5th Edition OGL by Roll20

• Class and Other resources now have a repeating section to add as many as you need.

• Monster Importer is now smarter and improved. Better flavor text is pulled in for attacks that are more complex as well as more complex attacks importing correctly.
• Fixed a bug where the importer was failing to pull in monsters without an armor type or HP formula.

• Initiative Macro Button is now set to roll whenever the NPCs name is clicked.

• The inventory has been overhauled to allow quantity stacks of items.
• Coin’s weight is now factored in the total character weight.
• Fixed a bug where if no armor was selected at all, the default AC wasn’t based on a flat 10 + dexterity modifier.

• Spells with a Casting Ability modifier are tracking it accurately now.
• Spells with Healing are now set up correctly as Core Actions
• New Target + AOE information
• Higher Level spell effects are added automatically to appropriate spells as a query when casting
• Spells with damage or healing automatically default to ATTACK output
• Fixed a bug where spell casting save difficulties were showing NaN if you didn’t have a spell casting ability set.

This is great. very easy to use. 

Having one issue with the 'Attacks & spellcasting' section. i created myself a basic melee attack 'attack' and every time i roll with it, it seems to add advantage?

it will show something like;

10 | 16

each one being a seperate roll. Am I doing something stupid here?

Just found another issue with the monster importer: If an action description has any text in parentheses, it gets imported into a "hit" calculation. An example is the following:

Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage, and the target is Grappled (escape DC 11). Until this grapple ends, the target is Restrained, and the frog can't bite another target.

The text "escape DC 11" gets imported as "on hit 2".

This isn't so bad. It's a lot easier to delete extra content than to have to input a bunch of stuff.

Is there a way to alter saving throw values? Right now things like Ring of Protection aren't adding +1 to saving throws when they're dragged over.

Lot of great stuff going on in the new OGL sheet. I haven't found where you select the death s
aving throw roll as a whisper to the GM. I see where you can make all rolls a whisper, but was wondering if that's in there and I'm just missing it or if it's something for the future?

Thanks!

Hi I'm trying to fill a spellbook for a druid and any spell I fill seems to be adding the strength bonus to the spell damage and doesn't roll to hit. Spells that are added through the compendium are all right but if i fill the fields in the exact the same manner, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how can i fix this?

Also any change I introduce to the spell is not updated. So if I initiate a spell like this



all I get is this:



which is 1d6+strength bonus. And any change I introduce to it doesn't seem to apply

Also the tool proficiency and passive perception boxes over lap the skills box and i can't select proficiency in stealth.

I've found a solution. once you have completely, and correctly, entered all the information in all the correct bits, return to the CORE area on the character sheet (the first page)

Here, you will notice that your spell is now located in the 'attacks and spellcasting' category. you can hover over your new spell, and click the cog. here, you can change everything you need with your spell, including changing the modifier for your attack and damage.

i tried making the poison spray cantrip before. its damage is a d12 on hit, no modifier. but i thought it was strange that the strength modifier was included on the damage. just remember to tick/untick the small boxes for attack, damage, damage 2, saving throw etc. for me, the poison cantrip only needs damage and saving throw ticked, as no ranged spell attack is needed

hope this helps :D

hi folks, can we possibly add a function to roll initiative and have it added to tracker? that would be really helpful!

i tried to add a macro for doing it off of the attributes in the sheet, but it doesn't recognize dexterity:

&{template:default} {{name=@{selected|token_name} rolls for Initiative}} {{You rolled=[[1d20+@{floor((@{dexterity}-10)/2)}&{tracker}]]}}

[[ ?{Initiative Type|Normal, 1d20|Advantage, 2d20kh1|Disadvantage, 2d20kl1} + @{selected|dexterity_mod} + @{selected|initmod} &{tracker} ]]

I Noticed when I Bring over monsters and try to use things like passive perception / stealth the second roll does not work right... Its missing a second bracket to make the roll work properly...

Just a minor Issue but thought you would like the Feedback... Looking forward to watching this develop and add new and even more amazing features !!! You have no idea how many hours I've spent uploading monsters... This will save me so much time !!!

PS: I know its off topic but is there any chance that at some point you can add the monster actions as a macro so it could easily be selected as a token action ?? This would be an amazing addition and make it even more efficient for us GM's??

