General Information

This sheet is designed for use in Roll20 to play the Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader pen & paper RPG by Fantasy Flight Games. Based on the Dark Heresy 2nd Edition Character Sheet created by Daniel D., Michael R and Samuel L.

This sheet does NOT require API Scripts (and should stay that way).

This sheet is best displayed on the Roll20 supported browsers Chrome and Firefox, at 100% Zoom (no zoom) and inside the Roll20 game screen, however it can be expanded or displayed on an external window with no problems, most elements will stretch-out to fill the screen without breaking or overlapping.

• Current Version: 1.2
• Released: 03/25/21

Most white text areas can be hidden or displayed by checking the corresponding checkbox, the checkboxes themselves have a tooltip to let you know what they do.

Many fields also have tooltips that show important information, for example: in the Talents tab, the advancements section "Total XP Spent", putting the cursor over it will reveal a list that serves as guideline to determine a character's rank. In addition many fields and macros have a ( 🛈 ) icon that contain rule reminders and other tips. More info about that in the tab section.

The sheet is split into 8 Tabs that are located below the Universal Header, click on different tabs to switch.

Universal Header

The New Universal Header now contains Player/Character name, Characteristics (including advancements and Bonus), Fate Points, 3 Quick Skill selectors and Fatigue.

• Characteristic numbers are filled in the Starting Field and the Adv. Checkboxes at the bottom add +5 each, the number displayed is a scripted calculation of those 2 values (see Known Issues for troubleshooting.)

• At the right corner of the characteristic number, you will find the Characteristic Bonus field (the grey curved square) you must fill these fields according to the rules you may be using, important macros use those values. (E.g: Str. Bonus for melee weapons)

• Fate Points now has a scripted +/- Buttons to adjust the current FP of the character, also the ( 🛈 ) icon has a tooltip with info on what you can do with Fate Points.

• Quick Skill Selectors now allow you to select up to 3 of your most used skills for quick access, this is intended to reduce the need for Tab switching. You must set up the skill bonuses (basic, trained, other bonuses, etc...) on the Skills Tab first.

• Fatigue Also have scripted +/- buttons to adjust the current level of fatigue, it also has a ( 🛈 ) icon with a tooltip, with info on how fatigue affects the character. Fatigue now has a Checkbox that when marked, will add a -10 penalty to all Characteristics (this is a workaround solution to the original rules), this penalty is visible on your characteristic scores above.

Tabs

Skills

The Skills tab contains Basic Skills, Advanced Skills, Skill Groups (including custom) and Profit Factor(PF).

• All Skills and Skill Groups now have a ( 🛈 ) icon with a tooltip that contains info on how to use said skills and what categories they belong.

• Basic and Advanced skills are very straight forward, the base value is calculated based on the Characteristic number.

• Basic skills will roll with half the characteristic value if not "trained" (checkbox) by default.

• Advanced Skills will always roll 0 unless the "Basic" or "trained" checkbox is checked, to use full characteristic, both basic and trained must be checked. (read the skill rules for clarification.)

• Skill Groups are now divided into their respective classifications according to the core rules, each with their own repeating fields.

• At the bottom you can also add Custom Skills not contemplated on the original game rules.

• The Profit Factor section contains the Acquisition Test Macro, the macro is self explanatory. Results wise, getting degrees of failure indicates the acquisition failed.

Armour & Defense

• Armour Section has the AP field on top, the bottom is an Auto-calc of the AP + TB (from the Universal Header).

• Psychic Phenomena rolls a 1d100 +10 for every power sustained, remember to add the appropriate modifier if the psyker is Pushing.

• Perils of the Warp roll and Perils table are split due to difficulties implementing a rule called "Soul-bound" that allows the psyker to roll 3 separate dice to select a more favorable result. You must input the result from the perils roll on the Perils table to the see the effects.

• Only input base Psy Rating in the Psy Rating field, since the psy powers macros have PR modifiers in the technique fields.

NPCs

This tab is a much simplified compact sheet used to add minor NPCs or companions to the character. Can add multiple NPCs.

• This tab does not have as much functionality as the main sheet, there are no auto-calc fields here, Only exception is STR mod in NPC melee weapons.
• Due to limitations in how Repeating fields cannot be placed inside Repeating fields, this tab does not have them since the whole tab is a repeating field.
• As above mentioned, this allows you to add multiple minor NPCs in a single character sheet.
• For more complex NPCs / Enemies, We strongly recommend you to create separate characters with their own sheets.
• You can hide the whole NPC section by checking the checkbox in the upper middle section, uncheck to reveal.
• NPC do not trigger Righteous Fury as per the rules, thus there is no RF macro in the NPC weapons section.

