D&D 5E (2024) Character Sheet & Builder by Roll20

Rick A. said: Besides the dark mode/light mode issue, there is also a concern about using color to distinguish between statuses or to bring attention to items: red/green is the most common form of color blindness (1 in 12 biological males; 1 in 200 biological females). My wife, for instance, cannot at all see red text or symbols on a black background. When using color to denote a status or to highlight something, a symbol or outline in a contrasting color (black on light, or white on dark) should be included. This is something we're very aware of, and if there's anywhere where we fail in that goal I'd like to know so we can fix it. For example, critical successes and failures have text to identify them. Proficiency icons (half proficient/proficient/expertise) have contrast and shape changes instead of colors. Advantage/disadvantage icons are shaped differently. Damage and healing rolls are identified with icons. "Don't use color alone to identify something" is a common mantra in our design process.

Master Azroth said: Two things, one there is a formatting error on healing spells Second is there a way that Ritual spells can be added to the list without needing to preparing them but still have a way to denote that you can only cast it as a ritual if you didn't prepare it as a spell? Thanks for the healing report! This is already on our list, but it's a bit low down because it's just a visual misalignment. Right now, preparing a spell or marking it as "always prepared" are the only two ways to get a spell to show on the sheet, but our next-up feature is an improved view for spells that will give you more options to view spells in different ways. Noodle said: Impromptu Saturday session feedback notes: - Same healing spell formatting error as above. - Every 15~ minutes, my Bard player's token would become unclickable in the center, but still clickable around the edges, for both him and I. Deleting and dragging the token back out fixed it, and so did reloading, but reloading was only client-side so when he reloaded I still wasn't able to click the middle of his token but he was. It didn't happen to anyone else, or any NPCs, but constantly to him. - It's very annoying that in Stat Block View for NPCs, you can't roll initiative and can only click the average (e.g for a Bandit it's 11). Not sure if this is intended or a bug, but I still keep having to switch between Compact and Stat Block just to make these sheets usable. Rolling Dex isn't much of an option either as it doesn't automatically add the token to the turn tracker like Initiative does. - When using List View on a PC's Spell tab, there are no chat bubbles on the spells to post them to chat. My players hate having to switch away from List View (which they all use and massively prefer), so it would be great to have that chat bubble present on there. 1. Noted above 2. Noted, although I don't think this is a sheet-specific issue, sounds like more of a VTT/possibly Jumpgate issue. I'll make sure to pass it on to the right team. 3. This should not be the case at all, and I'm not able to replicate it - it's rolling fine when I click the +X bonus. I'll keep an eye out to see if I see this going forward, though, there might be some kind of source that we don't know about yet that's causing some not to work. 4. Noted! I'll keep this in mind in our upcoming spell work. Jeremy K.  said: Thank you for the response and sorry for the delay.  Looking at the settings, it looks like created the game with 2024 sheets and added the 2014 sheets and set that as default for NPCs and players as ask every time.  Should I create the game as 2014 and add the 2024? Hm, I suspect this might be a weird interaction with creating the game as a 2024 game, but the NPCs only have 2014 data. I think your hunch is right and if you did it the other way around, it would work. Georges K. said: So the following issues happened with my players: The lvl 2 Warlock doesn't have the spell slot counter and the Bard/Fighter ability score was initially changed to a +10 bonus and then immediately after, to 0, he also lost the last level up he did.  I'm not able to replicate the first one, but both sounds like it could be override-with-sheet-open-in-two-places issues. Could you submit a ticket with more details of exactly what steps were taken (by both people who had the sheet open if applicable) and what the end result was so we can dig into the issue further? Bigfoot  said: I've got no idea if this has been said in here already, if it's already being addressed.  But a problem I've noticed time and time again while going over the 2024 sheets is, not only that it lags a fair bit. (I have everything optimized, roll20 doesn't lag, just the sheet) but also that it sometimes just doesn't put something in. For example, me and my friend were putting in their backstory, however when they saved. Gone. It was just gone. This isn't just backstory section, it's mostly anything to do with typing. This happens not only in character builder part, but also the main sheet part while trying to apply changes. They just don't save. OH! Edit. I'm seeing people talk about the equipment in the character builder. Super buggy. Like... selecting something deletes all the other equipment and it's just... weird. I can't explain it that well. Just uh, build a character and mess around with it a touch, you'd see what I mean. I believe, as I mentioned above, this might be an issue with the way we send data back and forth when the sheet is open in more than one place. We're working on a fix for this but we have to be very careful when dealing with fixing what's passed back and forth from the database so we don't risk wiping any characters. Noodle said: David Q. said: Not sure if this has been asked or answered, but will there be a way to add global modifiers to characters for the likes of bless and bane. Have only seen those who can cast it get an effect option on their sheet. I had the same question before and the answer was yes, eventually Effects will be able to include multiple roll types (while now if you make your own for Bless you'd need to make 2 different Effects). Basically recreating the version of the Effect present on the characters sheet which can cast it.  Adding multiple categories to a custom effect is in QA right now and should be released soon.

