Roll20 D&D 2024 Beta Character Sheet Overview

[@Deadshot15]

Thanks Nick. I look forward to take the sheet for a spin and kicking the tires. As always, your explanations are clear and concise. Much appreciated!.

[@David_Gallaher]

A special Sunday episode !!! 😮

[@drivers99]

What are the yellow exclamation marks? I was seeing those at the bottom like in your video but also other places.

[@NickOlivo]

I think it means you haven't completely filled out that section.

[@SlicesnDices]

Question -- why aren't the monsters that I've either made from scratch or dragged from the compendium to my game (previous to changing to the new sheet) changing to the 2024 NPC format? When I change them, it's showing a standard "Dungeons & Dragons- Your Adventure Begins Here!" sheet asking me what kind of character to make...

[@NickOlivo]

I think it depends on what sheet was used when the game was created. If you make a new game & choose the 2024 sheet, it should default to that for monsters & NPCs.

How do i set max hp when editing the sheet directly?

[@parkerwatson4247]

Sadly the only way I have found to do it is go into the cogwheel where the hitpoint tab is then type what you want it to be into "Other Max HP Bonus" and save it. It feels so clunky and counter-intuitive I hope they make it easier

[@fateric007]

Are we able to make custom subclasses for this sheet?

[@NickOlivo]

Do you mean adding things to the compendium so you can drag and drop them onto the sheet? If so, no, I don't believe so.

[@littleteeth65]

How do I add macros to my monsters???

[@NickOlivo]

That's not supported just yet, but I understand it's coming.

[@dragenfoo]

Hey Nick! I'm having trouble adding the right resource to my “features and Traits” . It seems to allow me to add a Resource value, but not the type, such as “short rest or long rest” and it sets any abilities I add as short rest no matter what I try. I'm going to fall in love with you if you are able to help me out! thanks ahead of time.

[@NickOlivo]

I don't think that's available on the sheet just yet - but Roll20's been adding more functionality to the sheet regularly, so hopefully it'll be there soon. Happy gaming!

[@NotMonofon]

The 2024 character sheet is quite buggy for me

[@danielnicolas6256]

Greetings @nickolivo. I have a question, with the 2024 D&D character sheet, the new format on roll20, etc. I wonder if all the API scripts and such will still be applicable. I would appreciate a reply whenever you are able. Thank you.

[@NickOlivo]

That's a great question, and definitely one that I'm watching closely. I'll keep everyone posted on what I learn. Thanks for watching and happy gaming!

[@David_Gallaher]

@@NickOlivo in my recent experience, API scripts using FX are not yes available but common API scripts like Token Mod are

[@danielnicolas6256]

@@NickOlivo I'm just worried that all the years that you and others who have been on roll 20 using the API scripts, tooltips and such would taken away by the new format.

[@hawkname1234]

Thanks Nick. Great stuff, as always. Boy I hope they support differently formatted sheets. I hate how that looks. So much visual distraction. So much wasted space.

[@NickOlivo]

Glad you liked the video! Definitely let Roll20 know what you think on this forum - app.roll20.net/forum/post/11793851/announcing-the-new-character-sheet-for-d-and-d-2024#post-11997991

[@explorer47422]

Is this sheet using the new 2024 D&D rules?

[@hawkname1234]

Yes. However, I noticed Nick picked a 3rd party Background that doesn't come with a starting Feat and the Charactermancer did not prompt him to pick a starting Feat. Clearly a lot of the logic has not been written yet.

[@NickOlivo]

Yes, but because the 2024 books haven't been released yet, it's using the 2014 sources.

[@stephenklien]

@@hawkname1234…as well as the ability score bonuses… +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1. Seems important when using a standard array.

[@danielnicolas6256]

Greetings @nickolivo. I am a ttrpg enthusist and player, I have enjoyed all your videos and explainations. I would like your opinion, should I buy all the content directly from d&d beyond or buy them from roll 20?. I am torn because both have their improvements and uses. I would appreciate a reply whenever you are able. Thank you.

[@NickOlivo]

Hi there! I’m glad the vids have been helpful! To your question - honestly, it depends on how you plan to use the material. If you’re going to run the majority of your games on Roll20, then having the materials there are a big time saver. But if you don’t run much on Roll20, then you may be better off having them in another source/format.

[@David_Gallaher]

I encourage you to buy the material from Roll20 which is a largely system agnostic platform

[@danielnicolas6256]

@@David_Gallaher sure but what if I play or buy more than just D&D, what if it's pathfinder or others. I don't want to run out of space or fill up my content too fast. Because I think it's like what 10GB of space?

[@hawkname1234]

@@danielnicolas6256 Purchased content does not count against your storage limits and never will. That's just a limit on what you can upload.

[@danielnicolas6256]

@@hawkname1234 Oh okay thank you for the clarification.

[@Satchmojones]

Not a fan of this sheet, if i wanted a dnd beyond sheet i would subscribe and play on dnd beyond.

​​@@NickOlivoi have nick, thanks. I dont think it will make a differance though., one of my critiques was already deleted from these comments...saying anything against the status quo nowadays is indeed frowned upon and silenced, your allowed opinions as long as they are the right opinions. Also thanks for your tireless work, your videos have improved my games over the years and allowed me to become a better dm. Happy gaming to you!

[@abrahamwalton8244]

Yeah, my whole campaign crew aren't fans of the Layout of the sheet either, very confusing mess, but it's a nice touch that a lot of the math is done for you now.
