Character sheet for La Couvée

Hi, I am bit lost about character sheets but I guess that it's because the first game I am trying to play here is an unconventional one (La Couvée by 6napse) which is not listed in the character sheet template list (nor in the game list either). I was learning Roll20 and creating, without a char. sheet template, what would be the first game session when I realised there was also a nice app but that without a char. sheet template I could not use it. (I tried creating a game session anyway because the game is not that hard and we would be a small group of friends). I found an article stating that custom char. sheet are possible in paid version. Is it my only option ? Since I am a total newbie here, am I missing something obvious ? And also, without setting a char. sheet template, is it really impossible to use that part of the app ? In advance, thank you for your time, Azerath P.S. : If it can help, in "La Couvée" the characters have more or less 5 characteristics, some traits, very few equipment and some abilities.

The character sheet tab didn't always exist.  If you create a game and set the character sheet option to "None", then you will just have the Bio & Info tab and the Attributes & Abilities tab.  Originally, that is how all characters were run on Roll20.  You put whatever text you want on the Bio & Info tab (including inventory), of course.  Then you manually create the attributes you want as well as the abilities (macros) that use them on the Attributes & Abilities tab.  From your description, you could probably run your game just fine that way.  I would recommend setting up a "template" character with all the basic attributes and ability macros, and then copying that sheet to use as a base to create PCs and NPCs.
Thank you for this clear answer ! So, in short, we can play just fine without templates by creating copy base tokens. And for the app, too bad, but we will play with the character side of the app another time. Did I understand it properly =)?

You should be able to create and upload any tokens you want to use.  You will be creating a base character that you then copy and alter. That may just be a different way of saying what you meant though, since we may just be using different terminology.
Ok, I think understand the logic.  Thank you very much =)

Hello, If you know HTML/CSS, you can read the wiki to create your own custom character sheet, but it need a pro account to use it.
