Is there a way to upload a Straight word document?

I have character sheets for a campaign I'm running for Palladium first edition, but I only have them as word documents. is there a way I can upload them? I don't understand the palladium Megaverse sheet, as I've only ever owned the fantasy role-play module and the revised edition Handbook, which still allows gnome longbowmen

No, but handouts can be uploaded with a single page from a PDF document, and there are many programs you can install that will let you convert a Word document to a PDF. I have PDFCreator installed on my system as a print driver, so I can print any document and choose PDFCreator as the printer to send it to, and I'll get a new PDF document.

I think Joseph is looking to make a character sheet for his game, rather than handouts. Is there a way to do that with PDFs or word docs? I haven't used MS products for 15+ years, but I vaguely recall there being a 'convert to HTML' option in Word, which is a first step towards a usable character sheet.

Can non mentor's make character sheets?

Anyone can *MAKE* a character sheet, but only Mentors have the option to manually select a custom one that is not already on the list. I believe ( and could be mistaken ) that Tecccccchnically, you could create a sheet and submit it to the github repository and wait for it to be pushed with the other sheets, but that's probably not exactly viable.

Mark G. said: I believe ( and could be mistaken ) that Tecccccchnically, you could create a sheet and submit it to the github repository and wait for it to be pushed with the other sheets, but that's probably not exactly viable. This is correct. Anyone may submit pull requests to the GitHub repository to create a community sheet. However, there is no means to test a sheet before submission without being a Mentor.

I've gotten this and that you need to pay sums of money I'm not willing/don't have to do a lot of thing useful on this site

On the offchance that you don't need to actually edit them, you can save your documents as single-page PDF's and just drag them over. Probably not what you're looking to do, but I wanted to throw that out there. Alternatively, you can do away with the visual "Character Sheet" aspect entirely and use the Attributes & Abilities to track their stats and create Abilities(just like macros but specific to a character). This is, in essence, what the Character Sheets are doing anyway... just graphically. If you setup one person's Character Journal with everything, you can use the DUPLICATE button on the EDIT page for the journal to make copies of it for other people. The following is a brief example for an attack macro in pathfinder: Open the character journal and click on the Attributes and Abilities tab. On the left side, Add the following Attributes, pressing the enter key after you enter each number: MyBAB set it to "2" MySTR Set it to whatever the STR bonus is (not the 12, or 14, or whatever, just the bonus) MyDEX Set it to whatever the STR bonus is (not the 12, or 14, or whatever, just the bonus) MyWeapon1Name set it to "LongSword" MyWeapon1Dice set it to "1d8" MyWeapon1AttackBonus set it to "0" unless it's a Masterwork Weapon (1) MyWeapon1DamageBonus set it to "0" unless it's enchanted (+1,+2, etc) The reason we're using "MYxxxx" is to avoid the chance of a character sheet using the same attribute names as we do. On the right side under Abilities, Click the ADD button and give it a name like "Longsword" or "Melee" /me slashes with his @{MyWeapon1Name}! Attack: [[ 1d20cs19 + @{MyBAB} + @{MySTR} + @{MyWeapon1AttackBonus} + ?{Any Temporary Attack Bonus'?|0} ]] Damage: [[ @{MyWeapon1Dice} + @{MySTR} + @{MyWeapon1DamageBonus} + ?{Any Temporary Damage Bonus'?|0} ]]

Links can be put in the Chat, campaign forum, in a Handout, or in any individual player's Journal. Then they can open the Word character sheet in another tab & refer to it, edit it, while playing Roll20 in the main browser tab.

Perhaps this will help: I cut-n-paste my Word docs directly into a handout or token. The formatting stays in tact with the exception of bullet lists (and a special font I use), but those are easy to fix in the editor's formatter. For each room, I make a handout that contains the players' and GM notes. It is much easier than making PDFs and uploading a picture. The Word version is also editable after it is uploaded, which PDF's aren't. -Falsoon