David Q. said: My group is about to run the new 2024 sheets and when we created them it asked to choose weapon mastery for their class but once the sheet is completed the mastery seems to have added more. This is true with all characters. Can you let me know which of the weapons you picked? Keith is correct, this is showing because somehow the piece of data that tells the sheet "I have Vex" was moved to the sheet but not the piece of data that says "I know (weapon)'s masteries", so the sheet didn't know which weapon you picked Vex for. I can't immediately replicate this but I just picked two random ones so maybe if I pick those specifically it will work. Tuo said: Shorthand (as in using, for instance, @{character_name} in a macro saved as a character ability, rather than @{selected|character_name} or the like) still doesn't work with the sheet. @{target| is still broken when called from the macro bar or from a token ability. The ability list (and you'll have to kill me before I recognize them as "character macros") still appears without a scroll bar and at certain window sizes, cuts off the bottom item: This is as far as the list scrolls down (browser used: Firefox). EDIT: Another issue that came up - you can't link custom attributes to token bars. You're pretty far from parity with the pre-beacon sheet. I'll see if I can replicate that scrolling issue - I wasn't able to last time, but I'll try a few different screen sizes/browsers. The first reported bug is in review now!

Welcome to Warlock Wednesday, I guess.  Noodle  said: Weekly feedback: - Guidance toggled on in Query mode rolls a 0 instead of a 1d4. Also Bless, seems that Effects in Queries are broken atm. If Query mode is off, both Bless and Guidance work as intended. Guidance is a premade effect on the Cleric's sheet, and Bless homemade on another player's sheet. - Would be nice for NPCs to roll twice (not adv/disadv) like on 2014 sheets, especially in Stat Block view where you can't toggle adv on/off. Just a nice time saver. keithcurtis  said: Noodle  said: - Would be nice for NPCs to roll twice (not adv/disadv) like on 2014 sheets, especially in Stat Block view where you can't toggle adv on/off. Just a nice time saver. I'll second this! Many folks prefer to always roll 2d20 and use the first result unless adv/disadv dictates otherwise. Thanks for the effect bug - I'll dig into it, I know I've seen a few issues with queries and bonuses lately. Noted on the two rolls. Andor  said: things that are still not working for Warlock class: 1. Lesson of the first ones only available once, should show up every time you gain an invocation or want to replace one! 2, Pact of the Tome still not working!! 3. Pact of the blade not allowing you to choose damage type 4. modifiers for higher level spell slot not properly showing damage (must add it as a separate roll) 5. pact invocations showing higher LVL choices when you haven't chosen the primary pact of feature (investment of the chain master without pact of the chain etc.) other issues: sheets showing double, triple duplicates of spells, or other features. Features showing up that were not selected, or changed before saving the sheet, but showing up after the sheet is saved. sheet going blank sometimes. if you accidentally dragging a monster to your sheet, it overwrites all data of your character, no recovery from that. 1. I brought this up, it looks like we need a data upgrade to this part of the feature to allow for repeated choices, so this will be a bit to update. 2. Urgh, we put out a fix for spell lists loading like this but Pact of the Tome seems to still be affected. We've identified why this one wasn't fixed with the others and made a ticket though, thanks for the callout. 3. I don't see any data automating this, so this is likely something you'll have to add extra data itself, sorry. 4. Looks like this is only happening with "always roll damage" on. I'll make sure to make a ticket for this. 5. Enforcing prerequisites is still in the roadmap, but I don't believe it's a very high priority right now. However, the prerequisite is listed when you select it, before you move on, so I recommend paying attention to that and making sure you meet it. It would be nice if you could submit a ticket for the various listed issues following this with more detail on what you were doing when it happened, if multiple people had the sheet open, exactly what steps you took, etc.  Dragging and dropping a monster onto your sheet should prompt you with an "are you sure" confirmation modal and not delete your data unless you say yes. I just tested and confirmed that that's working. Is it not for you, or is this an old report? Oginme  said: Issues which appeared in my 2024 game last night: -  Warlock Agonizing Blast is being added to leveled spells. As written, it only gets added to cantrips. -  Druid Circle of the Land Land's Aid feature is not using the Druid's spell save DC.  It lists the spell DC as a Con save DC 8, which means it is not adding the proficiency or wisdom. -  Bless spell has no toggle on the character sheet for the players to have this added to their attacks and saves when it is cast upon their characters.  I added it manually to each of the character sheets which is a more time consuming process than with the 2014 sheets.   1. One of the most important purposes of effects is, for things we can't automate, to give you the ability to quickly turn on and off the feature. This is one of those cases. 2. Yeah, attacks that use special DCs (like non-spells that use spellcasting DCs, or class features that use a special DC) are still in the process of being worked through. The data is there, we just need to process it correctly. 3. You will have to add the effect manually to other sheets, because the only alternative is "if one character gets bless every sheet in the game gets the toggle", since we don't know who's in your party, who's an NPC, etc. and I don't think that's a good alternative. :) For those asking, Bless is just a custom effect. The only difference between it and a custom effect you add yourself is an extra category, but the ticket for manually adding and editing multiple categories of an effect is in QA now so should be out soon. David Q.  said: I have built a Warlock 3 / Sorcerer 1 and the spell slots seem off if I'm correct I should have 2 first level slots for the Sorcerer and 2 second level slots for the Warlock but it only shows 2 first level slots images below. Looks like our multiclassing rules are kicking in when they shouldn't and causing some strangeness here. The fix for this is already in progress.

David Q. said: Is it possible to add a roll based on level here in the roll section I found one that works from chat but not here. Not yet, but this we're working through the dev work that will let you use advanced syntax like that right now. Oginme said: I manually added them earlier. The fact is that in the 2014 sheet I could previously build a macro for the players to select the characters who received the bless and using mods enable it on those sheets.  It made game play quick and easy.  The player got to select the tokens for the characters they wanted bless and everything was done. Game play was smooth and quick and the players liked the automation. We have lost that for the foreseeable future. Hm, seems like this is a hyper-specific feature for bless - if you had cast anything else, like guidance, would that macro have also been able to add that to their sheet? Or is this a side-effect of "the global modifier happened to have bless dice as default"? Could you share the macro?
