Editing Character Sheet as Player

Not sure why a player who has view and edit capability for a character sheet can't update/change the default token and avatar for the character, so I'd recommend enabling that. However, if that can't be implemented, can we at least get rid of that section on the character sheet when a player is editing the character?  It takes up a lot of room and even when you re-size the character sheet so you can see more, that section grows first and leaves about half the page blank...

Can you give screenshots? I am having trouble picturing what you are saying.... From what I know you can set up for players to edit or view or both different aspects of a token, and I'm not sure what this blank section you are talking about is...

Player view GM edit Notice the difference?

Yeah, I see it now. Hopefully the devs see this.

Thanks, Kristin - that makes sense (which reminds me, I have another suggestion I need to make).  So, I guess my recommendation is to get rid of that section for players when they go into edit mode (or hide it); it takes up a lot of space and makes editing the character a bit clunky.

Kristin C. said: The reason that players can't change the portrait and token images presently is because they don't have access to the image search tab on the sidebar to drag pictures into those corresponding boxes. Players don't have access to this because it prevents them from dragging images to the tabletop - either from the Roll20 image search or uploading images into the GM's image library. Uh... you can just drag an image from the desktop into those fields. You can also manually enter an image url. So it's not the image search tab that prevents this on the journal entries at least.

Yeah, ignore the URL part... and the drag and drop is a bug. I can drop any image onto the spot where the avatar should be and it saves. I can then drag that avatar onto the map and make a token out of it, but I can't edit anything on the token.

The real problem here is that, the part of the character sheet that is used most frequently, with the Attributes and Abilities macros, is on the second tab, instead of the first tab, where it belongs. Flavor should be the SECOND thing that pops up; not the first. Utility should come before flavor, if it hasn’t been tastefully woven around it.

Well, seeing how roll20 is a tabletop platform, what you call flavor is actually quite a primary feature in this case. However, character data is quite important too. Had I designed a website like this, one of my first worries would have been all the sheets and stuff that I would have had to make for the all the characters' data, which is pretty important too, though not a primary feature of the website.

Forgive me if I'm programming-stupid, but couldn't this easily be solved by *giving* players access to that tab on the sidebar, and limiting the permissions for actually using it on the GM side? Along with a GM-side setting for "Allow Players to Create Characters?" (or merged into one option, with a limit on the number created), this would allow my GM's to worry more about setting up and executing the game, rather than spending the first 45 minutes of it making sure everyone likes whatever tokens they've been able to locate, and I could speak as my character without changing my "Display Name," even if my GM forgot to set up characters for everybody.

this is a simple working character sheet - and yes, its just a test campaign i use sometimes for mucking around in, can't hurt it - &nbsp;I have no problems with it and it works just fine for quick and easy access of information - plus easy to write macros for&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/151657/VofIDA" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/151657/VofIDA</a> I must point out that it IS created automatically from a script i have running in the API - every time you make a new character, it has these entries ready to go.&nbsp;
