The official NWoD sheet has all of the functionality of a pen and paper character sheet and much more. Certain aspects of the sheet have been stream lined or automated to remove bookkeeping and speed up gameplay. The key features are auto-calculations, dynamically selected rolls, and roll templates. The sheet defaults to using 1st edition New World of Darkness but supports, Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Promethean, Changeling, Geist, and Mummy, as well as second edition World of Darkness and Vampire.
+
 
+
==Auto Calculations==
+
There are many parts of the sheet that will automatically calculate derived traits, such as Health, Willpower, Speed, Defense, and much more. All of these calculations are done using the rules as listed, depending on which template and edition is chosen from the Settings tab. These automatic calculations can be edited based on merits and or house rules from the Settings tab.
+
 
+
==Dice Roller==
+
[[file:diceroller.png|right]]
+
The Dice Roller can dynamically roll any combination of attributes, skills, and powers. There are four quadrants inside the dice roller. The upper left quadrant shows a d10, ten sided dice. Clicking on this icon will roll with whatever dice roller options you have selected. Underneath the icon in the lower left quadrant is a quick preview of what attributes, skills, and powers are being rolled. The right quadrants are the roll options, including three methods of dice rolls in the upper right and explosion threshold options in the lower right.
+
 
+
===Sheet Roll===
+
A Sheet Roll will use whichever attributes, skills, or powers that are currently checked on the character sheet. To check a stat simple click on its name. You can tell that a stat is checked when it becomes highlighted with its game's color. The sheet is intelligent enough to predict a legal roll. For example, if you have Strength and Athletics selected and then choose a different skill like Brawl, the sheet will deselect Athletics for you.
+
 
+
Both the Vampire and Mage templates have pre-listed powers. You can select them in Sheet Rolls like attributes and skills. For other games, due to the large number of abilities, you'll have to set up your powers and other unusual rolls on Page 2 as described later in this guide.
+
 
+
===Attack Roll===
+
An Attack Roll is made using the Weapon/Attack that is currently selected on the bottom of the sheet. The roll is determined by the weapon and edition you're playing.

+

+

Depending on what you choose certain game mechanics will be automatically calculated differently, such as combat damage, initiative, and more.
