From Roll20 Wiki
There are 9 roll templates provided by the D&D 5e OGL character sheet by Roll20.

General Notes
- Anything that says it toggles something off/on means that if you put anything after the "=", including a space, that feature is turned on, if there is nothing after the "=", then it is off.
- The macros using atk, simple, npcatk, and atkdmg generated by the sheet utilize @{rtype} in place of {{always/normal/advantage/disadvantage=1}} {{r2=[[1d20. This attribute would allow you to link whether a second d20 is rolled or not to what the settings of your sheet are.
- The roll templates have a hard-coded size and will not scale if the chat pane is resized or (with the exception of the description fields and fields in the NPC templates) if a field's contents are larger than the field's space in the template output.
Style Differences
The D&D 5e OGL sheet has different styling depending on if you are using it in a custom D&D 5e game or in a game started from a module (such as Lost Mines of Phandelver or Storm King's Thunder). These styling differences extend to the output of the roll templates, but do not change the syntax described below for using the roll template.
