Use Community sheet for NPCs but 5e by Roll20 for players?

ok, I think i know what to ask. I setup a game and chose to use the  D&D 5E by Roll20  sheet. This is working great. I also purchased the monster manual but when I open those character sheets they are different. Where can I choose what character sheet to use for NPCs/Monsters but leave the player sheets the same? Basically I want to be able to use the community sheet for DM NPCs but let others use the other one? hopefully that makes sense. I can't see where the monster manual picks the sheet to use and if that is configurable.

Basically not possible. Theoretically , you could get Pro account, figure out how to make custom character sheets, and combine the code for the two character sheets, and then have a sheet that have the best of both for you, except the the public code for the "D&D 5E by Roll20" sheet is like 1½ years old, so you'd be looking at an downgraded version of the sheet, which likely have some incompatibilities to the current Compendium content anyway.
ok that stinks but I understand. follow up question, so is there a way to use different roll templates in games where you have one sheet being used but like the roll templates from somewhere else?  basically I would like to use the 5eDefault roll template, but as I understand it that only comes with the community sheet and my game is setup for the d&d 5e by roll20 sheet.  So is there a way to either import a roll template to an existing game, or just manually replicate the look of that template? thanks

cordell m. said: follow up question, so is there a way to use different roll templates in games where you have one sheet being used but like the roll templates from somewhere else?&nbsp; I answered that in your other thread.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9668414/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9668414/</a> Any roll template besides the default template (not 5Edefault), is part of sheet, code.&nbsp; The templates available in your game are determined by the character sheet you are using. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates#Using_Roll_Templates" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates#Using_Roll_Templates</a>
ok thanks, I guess what Im asking is Can I edit the sheet in use and ADD roll templates to the sheet? what if I want a sheet to have 25 roll templates from all different places is that possible? I realize I may need a Pro sub to hack the sheet up but im willing to do that

I'm not aware of a limit on the number of roll templates in sheet code, so I don't see why not.&nbsp; Though there is definitely the possibility of html/css labeling conflicts if you just take a bunch of roll templates from various sheets and dump them together.

Yes, some of the roll templates are simple to add the code of another sheet, and it's indeed requires a Pro account. However, if you want to use the the public code for the "D&amp;D 5E by Roll20" sheet in some form, you run into the same problem I just mentioned. Less so if you use another sheet as your base, and only want to add the templates from the "D&amp;D 5E by Roll20" sheet to it.
Great, you guys are very helpful, I have gone ahead and upgraded to pro, so is there a way to see what roll templates come with each sheet?
