Intro

Savage Worlds (tabbed) Character Sheet, v3

The Savage Worlds Tabbed Character Sheet (SW-TCS) tracks Wild Card characters, Extra characters, and vehicles for Savage Worlds by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. It supports the Core rules for Savage Worlds Deluxe (SWD) and Adventure Edition (SWADE), includes support for many popular settings, and allows for customization. It automatically calculates modifiers due to wounds, fatigue, and encumbrance, and provides buttons for trait, attack, damage, and other rolls.

The original SW-TCS was created by G V. Version 3.x of the SW-TCS was updated by Finderski.

The forum for the character sheet, while under development, is here: SWT QA Game. The latest version of the sheet can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/tree/master/SavageWorlds-Tabbed

Common Buttons

These character sheet conventions that apply throughout the character sheet.

Show/Shrink Buttons: Next to the section title, click the Shrink icon to hide the section (or shrink it to a summary). Click the Eye icon to show it again.

tRoll Buttons: Clicking the troll button will roll its associated trait, weapon, or power. Roll buttons can be dragged to the Macro quick bar at the bottom of the screen. You can make rolls public or visible only to the GM: Hover the item to reveal the settings (ygear) icon, then select Whisper roll to GM.

Here's the general formula for the roll buttons:

 Highest of Rank die + Rank modifier, or Wild die
 + Trait Roll Modifier 
 + Trait Test Modifier (or Damage Modifier for damage rolls) 
 + Encumbrance Penalty (0 or negative for Agility & Strength-based rolls) 
 - Wounds
 - Fatigue

Weapon and Power roll buttons are configurable (click the cog):

Damage--- Rolls damage when clicked
Atk + Dmg--- Rolls linked attack skill (like Fighting or Shooting) when clicked. The roll result has a button to roll damage. The linked skill is configurable.
Atkx + Dmg--- Used for guns with RoF more than 1. Prompts for number of skill dice (max is the RoF) before rolling.
Cast--- For powers, rolls linked skill like Faith or Spellcasting. The linked skill is configurable.

Repeating Sections: At the bottom of each repeating section (Skills, Hindrances, Edges, Advancements, Weapons, Powers, Armor), there are buttons to add more items, or delete and rearrange existing items.

Character Sheet Tab

The Character sheet tab contains all the data for a Savage Worlds character, and leverages the capabilities of Roll20 to auto-calculate derived stats (including Parry or cyberpunk Strain), calculate roll modifiers (including Wounds or encumbrance), and provide buttons for die rolls (including trait, power, and damage rolls).

The sheet includes every skill from the Savage Worlds Deluxe and Adventure editions plus a few popular skills such as: Faith, Guts, Rituals, Spellcasting, Psionics, and Weird Science. All skills except for Fighting are hidden by default allowing the player to select the skills they will be using.

Attributes

If you have a weapon or edge that modifies an attribute, click the cog and enter it in the 'modifier due to edges' field.

Skills

Click the Configure (wrench/hammer) icon to select from standard skills. You can add more skills to the standard list through the Configuration tab. You can add custom skills by clicking the + (plus) button at the bottom left. Custom skills can be linked to any attribute.

Health

Wounds, Fatigue, and Distracted will be applied as modifiers to trait rolls. Wounds and Fatigue are usually linked to Tokens (Bar 3 and Bar 1, respectively).

Derived Statistics

Parry and Toughness are calculated automatically, and Toughness includes modifiers from armor in the Armor section.

Size and Encumbrance can be enabled in the Configuration Tab.

Miscellaneous

The Trait and Damage modifiers will be applied to Trait and Damage rolls. Some players link these to Tokens (Bar 1 and Bar 2).

Load Limit Modifier - This helps calculate the Load Limit. The Load Limit is a calculated field and is the maximum weight a character can carry before becoming encumbered. The formula is:

(@{strength}+@{stMod}) * @{loadlimitmulitplier}

Total Load Carried - This is a calculated automatically as the sum of armor, weapons, and gear carried.

Advancements

Use this to record what was added with each advancement. If you increase a trait or add an edge, you should also record that in those sections; this is just a log. This section can be configured to appear on the Character or Journal page.

Weapons

The weapon button can be Damage, Attack + Damage, or if RoF is more than 1, AttackX + Damage.

The weapon will only show in the Stat Block and the weight will only be counted if carried (Carried button shows a checkmark).

The notes field is shown when rolling damage.

