Intro
Genesys is a Generic Role Playing Game System. It was borne out of the system that Fantasy Flight Games made for a Star Wars RPG.
NOTE: This is a direct port of the FFG-Star-Wars-API-Compatible Character Sheet and Dice Roller. As such, lots of the code is still referring to star wars stuff. If you want to remove that, please do, but I just made this to attempt to fill a need in the community, not to spend all my time trying to make it 100% perfect. Hopefully it helps you and your games.

The HTML file
The HTML file tells your Browser how the Character Sheet is displayed.
- Controls the layout of the sheet.
- Controls where there are buttons on the sheet.
- Controls what tabs/sections are available on the sheet.
The CSS file
The CSS file modifies how the Browser sees the HTML file.
- Controls the colors of the sheet.
- Controls the size of the sheet.
- controls the font of the sheet.
The Translation file
The Translation file allows the display of the Character Sheet in other languages.
- Takes the labels and makes them able to be translated into other languages easier.
The js file
The js file is a javascript file that handles the Dice rolling and all the active parts of the character sheet.
- Controls the Dice rolling.
- Creates blank character sheets assigned to the Player.

Known Issues
- The Dice Suggestions feature is not fully setup for Genesys skills. It has data from the Star Wars RPG system and has a lot of data that is not quick to update to new rules.
