Hi PakhomCh, welcome to Roll20. Sheets on roll20 are basically created from scratch using html, css, and javascript(with some roll20 restrictions/limitations).&nbsp; You can learn about the details on roll20's wiki: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Sheet_Structure" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS#Sheet_Structure</a> &nbsp; Also, you'll need to have a pro level subscription to use custom character sheets.&nbsp; Basic sheets can be created with very little coding pedigree.&nbsp; More complexity requires more skill. Many people start by editing/customizing an existing sheet before trying to create one from scratch.&nbsp; Ask questions on the forums as you progress.&nbsp; Goodluck.

If the system is not terribly complicated, some folks just do what you had to do before graphical character sheets were introduced to Roll20: use the Attributes and Abilities tab.

I suggest you do as Keith suggests to start with. I ran 13th Age that way in 2014 before Character Sheets came along.&nbsp;

Keith and Andrew did not mention (but Vince did) it but it should be mentioned that creating a graphical character sheet such as what you see in games commonly requires that person to be a pro subscriber while actually creating (designing/coding) the sheet. I did what Andrew did for a long time then when I decided to create a sheet I found a sheet that looked and functioned close to the system I was using. I used it as a basis for a custom sheet as I took it apart and changed things.

Pat makes a good point, and it is exactly how I earned the Sheet Author badge myself, "forking" the Dragon Age sheet into a Fantasy Age sheet, now obsoleted. Another thing to consider is posting a request in the pinned Character Sheet Requests Q3 2021&nbsp; post at the top of this forum. I suspect there will be a Q4 2021 post along sooner or later. Or a 2022 post.&nbsp;
