Question about Age system character sheet

Hi. Just started working on my first roll20 game using fantasy age as my rule set. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the character sheet doesn't seem to add abilities and focus rolls together to give a total. If that's intended ok, but it would speed up play if it gave a total to quickly compare to a target number. Either way could I get a heads up on if I'm just making a mistake. Thanks

In the age system, don't you compare each die to a target number, then allocate focus individually to dice to see if there's a success? Another thread popped up tonight suggesting this is the way AGE worked. If so, that kind of dice roll isnt possible to handle with roll20 dice rolls. It requires the ability to analyse the value of each die, and roll20 doesnt do that.  Pro players who can write API scripts can do it, but the character sheet - which has to be written for free and Pro players alike - cant.
No the 3d6 is added to the ability and the focus if any. The only one that counts as simi separate  is the stunt die

The issue is there is no way of totalling the 3d6 and separating out the stunt die without the API. Well you could just total the dice [[2d6+1d6]] and then use the mouse over but  no one would like that.

That would be doable then, I;m not sure why its not done that way. There are multiple versions of AGE, and the sheet supports them all, do they all use the same rules?

Thats a good point, I assumed the above description that stunt die was a completely separate die.

I believe that all the age games use essentially the same 3d6 mechanics (not for sure since I haven't read the other 2) but the stunt die is only considered 'different' if doubles are rolled on any dice and the roll is successful.

That's enough complexity to make it impossible for roll20 to handle, as david points out.
Ok. Bummer but thanks anyway. I'll see if I can make it work
