Overview

The D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet, sometimes referred to as the 5e Shaped Character Sheet, is for use in the Roll20 system during Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition gameplay. It is based on the design of the original D&D 5e Character Sheet by John Myles. Modifications have been made to the original design to present the information in a more concise, readable way so that users can find information quickly.

Please see the Character Sheet wiki page for general information about setting and using character sheets. To use this sheet in your game, select Dungeons and Dragons: 5th Edition (Shaped) in your game settings.

The shaped sheet includes both a Player (PC) and an NPC option. The pertinent option can be toggled in the upper left of the sheet. The Player sheet is green when toggled on and the NPC sheet is purple when toggled on. Whether the PC or NPC sheet, there are various tabs in blue just below the header information and when selected will show the active tab in the window below it. The currently selected tab is a darker blue than the other tabs. The gear icon tab is a settings tab which modifies various things about the sheet as a whole. Finally, if you click on the Show All tab, every tab is shown at once and the various sections are seen by scrolling down the page.

The purpose of this wiki is to describe in detail the attributes, rolls and details of each of the PC and NPC tabs; Core Stats, Weapons, Spellbook, Background, Class, Armor, Inventory, Settings, Show All, and Traits & Actions.

There is an option in the top right of the sheet to present the sheet in English or German languages.

If you are starting fresh with the D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet, just enter your character information as normal. If you are converting from the original D&D 5e Character Sheet, see the next section about which things have changed and will need to be edited.

Changes from Original 5e Sheet

While most items remain the same from John Myle's original sheet, various things have been modified and will need to be re-entered in the sheet if converting.

In the Player Character Sheet, the following will need to be altered

  • Armor - will need to be completely re-entered
  • Vision - will need to be completely re-entered
  • Spells - allows for categorization by Prepared, Ritual, and Concentration
  • Class specific
    • Expertise - will need to be toggled in the skills section
    • Jack of All Trades - will need to be toggled in the skills section


The NPC Character Sheet does not allow for much anything to cross over. However, the old NPC sheet is included and there is a an import script that allows for NPC characters to be imported to the NPC sheet.

Update Instructions

The character sheet will update about every week to the newest version. However, if you wish to manually update to the sheet, please follow these instructions. You must be a Roll20 Pro account holder in order to perform these actions.

  1. Go to Github and open the RAW html and css files.
  2. Copy the html content from github.
  3. In your Roll20 game, go to the game settings and choose a custom character sheet.
  4. In the HTML tab of your game settings, paste the html code you just copied.
  5. Copy the css content from github.
  6. In the CSS tab of your game settings, paste the css code you just copied.
  7. Click Save.

See above section for the color or formatting used to represent fields and attributes in the sheet.

D&D 5e Shaped Sheet tabs

Header

The Header is a common section of the Player and NPC sheets. It is at the top of the sheet and is always shown no matter which tab is active. It allows for general information with simple text entry fields save for a few. Then non calculated fields can be referenced by attribute but they are not used in any other calculations within the various tabs.

Core

The Core page is the first tab of thesheet and is probably where the player will spend the most time. Not only does it contain information on character abilities, health, and initiative but it also has the ability to quickly access weapon and attack macros, spell slots, class resources, and conveniently add buffs and debuffs. It is available in both the Player and NPC options of the sheet. Hit Dice options

Show All

The Show All tab allows all the previous tabs to be shown at once. Selecting this tab will stack in order from left to right the tabs and list them from top to bottom. The window can then be scrolled down to see or edit any and all the information of the various tabs.

Attributes and Macros

Using Attributes

An attribute is a reference to a value inherent to the character. The simplest example is the character's strength but a more complex example is the character's attack modifier for a particular weapon or a skill check modifier taking into account expertise. The attributes within a sheet can be used to create custom macros for or by the players. Note that not only values can be used in macros but text attributes can be used as well.

The Attributes section of the wiki has valuable information on using attributes within macros. To use the Shaped Character Sheet attributes the syntax is:

@{name|attribute}

where name is the name of the character sheet, not the token. You can also use selected or target in place of name. This is a core functionality of Roll20 and is described in their appropriate wiki sections.

If the attribute is calculated then it will need to be used within an inline roll or the attribute will be listed as its formula and not actually calculated. Incidentally, using a calculated attribute outside of an inline roll is a way to determine its parts. An example syntax of using a calculated attribute is:

[[@{name|calculated_attribute}]]

Calculated attributes are noted as such and listed as Template:D5eshaped in the following sections.

Using Macros

The Shaped sheet has various macros available for use by the player. These are noted by dark blue clickable buttons usually containing a white image of a die but there are white heart images for saves and white check mark images for skill checks. Each of these macros has a name which can be called alone or as part of another macro. Note that the macros in the Shaped sheet are utilizing the 5e Roll Template also embedded in the sheet. Calling the macro will output the macro in its roll template format. More details about the Roll Template can be seen in its section.

The macros section of the Roll20 wiki has valuable information on using macros in general. To use the Shaped Character Sheet macros the syntax is:

%{name|macro}

where name is the name of the character sheet, not the token. You can also use selected or target in place of name. This is a core functionality of Roll20 and is described in their appropriate wiki sections.

Information on using general roll templates can be found at the Roll20 wiki.

The Shaped Character Sheet for 5e Roll Template is described by the following syntax

&{template:5eDefault} {{field=value}} {{...}} ...

The table below describes the fields, their values, and their effect. The field and value must be set equal and enclosed in curly brackets as illustrated above. Certain fields require that other fields are present. Most users ensure they are present by setting their values to 1 and this practice is used in the table below. In reality, their values can be anything. A value of 'any' means that the field excepts any type of value, numbers, letters, die rolls, attributes, etc. A value of die roll means that typically a die roll is used for input but again, this value can be anything.
