Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition (Basic Roleplaying) needs minor adjustements.

My CoC groups are using the Basic Roleplaying sheet for 7e, since the "by Roll20" version is currently very buggy with miscalculations and it was even removed for a while recently. I'm satisfied enough with the BRP version of the sheet but there are a couple of things that need revision: The "purple die roll" is calculating Bonus and Penalty rolls wrong: in the game system (Keeper Rulebook, p. 71) both bonus and penalty dice are rolled (up to 2 of one type, since they cancel each other) as d10's representing only the tens digit, replacing the original tens digit rolled if it's lower (bonus) or higher (penalty). The sheet is rolling two d100's and completely overriding the original roll, which leads to some results that are not supported by the rules; It would be cool to have an "editing mode" that can be turned on and off, so the Backstory entries become fully readable without scrolling down when you're not editing them. I'm posting this here because I'm not sure who I should address to make this request. If I'm doing something wrong, please enlighten me. Thanks in advance!

Oh, I see. Guess that's why the d100 roll is only possible as it's own thing? So we can't ask the engine to roll a d10 for only the tens or units. Thanks for explaining. Also, congratulations for the good job — I'm assuming you're the sheet author.

The "sheet author" role just shows a person in general a sheet author, not for any specific sheet. There are tons of sheet authors for the large amount of sheets on Roll20. You see the name of a sheet's author when you are in the menu selecting the sheet.