Powers

The configuration button (wrench/hammer) allows multiple Powers sections to support multiple arcance backgrounds (spell casting, psionics, etc.)

The trappings field is shown when the power is activated. The notes field can configured to also show at activation.

Power points are not automatically reduced when a power is activated. Many players link the power points field to Bar 2 on their token.

Armor

Armor weight is added to total weight if it is carried, even if it is not worn. If worn, the armor value is automatically added to Toughness.

Gear

The weight of gear that is worn is automatically added to total weight.

Augmentations

The Augmentation section can be enabled in the Configuration settings. This field is mainly intended for cyberpunk settings or any other setting that may use implants to enhance or extend the bodies capabilities, especially if those implants are mechanical in nature. This section is NOT a repeating section and there are a total of 12 different rows that a character can use, but they are show in groups of 4 rows. While this potentially adds to the clutter of the character sheet this approach was taken so that the Strain can be calculated and automatically applied to the Strain Derived Stat. Each Row in this section has three fields: Augmentation, Strain, and Details.

The initial view will display the first four rows. Below that block is a button to show another four rows. Clicking that button will display a second set of four rows (8 total will then be displayed). Below that block will be two buttons, one to hide 4 rows and one to add 4 more rows. Clicking the Hide 4 Rows buttons will hide the last 4 rows. Clicking the Add 4 Rows buttons will add 4 more rows and below that button will be a button to Hide 4 rows. This has the same functionality as the other Hide button, always hiding the last 4 rows. Hiding the rows does not erase the data, so if you had Strain values in those rows, the Strain stat will still be impacted.

Vehicle Sheet Tab

The Vehicle tab supports SWD and SWADE vehicles.

Configuration Tab

This section is where you can modify the sheet to fit a particular setting you may be playing. Settings are grouped into:

Quick Setting Configuration--- This changes the other configuration settings as a group to match a setting.
Backgrounds
Logos
Sheet Tweaks
Derived Stats--- Stats selected here will be calculated and appear in the character tab. Examples: Corruption, Sanity.
Field Name Replacements
Skill Name Replacements
Additional Setting Fields--- Fields selected here will appear in the character tab. Examples: Augmentations, Fencing Styles.
Rules Modifications--- These change dice rolls, and derived stats. Examples: Gritty Damage, No Power Points, Use Wealth System.

All skills except Unskilled and Fighting are hidden (unselected) by default. Fighting is always visible, since it is necessary in calculating Parry.

Macros and Automation

You can make Token Macros for common rolls from the character sheet. You could create token macros for common rolls like: Notice, Fight, damage from your primary weapons, damage from your main spells.

First, get the script for the macro:

Open the Character Sheet.
Click on the Roll button (dice icon) you'd like as a token macro. For example, choose the Damage roll for the first weapon. The dice will roll and you'll see the result in the chat window.
Click in the chat window and press the Up Arrow key. The chat window will show the macro text, for example: 0 &{template:damage} {{name=@{Ishmael|character_name}}} {{source=Shariha (Knife) }} {{dmg_rank=Str+1d4+0}} {{dmg_roll=[[@{Ishmael|strength_rank}+1d4!+0 + @{Ishmael|damagemods}]]}} {{bonus_die=[[@{Ishmael|vbonusdamage}]]}} {{showap=[[1d0+]]}} {{ap=}} {{notes=Improved Trademark Weapon, +2 hit, +1 parry. 3/6/12}} {{button=y}} {{DmgRoll=[Re-Roll Damage](~-LZkrQ6g_wBtlsu7Z4sM|repeating_weapons_-Lahy6h2MHL4mPqwHHzh_dmg) }}
Copy the text from the macro window. (Don't copy the example above, it won't work for you.)

Next, add an Ability (macro) to the token:

Click back in the character sheet window and select the Attributes & Abilities tab.
In the Abilities column, click the + Add button. A New Ability row will appear. Hover it and click the pencil icon. Give the macro a name like "Slash with knife".
Paste the macro text into the main text box. Click the checkbox icon to finish.
After you've closed the macro editing box, select Show as Token Action.
Deselect the token. When you click to select it again, the token macro should appear.

Shortcut: For Attributes and built-in Skills, there is a shortcut. Hover over the attribute or skill and you'll see a tooltip like @{tAgility} or @{tAthletics}. When you create a new Ability (macro) as above, just use enter something like %{selected|tAgilityRoll} or %{selected|tAthleticsRoll}.

