Add Custom Sheet to Chronicles of Darkness Sheet

Would it be possible? If so, any tips on how to go about it? I'm looking to either insert a custom sheet into the Chronicles of Darkness sheet (which lets you choose between various WoD sheets like Vampire, Werewolf, and Mage). I'm planning on running Orpheus (a WoD game) and using lino994's awesome Orpheus character sheet. However, the Orpheus sheet doesn't have the built in dice roller, a way to click the attributes + skills you want to roll, nor does it display the results very clearly or as aesthetically pleasing as the Chronicles sheet. Any advice? I'm not html expert but I can follow directions. 
What do you mean by custom sheet? What sort of features / options are you expecting on it? It sounds more like what you really want is a dice roller in the Orpheus sheet? World of Darkness has its own set of sheets, though I haven't much looked at those. Chronicles of Darkness is a distinct game line, and I'd hesitate to try to make the sheet for it accommodate World of Darkness as well. That said, I'm still open to the idea of a custom sheet option in Chronicles of Darkness, I'm just not really sure what form it should take. I have been engaged with updates to the Chronicles of Darkness community sheet lately, and I'm definitely interested in further improving it.

I suppose you're right in saying that what I really want is a dice roller on the Orpheus Sheet. I didn't realize Chronicles was separate from World of Darkness and thus the rules would be different enough that it would prove an issue trying to integrate the two. It does seem like your sheet is primed to accept WoD with a few tweaks, but I'm not versed enough to really make that assessment. It just appears that way. It's a beautiful sheet by the way. That all said, would there be a way to tweak the Orpheus sheet to function much like your CoD sheet: 1) Dice Roller 2) Clickable attributes, skills, etc that populate into dice roller. 3) Roll results that display attributes and skills that were used as well as number of successes. Here is the Orpheus Sheet by the way: <a href="https://github.com/lino994/roll20-orpheus-character-sheet" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lino994/roll20-orpheus-character-sheet</a> (not my sheet. author is lino994)
I can't claim to have come up with most of the Chronicles of Darkness sheet. I'm just picking it up from where other people have before put in a lot of work to it. It's got some great stuff in it, but I've been gradually cleaning up different pieces of it. I'm really not familiar enough with World of Darkness to know how it differs from Chronicles of Darkness. Just glancing at pdf character sheets, there's different primary Attributes, different Skills, and Health looks very different. WoD Vampires:&nbsp; <a href="https://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/pdf/V20/V20_1-Page_Neonate.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/pdf/V20/V20_1-Page_Neonate.pdf</a> CofD Vampires:&nbsp; <a href="https://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/pdf/VtR/VtR_2ndED_Official_1-Page.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://mrgone.rocksolidshells.com/pdf/VtR/VtR_2ndED_Official_1-Page.pdf</a> The sheet roller was actually on my TODO list, since I know it's currently pretty complicated and I'm hoping to simplify the code for it. I'll move ahead on that and then get back to you with (hopefully) a good example of the sheet roller.
That would be wonderful. Much appreciated!
I created a wiki page with a basic example here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Select_Attributes_for_Sheet_Roll" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Select_Attributes_for_Sheet_Roll</a> For the slightly more involved stuff going on in the Chronicles of Darkness sheet (allowing a certain number of selections based on attribute category, displaying the attributes in the rolltemplate, etc), you can look at what I have here:&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/PrimalZed/roll20-character-sheets/tree/cofd/zed/rolls/Chronicles%20of%20Darkness" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/PrimalZed/roll20-character-sheets/tree/cofd/zed/rolls/Chronicles%20of%20Darkness</a> &nbsp;- I still might do a few more passes of refinement on it before submitting this to the Roll20 repository. If you do make modifications to that Orpheus sheet template, I suggest you submit a pull request to get it added to the Roll20 distribution. If you're unfamiliar with Git, you can look at&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Sheet_Author_Tips#Git.2FGitHub" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Sheet_Author_Tips#Git.2FGitHub</a> &nbsp;for a primer.
This is great! Thank you so much. I'll take a look and see what I can do.&nbsp; I am familiar with Git but have never used it. Also, I just found this NWoD Orpheus sheet: <a href="http://tomthefanboy.com/rpgdocs/mrgone/Orpheus_NWoD_chara_sheet.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://tomthefanboy.com/rpgdocs/mrgone/Orpheus_NWoD_chara_sheet.jpg</a> And now it's got me thinking I might run the game in NWoD 1st edition. Maybe then I could incorporate it into the Chronicles Roll20 sheet?&nbsp;
If you want to use Chronicles of Darkness (1e or 2e) for your game, I'm still open to the concept of adding support for a "custom" sheet type. I expect a basic custom sheet type will entail simply setting custom labels for the following: Character info fields Virtue, Vice, Age, Faction, Group Powers header (e.g. Disciplines) Morality stat (e.g. Humanity) Power stat (e.g. Potency) Power resource (e.g. Vitae) It will not &nbsp;include the following: Custom labels for character info fields Name, Player, Concept, and Chronicle. Choice of Morality stat mechanics. The Morality stat will just be 10 dots to fill left-to-right. Choice of Power stat mechanics. The Power stat will just be 10 dots to fill left-to-right. Choice of Power resource mechanics. The Power resource will just be 20 checkboxes. All other auto-calculated fields (max health, max willpower, defense, initiative modifier, etc) will be calculated as for the Mortal (base) sheet. Would that suit your needs?

That would so wonderful, and absolutely suit my needs. For the two individual power sections (Disciplines and Merits) would it be possible to have three sections with custom headers? And for the three stats (Health, Humanity, and Willpower) could they have dots and check boxes? That's the only thing I see there being any issue with.
I created a pull request for homebrew sheet types:&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/pull/7005" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/pull/7005</a> Regarding "three sections with custom headers", I'd rather not get into new layout options / features for the sake of homebrew. Regarding "have dots and checkboxes", I don't know what you're getting at there. The dots on Health and Morality are effectively meaningless (I'm actually planning on removing those), and the number of checkboxes are auto-determined based on other stats (e.g. Size and Stamina).
