Hi Mahikan, Roll20 is designed to be system agnostic. Practically any system can, has or is run here. DnD and PF just happen to be the most popular. Things like character sheets are generally community created and supported but aren't even necessary for play. All games have an attributes and abilities tab, even without a sheet selected, that can be used to track the various attributes a game system needs. For more granular help I'd recommend checking out the wiki .
Thank you, I did not find an answer on the wiki. How can we create custom character sheets in this case?

Custom character sheets require a Pro subscription to create, or at least access to a user with a Pro subscription. An introduction to character sheets, plus instructions for their creation are on the front page of the wiki and can be found below. A good working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and probably JavaScript would save a lot of frustration.

Roll Templates : These are a special facet of the Character Sheets system which provide additional layout and styling options for the display of roll results.

It's also worth bearing in mind that you don't need  to use a character sheet, especially if the system you are using is fairly simple. Each character journal has an Attributes & Abilities tab, and you can enter a simple list of skills/attributes/stats in the Attributes section, and use the Abilities section to create custom rolls using those attributes. It's not pretty, but it's functional.

And it's what everybody used before Character Sheets became a reality. Some folks still prefer it that way. It would certainly run leaner.
