All character sheets double the number of dice they roll.

When I play with the Call of Cathulhu character sheet from roll20 or the Conan character sheet, you roll twice as many dice on all rolls. In the case of 5th there is a setting so that this does not happen. But I haven't found it in these games. I'm talking about these two games in particular but with Warhammer it's the same with what I think is systemic. Is there a setting that I don't know of that fixes this?

Do you mean the 3d dice? That is an artifact of how roll templates handle things like criticals. It's unfortunately unavoidable.

Thanks Scott. Yes, I mean the 3D dice. In chat it's fine, but on the screen it's twice as many dice. But, in 5th edition, you can change this behaviour.  Is it only fixed in D&D 5th edition?
Incidentally, I would say that on the One Ring second edition page it doesn't happen. You roll the correct number of 3D dice. You do NOT roll the double

It has to do with the mechanics of the game, so it won't be this way for all sheets.  The Pathfinder by Roll20 sheet is a good example of this behavior (that I am a familiar with).  In the Pathfinder system, a roll that is in the critical range isn't an automatic critical.  You need to roll another attack roll, and if it is high enough to succeed in hitting, then that second roll "confirms" the critical.  Both of those rolls are made every time you make an attack from that sheet.  The 3D dice show both rolls, because they are both being made within the dice roller.  Chat doesn't show both dice unless the first roll is a critical threat, because the roll template is using a css rule to hide the confirm roll unless it is needed. Basically, the 3D dice are showing all rolls that are actually being made.  Chat may not show them all due to the roll templates hiding some of the rolls.  Not all systems have mechanics like that, so this won't happen with all sheets.
Thanks Kraynic 
It is very curious that in the version of the basic Conan 2d20 character sheet, the double dice roll does not happen. For Conan 2d20 there are 2:  * Conan  * Conan: Adventures in... In the first and most basic one it doesn't happen. Thanks to everyone.  :D I wanted to play this game and the truth is that with a good working 3D dice it is much more fun. Best regards

Hello! I have found the solution. As Kraynic has said , the executions depend on the mechanics and the implementation in code. When the Athletics button is clicked for example the following script is executed: &{template:skill} {{skill_name=Acrobatics}} {{character_name=@{character_name}}} {{successes1=[[?{Dice|2}d20cs<@{Acrobatics_Focus}cf20<@{Acrobatics_TN}]]}}{{successes2=[[?{Dice|2}d20cs<@{Acrobatics_Focus}cf>19<@{Acrobatics_TN}]]}}{{num_dice=[[?{Dice}]]}} {{target_number=@{Acrobatics_TN}}}{{wounds_chk=[[@{wounds}]]}}{{wounds=@{wounds}}}{{wounds_treated=@{wounds_treated}}}{{encumbered=[[@{checkbox-encumbered}]]}}{{api_chk=[[@{use_api}]]}}{{show_tn=1}}{{bk_nbr=[[@{bk_nbr}]]}}{{expertise_chk=[[@{Acrobatics_Expertise}]]}}{{expertise=@{Acrobatics_Expertise}}} If I run the following script it works fine. Maybe I left something out but I think it works (I don't know what cf20< does). I have removed the successes1 statement &{template:skill} {{skill_name=Athletics}} {{character_name=@{character_name}}} {{{successes2=[[?{Dice|2}d20cs<@{Athletics_Focus}cf>19<@{Athletics_TN}]]}} {{num_dice=[[?{Dice}]]}} {{target_number=@{Athletics_TN}}}{{wounds_chk=[[@{wounds}]]}}{{wounds=@{wounds}}}{{wounds_treated=@{wounds_treated}}}{{encumbered=[[@{checkbox-encumbered}]]}}{{api_chk=[[@{use_api}]]}}{{show_tn=1}}{{bk_nbr=[[@{bk_nbr}]]}}{{expertise_chk=[[@{Athletics_Expertise}]]}}{{expertise=@{Athletics_Expertise}}} I have tested it with the crhome development tools. I am backend developer and frontend I am not an expert but, can I overwrite the code of the page for my particular purposes? and how do I do it?
