r ?{Number of Dice|2}d?{Die Type|6}! + ?{Modifier|0}
