[New] D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet

Greg B. said:

So i've ran into this issue again with the lack of name, some of my players share the same computer and use it to control both of their characters so when I ask for a perception roll I get two rolls but do not know which one belongs to whom. I've updated to the latest sheet but sadly I do see some of these name wrapping issues as well.

Anyway to find a way to put the name in as a sub header and keep the rest of the data the same no matter if the name is present or not?

Also how about a global option somewhere to be able to enforce names rather than having to change it on a sheet by sheet basis?

I can force names to their own line - that's really the only way to avoid the wrapping. In that case it just forces the wrapping always.

Otherwise I'd have to truncate the name at a certain length.


Global settings don't exist. Settings have to be set on every sheet. Nothing I can do about that unfortunately. :(

I think you might mean Jeff S. :)

What about a setting inside the script that could do it? Similar to the way the "Hidden" rolls are setup?

It is how it is to match the paper sheet. Their design is quite nice. I thought about integrating the check in with the abilities, but it looked a bit dirty.

Plus you're viewing it in a really wide version. Shrink it to the default size and you'll see that there is not anywhere that amount of room.

Tony N. said:

It appears that the auto functionality does a -1 on the amount listed in the Ammo slot, but does not actually reduce the ammo by one. Therefore you have to manually reduce the ammo by -1 for it to display an additional reduction.

Is this a bug or am I not setting things up correctly?

@{selected|output_option} &{template:5eDefault} {{action=1}} {{character_name=@{selected|character_name}}} @{selected|show_character_name} {{title=@{selected|repeating_actions_0_name}}} {{action_type=@{selected|repeating_actions_0_type}}} @{selected|repeating_actions_0_macro_options}

It takes the browsers about 30 seconds to get one token hooked up. For some reason it hangs for about 10-15 seconds when you select a character sheet. Then when you close the token setting page it takes another 10-15 seconds. That almost 30 seconds just to hook up one token.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just javascript being slow?

I saw that as the roll type input in the source, But couldn't figure out how roll20 would let me call that. You rock.

Mark said:

@Daniel: I'd recommend you not copy David's example. Instead you should use: %{selected|repeating_actions_0_action}
that way it will always stay updated with the character sheet.

I love this sheet. My only current request (that I am sure is coming) is to have the Class Abilities macros for Melee and Ranged attacks work with the 'New' weapon style.

• Class actions work on new weapons
• Character name is on its own line on the roll template now

Ok I am up to this point. with the old weapon slots we could put "%{Shayleen|RangedAttack1}" in actions can we do the same with the new? what are they named if true?

Robert N. said:

In class action how would I add in teh macro section to give a +2 to hit?

Don't suppose you are willing to change the default whisper to DM function of monster rolls to public? :D I always end up changing that myself.

Robert N. said:

Bonuses & Penalties section does not seem to be working for. I added it to each weapon for now.

Just wondering why I can't edit the core stats on the current merged version of your sheet.

Sheet version: 10th Apr 2015 works for me on Chrome. I can edit everything on the core page. You'll have to be more specific.

If you are refering to https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1885521/character-sheets-on-chrome-are-blank then that's the other 5e sheet.

Mark - I am having some major performance issues with your sheet. There is a considerable delay between when I open a sheet and when I make changes to the edit portion. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am thinking that I might take your current sheet and make a custom sheet - eliminating the old NPC section unless you are planning on doing this in the future. I also want to know if you still have major additions still coming as i don't want to make a custom sheet and have to keep adding your new additions.

With the latest html/css dated 25th Apr (forgot to update the date) I do not see any delay at all on the character sheet itself.

When you say "the edit portion" do you mean the screen to edit the name, avatar, reference, bio & info, GM Notes? If that's the case that section has nothing to do with the character sheet and shortening the character sheet wouldn't fix it.
I too get a large amount of lag on the edit page when I copy/paste. Roll20 in general seems to significantly lag when copy/pasting.

Old Sections: I plan to eventually remove these old sections, but if I do it too quickly it will be problematic. They still work and are nice references if you had a lot of NPCs from before. The old NPC section is only ~1300 lines of HTML. I doubt that would cause any issues.

Future plans:
The sheet will definitely continuously change/improve. My current plans:

1. Implement nested inline rolls
2. Tooltip all the things
3. I've been redoing Aaron's Torch script to have a less crazy flicker. Will likely release this at some point.
4. New Weapons tab
5. PC importer script
6. Spell importer script

Have you done something currently that might effect Aaron's Torch script if I have it loaded now?

This character sheet does not contain scripts, no.

Nor do my scripts include torch. I have a separate script for torch which is a fork of Aaron's, but I've stopped using it as it causes my scripts to fail when running another script.