Useful Token Macros

With the SW-TCS you can save screen space and use macros to act without having to open the character sheet.

These scripts are mostly stored as abilities in a character sheet named "player-macros", with Can Be Edited And Controlled By = All Players. This technique makes it possible to move all the macros to another game (with the transmogrifier) and edits affect all players.

core-skills (a token macro, visible to all players)
%{player-macros|core-menu}

core-menu (ability in character sheet player-macros)
/w @{selected|token_name} &{template:info} {{name=@{selected|character_name}}}{{Core skills= [Athletics @{selected|athletics_display}](~selected|tAthleticsRoll), [Common Knowledge @{selected|commonknowledge_display}](~selected|tCommonKnowledgeRoll), [Notice @{selected|notice_display}](~selected|tNoticeRoll), [Persuasion @{selected|persuasion_display}](~selected|tPersuasionRoll), [Stealth @{selected|stealth_display}](~selected|tStealthRoll) }} {{Combat=[Fighting @{selected|fighting_display}](~selected|tFightingRoll), [Unshake @{selected|spirit_display}](~selected|unshakeRoll), [Soak @{selected|vigor_display}](~selected|tVigorRoll), [Run](~selected|runningRoll) }} {{Weapons=[@{selected|repeating_weapons_$0_weapon}](~player-macros|roll-weapon-0), [@{selected|repeating_weapons_$1_weapon}](~player-macros|roll-weapon-1) }}

Syntax: The code at the end for the weapons, roughly translates to [weapon-name-0](~roll-weapon-0), and creates a button that calls another macro.

roll-weapon-0 (an ability in player-macros)
@{selected|repeating_weapons_$0_weaponroll}

roll-weapon-1 (an ability in player-macros)
@{selected|repeating_weapons_$1_weaponroll}

Attribute Roll Formulas

All of the formulas used for the Attribute roll buttons follow the same basic formula, shown in this Agility example:

Agility Roll Formula: /em @{character_name} attempts to be agile and rolls [[{1d@{agility}![Agility], 1d@{wilddie}![Wild Die]}kh1 + @{agMod}[Agility Rank Modifier] + @{agrollMod}[Agility Roll Modifier] + @{ttmod}[Trait Test Modifiers] + @{encumbrance}[Encumbrance Penalty] - @{woundsMod}[Wounds] - @{fatigue}[Fatigue]]]

Hidden Fields: These fields are hidden but available to make it easier to make your own macros:

Field Name	Ability Macro Text
rollAgility	@{rollAgility}
rollSmarts	@{rollSmarts}
rollSpirit	@{rollSpirit}
rollStrength	@{rollStrength}
rollVigor	@{rollVigor}

The Ability macro text does not need to be enclosed in double square brackets, nor does it require a /r or /roll, because the value of each field is already a roll. Creating that macro will roll exactly as if the roll button next to each Attribute had been pressed.

Roll Templates

When you click on the character sheet for a Trait roll, the output in the Chat window is formatted by a Roll Template. When you click on the sheet for a damage roll, the output is formatted by the Damage roll template. There are many Roll Templates available and you can use them to format the output from your own macros.

Roll--- A black 2-column table used for Trait rolls
Damage--- A red 2-column table used for damage rolls
Info--- A tan 1-column table with a text field
Description--- A black 1-column table with a text field
Unshake--- Uses emote (italic, tan text) with a roll to unshake.
Running--- Uses emote with text and a roll to run.
Consumables
Emote--- Italic, tan text on a tan background.
Gritty
Statblock--- A tan 1-column table with many fields for a complete Stat Block.

Use a template by specifying the name followed by a series of field/value pairs.

&{template:roll} {{name=Mike the Portal Maker}} {{trait=Open Portal}} {{source=Spirit}} {{skill_rank=d6}} {{skill_roll=[[1d6!]]}} {{mook=[[1d0+1]]}} {{wild_die=[[1d6!]]}}

The mook field needs a 0 or 1 value, you should enter either 1d0 or 1d0+1.

Most templates have a set of fields you can use. The Info template is unique; you can send any field name you'd like and it will show in the output.

Damage Roll Template

This will put a 'Reroll' button at the bottom of the damage template. Be sure to change the part that says '~test|Work-the-room' to the name of the character sheet and name of the macro you add this to.

{{button=y}} {{DmgRoll=[Reroll](~test|Work-the-room)}}
