QUESTIONS: 3.5 Sheet Stuff

if my DM hasn't assigned anyone (is NOT using) a Char Sheet, is there a way for me to 'MAKE' a sheet, without having to fill my screen with individual MACRO 's? I cant even assign attributes. I am playing in D&D3.5. I tried talking to her, but she states that to have all players having uniformity.  :P

Uniformity is easier to achieve using a community sheet that helps to universally define the attributes of all players. If you can't even add attributes to your journal entry it seems like you only have view rights to it rather than edit/control (do you only see the bio tab when in the sheet?). Sadly if the DM doesn't want to do things differently there is not a lot you, a player, can do but make your macros yourself with hard-coded (possibly labeled) values in them which you maintain yourself: /me attacks @{target|token_name} vigorously with their ?{Weapon?|Longsword|Hand Axe|Dagger}: [[1d20 + 3 [BAB1] + 1 [Str-mod] + ?{other att mod?|0}]]! A successful hit deals [[1d[[?{what die?|8}]] + 1 [Str-mod] + ?{other dam mod?|0}]] The macro above will give you a few queries but a more flexible attack option which reduces the macros needed overall. You can also do wonderful things with API buttons (although faked in this instance) to call macros in order to consolidate and create menus, you'll need to study the  API button wiki entry to get the hang of it but I'll be happy to help if you repost and specific questions here.

Before character sheets were introduced, this is how many rpg's were played on roll20. You can also enter all your character info in bio and/or handouts as another option.   I have to say though, we've come a LONG way since then.  Most sheets are now ubber-powerful and flexible.  Even if you don't care to use a sheet's built-in macros, sheet rolls, and roll template formatting and logic, just having access to all of it's attributes for your own macros is invaluable...  If you design your token/ability macros accordingly, they dynamically adjust to changes on the sheet.  ie leveling up, temp conditions, buffs, etc.
yes, thank you both  for the quick feedback. I thought this much. I'll check out the Macro you offered me Ziecheal, thanks. Aaron, you are VERY correct, I almost ALWAYS tinker with the in-sheet templates. Its invaluable, as you stated.  I was just wondering if i, the player, could force my way AROUND the DM not wanting to use the tools allowed by the site. well, I got my answer.  Thanks and Peace out.
