Welcome to 13th Age

The Roll20 team is proud to announce our partnership with Pelgrane Press and Fire Opal Media to bring you this official 13th Age character sheet. The sheet was primarily authored by Roll20 developer Steve K.. Most sheet questions can be answered by the friendly folk of the Roll20 Character Sheet forum. For questions, comments, or concerns with the 13th Age sheet you can also contact Steve K. through Roll20 or at [1]. All other questions can be directed to [2].

The official 13th Age sheet has all of the functionality of a pen and paper character sheet and much more. Certain aspects of the sheet have been stream lined or automated to remove bookkeeping and speed up gameplay. The key features are auto-calculations, rollable buttons, and roll templates.

Installation

There are two ways to include the 13th Age Character sheet in your game. You can start a new game and select it as the character sheet at that time from the Create New Game screen. For existing games you can add a character sheet from the Game Details page. On the Game Details page there is a Settings drop down with an option for Game Settings. On the Game Settings page you can select the 13th Age sheet from the dropdown options. Click save and you're ready to roll.

Once installed the sheet can be accessed on any character added to the Journal. The middle tab on any character will open the 13th Age sheet and give you access the options below.

Options

At the top of the 13th Age sheet are a series of character options. This section is intended to house certain traits that are usually set at character creation and then don't change. Their placed here so that the sheet can make use of them for automated calculations but would otherwise clutter up the sheet with unnecessary data that you won't use from game to game.

The options you'll set in this section are:

• Your base defenses determined by your class (AC, PD, MD)
• Your base HP determined by your class
• Your damage on a miss for basic attacks determined by your class
• Any flat bonuses to HP granted by magic items

Auto Calculations

There are many aspects of the sheet that are calculated for you automatically. For example, your characters defenses based on attributes, base defenses from class, and level are automatically determined. Similarly your Hit Points, Staggered Health, Basic Attack hit and damage, and more are all figured for you without having to do the math yourself. As the base attributes, such as Level or Strength, advance the derived traits with update accordingly.

Rollable Buttons

All throughout the sheet are rollable buttons that will make the pre-formatted correct character roll for whatever stat the represent. For example, clicking on the STR of a character will make a Strength roll with the appropriate bonuses and modifiers. You can tell a stat is a rollable button because it will highlight when you hover over it and the cursor will turn to a pointer.

Rollable buttons can be found as:

• Attributes Names
• Initiative
• Recovery
• Icon Relationships
• Basic Attacks
• Power Cards

Attributes and Backgrounds

Attribute rolls are made as a 1d20 roll, plus the associated attribute modifier, the character level, and any conditional modifiers chosen at the time of the roll. If there is a Background selected at the time of the roll the sheet will include it in the roll.

The Background section has ten options for backgrounds with a place for the background name followed by the number of points you've invested into the character's background. The radio button to the left of the background name is how you set which background is currently active. If you wish for no background to be included in the roll, select any of the empty-unpopulated background slots.

Icon Relationships

The Icon Relationship section has five options for the characters various relationships with key icon figures in the 13th Age universe. The section as a place to write the name of the Icon, such as "Orc Lord", a dropdown to choose the nature of their relationship, and finally a place to list the level that the relationship is at. You can select which relationship is highlighted by selecting the radio button to the left of the icon name.

Clicking on the "Icon Relationships" header will roll for that relationship as is normally done at the beginning of a session. The roll button will roll a number of dice depending of the relationship level, highlighting significant results of 5 and 6.

Recovery

The Recovery roll button will roll 1 die of the type you've set for your recovery die, plus your Constitution modifier. The
