character sheet creation

so before i decide to upgrade my account to the highest level i need to know a little more about the character sheet creation. the character sheet creation is the only real reason i might upgrade. i have a good sheet designed to cover most situations designed for 3.5 dungeons & dragons. what i want to know is can i upload the pdf and just have the character sheet made to look similar? also if i create my own character sheet do i have to program the math into the character sheet like constitution modifier added to the fort save? i am a bit lazy and don't want to make the sheet's math programmed in. just kind of want the fields to already do the thing

No, there is no way to automatically convert a pdf sheet to a roll20 sheet. You will have to built it completely from scratch using HTML and CSS, and probably JavaScript (especially if you want any kind of automation on the sheet). There is already a 3.5 D&D sheet - you best bet would be to use that one.

You need to be pro level to add a custom sheet to your game if you want to modify one for your own particular needs. Let me know if you need any more info.
@GiGs thanks for the info i was kind of not wanting to do the css or java or html thats why i was hoping i could just use the one i have. i know there is a 3.5 sheet i use them all the time as i mostly play 3.5 especially online. @Erich S thanks for the sheet im looking through all the features you have put effort into and i am liking these. some of the suggestions are nice as well is there a way to upload the pdf to the forums so others can see the sheet?if so i can upload the sheet and then you can see if there's anything you missed or wanted to add thank you for the effort
Hello Techpriest: just to be clear, that is not my work but the work of Hoyer on top of the sheet made by Diana P.&nbsp; I just took that and modded it for my own use as a custom sheet. But that is not my work.&nbsp; Hoyer (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/3363117/hoyer" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/3363117/hoyer</a>) is the maintainer of that sheet here on Roll20. He deserves the credit for that sheet. techpriest35 said: @GiGs thanks for the info i was kind of not wanting to do the css or java or html thats why i was hoping i could just use the one i have. i know there is a 3.5 sheet i use them all the time as i mostly play 3.5 especially online. @Erich S thanks for the sheet im looking through all the features you have put effort into and i am liking these. some of the suggestions are nice as well is there a way to upload the pdf to the forums so others can see the sheet?if so i can upload the sheet and then you can see if there's anything you missed or wanted to add thank you for the effort
i noticed when i was reading through the forum that it was hoyer's work. it has most of what i want but was missing a few minor things and the critical is still broken and variable damage is still not applying we will see if any responses are had from his new forum as he is updating the sheet again( he posted a new forum for updates yesterday)
