Revision as of 19:14, 15 July 2015

The Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Character Sheet was created by Alex L. and Ville S. later updated and added to by Wes. It is a very comprehensive sheet and has a lot of fields for recording a character’s various abilities, features, powers, etc. Most of the sections are collapsible for users to configure what is showing at any given time.

The intent of this wiki page is to aid GM/DM’s and players to get the most out of the sheet and it’s features. There are some complex roll mechanics happening behind the scenes, this page should help you to understand what is happening and improve your experience while using the sheet.

FAQ

Q. How can I send you feedback, suggestions, or report a bug/error?

A. You have a couple of options Send me: Wes a PM on roll 20, or file an issues report on Github under the Forked Repository. I will try to respond as quickly as possible but times may vary.

Q. Why is my armor showing up wrong?

A. When first created the sheet was built to account for the defenses to use a modifier as a bonus to a character's armor. In Version 2.0 of the sheet, this has been accounted for by adding a “None” with a value of zero “0” to the Select AC Ability in the Defenses sub-section of the Settings Tab of the character sheet.

Character Sheet and Tabs

The character sheet starts with a header section. It precedes the tabs and is always displayed regardless of which tab of the character sheet is being displayed below it.

Each of the four tabs here, [Stats] [Inventory] [Powers] [Settings] will open up a different section of the character sheet. Hovering over a Tab will show an interactive mouse pointer to select that tab. This wiki will outline them in order from left to right; Stats, Inventory, Powers, Settings.

Header Section

This is the first section or header section of the character sheet. Below is a list of the fields, where you can record general information about your character.

Each will be in a subsection that will toggle open and closed.

Roll Template

The template for the Dungeons and Dragons 4e Character Sheet is named &{template:dnd4epower}

Template Header Colors

The template is built to display information in a set format. There are property names to adjust the Header to several different colors, only one of these property names should have a value input after it, leaving the others blank. For example for a Daily Power Header use: {{daily=yes}} or {{daily=This is Grey.}}

• {{atwill=}}
• {{encounter=}}
• {{daily=}}
• {{item=}}
• {{other=}}
• {{ability=}}
• {{skill=}}
• {{monster=}}

Template Property Names

The following is the complete list of{&template:dnd4epower} {{propertynames=}}. They appear in the output in chat in order from top to bottom, and columns left to right.

Template Logic

The template has several logic functions built into it.

• Critical Rolls the first attack roll will report a critical. This is true for the main attack, secondary attack, tertiary attack, and augments 1, 2, 4, and 6 first attacks. The Multiattack rolls do not report a critical roll.
• Roll Titles if the following property names contain content they will be preceded by a Red Title in the chat output.{primarytarget}, {secondaryattack}, {tertiaryattack}, {augment1}, {augment2}, {augment4}, and {augment6}.
• Multi Attack Toggles if the following property names contain a numerical toggle they will display additional attacks based on the numeric value that they receive.{multiattacktoggle}, {augmenttoggle}, {augment1multitoggle}, {augment2multitoggle}, {augment4multitoggle}, and {augment6multitoggle}.

Here are the Toggle Values that the Template was built for.

• Multiattacktoggle [[ ?{Number of Attacks 2 to 20|2} ]] Supports up to 20 attacks.
• Augmenttoggle [[ ?{Augment 0, 1, 2, 4, 6|0} ]]
• Augment1multitoggle [[ ?{Number of Attacks 2 to 9|2} ]] Supports up to 9 attacks.
• Augment2multitoggle [[ ?{Number of Attacks 2 to 9|2} ]] Supports up to 9 attacks.
• Augment4multitoggle [[ ?{Number of Attacks 2 to 9|2} ]] Supports up to 9 attacks.
• Augment6multitoggle [[ ?{Number of Attacks 2 to 9|2} ]] Supports up to 9 attacks.

Template Examples

Here are some of the template rolls that the sheet uses and a couple of examples of template code for some skills / powers.

Initiative Check Roll uses this template macro: &{template:dnd4epower} {{other=1 }} {{emote=@{initiative-roll-text} }} {{name=Initiative Check }} {{class=@{selected|token_name} }} {{initiative=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{init-highest} ]] [Selected Mod] + [[ @{halflevel} ]] [Half Level] + [[ @{init-feat} ]] [Feat Bonus] + [[ @{init-item} ]] [Item Bonus] + [[ @{init-misc} ]] [Misc Bonus] + [[ [[ @{initiative} ]]*@{init-tie} ]] [Tie Breaker] &{tracker} ]] }}

Ability Check Roll (Strength, in this example) uses this template macro: &{template:dnd4epower} {{emote=@{ability-strength-roll-text} }} {{name=Strength Ability Check }} {{class=@{character_name} }} {{type=Using Strength }} {{ability=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{strength-mod} ]] [STR Mod] + [[ @{halflevel} ]] [Half Level] ]] }}

Skill Check Roll (Acrobatics, in this example) uses this template macro: &{template:dnd4epower} {{emote=@{skill-acrobatics-roll-text} }} {{name=Acrobatics }} {{class=@{character_name} }} {{type=Skill Check }} {{skill=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{dexterity-mod} ]] [DEX Mod] + [[ @{halflevel} ]] [Half Level] + [[ @{acrobatics-trained}*5 ]] [Trained] + [[ @{acrobatics-pen} ]] [Armor Penalty] + [[ @{acrobatics-misc} ]] [Misc] ]] }}

Template Hints Tips and Tricks

To create the “♦” icon in a template: Hold Down the “alt-key” and press the “4-key” on the Number Pad.

The Sheer amount of fields in the template can be overwhelming and takes some getting used to. Just remember that Templates are just Forms where you fill in the blanks.

To aid with the creating of a template, Wes created a Google Spread Sheet that will do the Formatting for you. It can be found here: Dungeons & Dragons 4e Template Builder.
