Custom character sheet - how much work is it?

Hello, I'm tempted to upgrade to Pro membership level for the ability to create custom character sheets. My game is World of Darkness, and I want to create a special sheet for Ghosts and Spirits. According to what I learned from the Wiki, there is only one character sheet per game, so the WoD sheet is actually one sheet with different appearances according to the template you play (Human, Vampire, etc). The feat would be to extend the existing sheet with a new variant. I have some coding experience, but not really in html. My questions:  - With the pro membership, will I be able to copy and extend the existing WoD Character sheet? If this is not possible, the idea won't work anyway.  - For people who know the WoD character sheet code: How much effort would it be to add a Ghost/Spirit sheet? Thanks for any insights.

For the first question, yes, you will be able to do that. For the second question: I'm not familiar with the sheet, but if it's a fairly small change and you know html/css, it might take just a few hours. But if its a decent sized change, and you aren't too familiar with roll20, especially the way things work on roll20, it could take you many weeks of frustrating struggling. If you jump in, make sure you come to the forums when you get stuck. It'll make things go much easier.

1) Yes, this will work. 2) Considering most of WoD uses the same system for almost every splat book, the coding should be easy if you know what to look for.  The skills and attributes will stay the same and only the special abilities need to change.  Figuring out what all that code means took me a while, so...depends on how well you grasp things.  I am not the person to compare to when picking up new information, as all of keyboards end up with forehead shaped indentions in them. I have made a couple WoD sheets (not nearly as cool as the Roll20 one) so if you got some questions, feel free to send me a private message.

Back when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I create a Roll20 sheet for what was back the Alpha version for Vampires 5E, and the Changeling 20th Eddition(?), based on some of the other WoD sheet. So what you're aiming for is in the very achievable end, where you start from a sheet code that is close, and then make the changes on Skills/Ablilities/etc that differs, while the layout and main structures are likely fairly similar.

Thanks for the answers and the support. Then I think I'm gonna do it.

One additional question. Can I publish the finished sheets? Or at least, let a friend use it in their games if they have no or only plus membership? Or do I have to be the owner of all games where the sheet is used?

If the sheet is for a game that doesnt have a sheet, you can publish it on the github, as long as you follow the design rules (check the Building Character Sheets page on the wiki. The big no no is using html tables for layout.) If the sheet is for a game that already has a sheet, you can sometimes get it accepted anyway, but you might have to make a case for what it offers, over the existing sheet.  If you cant get your sheet accepted at github, then you can give the code to others to manually install. But any GM who wants to use it will have to enable Pro subscription for at least one month. They need to be Pro to install a custom sheet. But once you've installed a sheet, you can keep using it when you are no longer Pro, so the person installing it only needs to go Pro for 1 month. A one-time $10 cost.