Dice Interpretation

Percentile dice rolls follow this basic formula

(@{characteristic}+?{modifiers}-1d100cs1cf100)/10

Critical Success (cs1) and Critical Failure (cf100) were added to better represent the roll colors, Red for fumble, green for critical.

The roll template interprets any positive result as a success (including 0) any negative results are failures, the results are divided by 10 (by the macro) to provide the Degree(s) of Success (or failure).

The results have decimal numbers, this is intentional just ignore them

• We encountered a significant limitation with the macro math round/ceil/floor function.
• Positive results when rounded down (floor) give an accurate result:

Target: 40   Roll Result: 54  "[[54-40/10]]" = 1.4 (floor) = 1 Degree of Success

• Negative results when rounded down (floor) give an inaccurate result:

Target: 40   Roll Result: 24  "[[24-40/10]]" = -1.6 (floor) = -2 Degrees of Failure. (Actual Result would be -1 Degree of Failure)

• (ceil) and (floor) functions cannot be combined in the same roll without some overly complicated conditional statements/scripts. Authors do not plan change this.

Custom Macros using the Roll Template

If you want to create your own custom macros using this character sheet's Roll Template use template &{template:custom}

• The first line uses {{name=}} This is the first line of the macro when displayed on the Chat.
• The roll result line uses {{result=}} This activates the Roll Template Degree(s) of Success (or Failure) Check.
• The description field uses {{desc=}} The text here will be centered, be sure to remove any spaces in between lines for better display.
• The other lines simply follow {{insert title here = insert value here}} Same as the Roll20's Default Template.

Useful Attributes for tokens

Here are some suggestions when linking Attributes to token bubbles

Character

• "Wounds" (character current wounds)
• "Fate" (character current FP)
• "fatiguecurrent" (character current fatigue points)
• "HalfMove, FullMove, ChargeMove, RunMove" (movement statistics)
• "CustomHalfMove, CustomFullMove, CustomChargeMove, CustomRunMove" (custom movement statistics)
• "WBS, BSB, SB, TB, AB, IB, PB, WPB, FB" (characteristic bonus)

Ship

• "Hullintegrity" (ships current Hull Integrity)

List is incomplete will continue later.

Known Issues

Firefox Browser issues

Issues with the sheet using Firefox browser have been reported has of 3/30/21

• Solution: Try opening the sheet using, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Brave browser (Chromium)
• This is very likely NOT related to the sheet's code, but the Roll20 site instead.

Old Skill Groups Disappeared

Unfortunately this happened due to a change in the sheets code (Ver 1.2) that was unexpected.

• No solution for this issue available at this time, players will have to add the skill groups manually again in the new fields.
• It is possible that some of that information is still preserved in the "Attributes and Abilities" Tab of the character sheet. Check this tab before adding the skills again.

Characteristic number value Error

This issue is considered resolved as of Ver 1.2

Characteristic number value displayed does not match the inline roll value. This is a flaw based on the way the character sheet saves some values as static numbers.

• Solution: Switch to the "Attributes and Abilities" tab (on top of the universal header) and DELETE all values from the core characteristics:

-WeaponSkill -BallisticSkill -Strength -Toughness -Agility -Intelligence -Perception -Willpower -Fellowship.

The sheet then will auto calculate the values based on starting value + the advancements checkboxes.

Powers Sustained number value Error

This issue is considered resolved as of Ver 1.2

Powers Sustained number value displayed does not match the inline roll value This is a flaw based on the way the character sheet saves some values as static numbers.

• Solution: Switch to the "Attributes and Abilities" tab (on top of the universal header) and DELETE the attribute called "sustainingpowertotal". This will reset the Powers sustained number.

Available Carry Capacity not updating after removing gear

This only happens when you remove gear from the list by deleting the item.

• Solution: Switching tabs makes the sheet update this number, also checking any checkbox on the combat tab does the trick too.

Roll template in chat not properly displayed

You may notice that the roll template does not seem properly centered/displayed when presented on the chat, this visual bug is caused by the "Enable Chat Avatars" option in the "My settings" tab of the game options.

• Solution: disable this option for proper display.

Current and Future Update

Ver 1.2 see all changes at: https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/pull/8578

Possible Updates:

• Complete Revision of Roll template for success and failure checks (will require massive macro redesign)
• Add and Modify button text replaced by icons (requires further testing)
• Quick attack macro selectors for ranged and melee weapons inspired by the Only War Advanced Sheet.
• Possibilities to integrate GM rolls into the sheet.
