5e Character Sheets

For my next campaign, I figured I give d&d 5e a shot, and was wondering which character sheet is best suited for me.  I come from playing Pathfinder and using its community sheet.  Two features of that sheet that I like are: 1. its ability to add buffs that can be activated and deactivated ; 2. the ability to edit the macros of attacks and spells on the sheet itself. Do either of these things exist on any of the 5e sheets?

Shaped is probably the one for you.  It's better with the API script, but still pretty great without it.  It certainly fulfills 1), and probably fulfills 2) depending on what you mean.

Both sheets allow you to do these things. Roll20 OGL is developed by Roll20 itself, and will allow you to use the Charactermancer, and nearly always have more up-to-date integration with the Compendium, since they are developed together. More campaigns use this sheet, if your goal is to find players/gms. Shaped is developed by a community user (Kryx), and is more powerful in terms of automation and customization. It also features a robust set of sheet macros to save having to open a sheet mid-game. Both sheets have far more features than I am listing here. I myself prefer Shaped, but I like to tinker a lot. Neither one is a wrong choice.
Thanks for the suggestions. I followed up by looking at a guide to using the Shaped Sheet and am starting to find where to utilize these features, as they were not apparent at first.

Excellent. It's a pretty complex sheet. I'm not sure which guide you are using, but just in case, the wiki is here . And if you run into any bugs, report them here , not the Roll20 thread, which is more for "how do I..." questions. Both those links are at the bottom of every character sheet.
