Need help editing templates

ok I have googled myself silly trying to find what I thought was a simple answer. I have the monster manual purchased, I open the NPC character sheet for any baddie and I click on the attack how can I format that to look like the 5eDefault instead? or how can I just create it from scratch? Here is what I am looking for, a macro where I can select any token I drop on the board, click the button and it rolls their default attack and damage but formatted better than what shows in the chat. right now it seems to be the npcatk template and for the life of me I cant see where to edit that I want to add some colors, make the font bigger, add some description etc
Cordell, maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. But when you created your game did you select the D&D 5e character sheet in the game settings? This is how you set the templates for the character sheets, and it'll use that style in your game. If not, you can go into your game settings and update.
yes, and those sheets are working for player characters, but when I add a "bandit" for example to the game from the monster manual, it uses a very slimmed down character sheet picture attached.
now when im in game and click on Scimitar for the attack, this is what I get, I want to format this

Roll Templates are part of sheet code, and each roll button is a trigger for a macro that will already have the roll template to be used as part of the built in macro.&nbsp; You won't be able to edit the code for that sheet.&nbsp; You can go through and rewrite the macros of all the abilities to use different roll templates, and store those as character abilities (Attributes &amp; Abilities tab) but that would be a lot of work. In case you haven't checked them out, the Help Center articles on that sheet and the roll templates that are part of it can be found here: <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773573-D-D-5E-by-Roll20" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037773573-D-D-5E-by-Roll20</a> <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037257834-D-D-5e-OGL-Roll-Templates" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037257834-D-D-5e-OGL-Roll-Templates</a>
hmm, thanks, tell me if this is possible. A macro that takes the current token and uses it and the 5e template so I click on a token, click a macro button, it then takes the default attack of that token + looks up the modifier for that token and then formats it using a template I choose? I couldnt find the attack modifier on the sheet as an attribute I wouldnt need to click on any action on the sheet, i would not to have to bring up the sheet, just click the token, click the macro and it calculates the attack and damage

Yes, what you are describing is just a macro (in the macros collection or an ability on the attributes and abilities tab) that has been set as a token action.&nbsp; But be aware that there is really no such thing as a "5e template".&nbsp; The sheet you are using has 8 roll templates included according to the Help Center article.&nbsp; The roll template output that you don't like is one of those roll templates.&nbsp; You will need to figure out which template you want to use and figure out how to structure your macros to use the template you like to see. Any attributes that are part of a repeating section won't be listed in the attributes and abilities tab, because each new line of a repeating section includes a dynamically generated unique identifier.&nbsp; One way to get a specific attribute call is to right click on the field and select "inspect element".&nbsp; That will show you the html attribute.&nbsp; In the html, all attributes begin with "attr_".&nbsp; You don't need that in the attribute call, but everything after is required.&nbsp; So "attr_attribute_name" becomes "@{attribute_name}" in a macro.
ok found my answer on this post&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5352962/5edefault-and-5eattack-templates-not-working-dot-but-default-template-is" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5352962/5edefault-and-5eattack-templates-not-working-dot-but-default-template-is</a> short version the 5eDefault template I wanted to use is a community template from a different sheet, I assumed it came with the 5e Sheet, I am trying to wrap my head around sheets related to templates, thanks.&nbsp; So how can I see what templates would be available in my game using the "D&amp;D 5e" sheet as shown above
