Call of Cthulhu 7e & D&D 5e OGL Character Sheet Mashup

Hi All, I've been playing a lot of D&amp;D and Roll20's OGL sheet is pretty sweet.&nbsp; I'd love to see something similar for running Call of Cthulhu. Of course, even though there's no Compendium (yet?) for CoC, the thing I miss the most when using Cthulhu vs. 5th Edition D&amp;D is the NPC character sheet.&nbsp; (Printed) Cthulhu scenarios and campaigns always have NPC character stat blocks, so I've attempted to adapt the OGL NPC sheet for Cthulhu use.&nbsp; It's nowhere near perfect, but just wanted to put it out there, get some feedback.&nbsp; The code is a bit messy at the moment, but I've successfully combined the 7e CoC sheet and the 5e D&amp;D sheet into one.&nbsp; I'll attach some images of the work I have done so far. Here's the main Call of Cthulhu character sheet, with the tabs from the 5e OGL sheet added: I've moved all of the backstory to the "Bio" page: I kept the "Spells" tab and made it a larger repeating area for 'Tomes, Spells, and Artifacts' (WIP): NPC Options Screen: And finally, the "finished" NPC Character Sheet: I've also modified the roll template to support the npc_name_flag and whisper roll to GM functionality: I've still got a lot of work to do - renaming things, changing the behavior of weapon rolls, adding repeating custom skills/language skills, support for the old &amp; new roll types.&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm learning the internals of these sheets as I go, so I've left a lot of cruft around as well, I'm sure. Here's the code that I have at the moment:&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/JamesAlday/Call_of_Cthulhu_7e_NPC" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/JamesAlday/Call_of_Cthulhu_7e_NPC</a>
i am using this sheet and love it thank you. Question though.&nbsp; beside&nbsp; the stat or skill is two boxes. the bottom one rolls %dice the top one rolls two sets of dice. Can i ask what is the purpose of that second box?
Hi Jerry.&nbsp; I did not create the character sheet. The code I'm linking to is a modification of the original Call of Cthulhu character sheet (the one you get by choosing Call of Cthulhu 7e in the character sheet drop down).&nbsp; According to the notes on that sheet: "BONUS/PENALTY Dice rolls - Grey Button is for current Roll template (it rolls normal, 1 bonus, 2 bonus, 1 penalty, 2 penalty dice and shows all results), Green button is for new smaller (only normal roll) template."
thank you
That's a fantastic idea, kudos. Just a quick question though. Could i use the sheet in my game, if i just copy the Raw code from your github link and paste it in the custom sheet tabs in my game? I tried it today and the Sheet was all red, broken and not usable. I honestly didn't expect anything because i literally copied and pasted it. I would be really really amazed if i could use it in my game, since me and my player weren't really satisfied with the normal character sheet for cthulhu. - Cheers

Ruben, you should be able to do that. When a sheet is red, broken, and unusable it often means you need a&nbsp; translation sheet as well. Copy the contents of the translation.json file to that translation tab.
Thanks for the advice ( nice name btw. XD ). I already added the html, the css, and the translation via copy and paste. Now i at least understand what the translation files is for and how it sorta works (? i guess ?) although it stilll doesn't work. The best i can describe my problem would be that the sheet doesn't use the translated names for the values, only the names used for the code. If i would help i could post a picture.
Thanks for checking it out.&nbsp; It's a bit of a mess, really :)&nbsp; My first intention was just to stick the NPC sheet into the CoC sheet, but then there were other bits in the D&amp;D sheet I decided to play around with, so it could use some cleaning up.&nbsp; I haven't fixed the "weapons" section for NPCs, and I'd love to fix NPC skills to allow extra skill slots, etc. Can you take a screenshot of what the sheet looks like to you?&nbsp; It sounds like you're just missing translations, but it's also possible that the translation file is missing some translations?&nbsp; Again, it's a mashup of CoC/D&amp;D and what I thought were the relevant bits while I was messing with it. Once I get it to a state where I feel comfortable with it I'll try running a game with it.&nbsp; I don't have a dedicated CoC group right now, so I wouldn't want to foist something so experimental on a new group/one-shot.&nbsp; If you've got a group who's willing to try it I'd love to hear your feedback!
Here you go my man. I'm playing the WW2 addon thing: "Achtung! Cthulhu" with my long time buds right now and we've been using the normal Cthulhu sheet for the campaign. I think they'd also be happy to switch to your sheet when you feel it's complete.

From your screenshot it appears the translation file is missing or malformed... I would double check that you have properly copy(raw text) and pasted the translation json in it's entirety.&nbsp;&nbsp;