Inspired O. said:

Maybe I am dumb. But I dont see any place to put armor onto this character sheet. Is the intention really to have the users calculate it themselves?

Given that no one else seems to have a problem with this, I am assuming I am missing something. What am I missing?

1. Create a new character, set the Dexterity to 14.  AC will be properly calculated to 12.
2. Add a blank inventory spot.
3. Search the compendium for a Longsword, drag the Longsword +3 to the blank inventory spot.  AC still properly calculated as a 12.
4. Add a blank inventory spot.
5. Search the compendium for Plate Armor, drag the Plate Armor to the blank inventory spot.  AC is now calculated as 21, where it should be 18.

Hi All

Probably a really dumb question but here goes....

I have set up a character sheet, changed it to NPC and then copied a goblin in to the sheet - that works great (well done to Roll20 - this is awesome!). The goblin has two different attacks, a scimitar and a shortbow. I can see that if I click on those attacks within the sheet it rolls the attack in the chat window and then if I click on the attack name in the chat window it rolls damage - so far so good.

I now want to assign these attacks as Token Actions so that when I select a goblin token the scimitar and shortbow actions appear as "buttons" (ie without having to open the sheet). Once I know how to do this I then intend to use this sheet to set up "Mook" tokens (as per the token tips and tricks entry).

Help - please!

1. In the options enable the macro bar.
2. Drag the roll down to the macro bar, creating a god awful named button.
3. Press this button to activate the ability.
4. Click in the chat box and press the up arrow (this will put the last command executed in the chat box).
5. Copy this command.
6. Switch to the Abilities tab and add a new ability, naming it accordingly, the paste this command to the new ability.
7. Check the token action box.

1. From a new character sheet, click to add a new item in the Attacks & Spellcasting section.  Do not modify anything, simply create the attack and press the cog to close the attack configuration.
2. Click add in the Equipment section of the sheet.
3. Search for a Battleaxe, drag the Battleaxe to the newly created equipment slot, you will then see that no attack gets created.

Ed S. said:I'm looking for a way to output to chat the NPC's traits section. It's a repeating section with a name and a description section that I would like to be able to output it to chat as a reminder. If you could make those rollable that would be great. 

/w gm  &{template:npcaction}  {{name=@{selected|npc_name}}} {{rname=@{selected|repeating_npctrait_$0_name}}} {{description=@{selected|repeating_npctrait_$0_desc} }}

I just made two macros in the Settings tab and set them as a token actions.
%{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action}
and
%{selected|repeating_npcaction_$1_npc_action}

I am not having an issue with the sheet closing... but dragging/dropping into a popped out sheet is definitely not intuitive (meaning I can't seem to get it working at all).

I don't think you can currently do this, and I'm not sure we'll ever be able to get it working, since the way browsers work I"m not sure it's possible to drag-and-drop between totally different windows. I'll look into it, though.

Ed S. said:

The higher level query is not well worded, it's confusing and it doesn't seem to work. I only get the base damage even though a ton of 3-D dice are thrown.  Many more dice than even if I had put the highest level spell slot in. 

I have an issue with the spells not adding modifiers to the die roll. Is it understood that we are to add the modifiers ourselves or is it simply a coding issue?
The first level cure wounds spell isn't adding the characters wisdom modifier to the roll.

.... except Succubus/Incubus, that one is still busted. Thanks again for all your hard work on these! :D

why aren't my attack macros rolling damage dice? I drag and drop shortsword/longbow into equipment, they show up in attacks but when i click the macro it only rolls the d20, no damage is there more i should be doing?

In addition to the other problems with entering custom spells (not getting the right DC / damage without editing on the Core page, etc) there's no way to specify the Higher Level dice. I see on the compendium entry for Fireball that this is handled with two fields (one for the number of dice per level, one for the die size), but these fields don't appear in the spell editor.

Kevin said:

As best I can tell it is pulling the magic mod value from the longsword and applying it to the non-magical plate armor as part of the AC calculation.

I'm unsure if this has been asked before, but from what I've notice, Whenever rolling for a critical attack, it will only do normal crit rules (doubles all dice), what the problem is, is that when you edit the crit dice for being a half-orc, it isn't applying that extra die. If their is a way to fix it, could use the help! :3
