This is one of the best upgrades to D&D players. But still, only Acolyte as background makes me see that there is lots of information missing. Being a new asset, it is okay, this will be a HUGE ADD-ON when options from the Three basic books will be brought!
I know your comment is old, but I think this is valuable information for anyone reading along: The base charactermancer, just like the base compendium, only has options that are available in the SRD 5.1. Feats are an optional rule, so the only feat in the SRD is the grappler rule. Similarly, bacgrounds are something players/DMs are expected to come up with on their own so the SRD has only a single feat in the form of the Grappler feat. The SRD also does not provide rules for how to generate ability scores outside of rolling iirc. This would mean that the charactermancer does not support players in how to use for example point-buy. Manual input is your option here. To get ALL the options you know from the Player's Handbook or other options, you will need to buy the Roll20 version of those books on the Roll20 marketplace. Otherwise you'll be limited to SRD options meaning certain spells/monsters/magic items from the core rules will be missing and each race/class will only have one sub-race/sub-class.
Hi @DBellBoi, when you created your game did you choose a character sheet? That might be the culprit right there. Check out this link on choosing a character sheet: ruclips.net/video/Ob0g4Z0tnW8/видео.html If you already created your game, on the game Launch page choose settings and then Game Settings. You'll see a CHARACTER SHEET TEMPLATE dropdown. Choose D&D 5E by Roll20 and save changes.
I've a question: how do you add drop downs to the abilities section. I want to select stats based on rolls. How do I do that application. Do I need a specific item in my compendium?
Since your question is quite old at this point, I'm guessing you know this already. But if anybody else has the same question: You go into your premade character sheet (click the character's name) and hit "Edit" in the upper right corner. In the new window, you have "Can be edited and controlled by" and you put your player's name into that. Don't forget to also enter their name in "In Player's Journal", otherwise they cannot see the character. This also works for NPCs or any other creatures so long as they have a character sheet.
“Fill out a character sheet” you mean learn a whole new way of doing everything that’s not intuitive at all. I could make a character on paper or on dndbeyond in 1/10 the time

@@patrickhansen1287 damn that sucks, but still it does make sense. Makes it kinda just another dnd beyond imo
The use charactermancer button just isnt there.
if you edit the character sheet on your own will it level up as the game progresses, or will i have to keep going to edit it?
I created a game and did these steps but the "Character Sheet" tab does not appear for me. Is it because I am the GM?
i'm also having this issue

i cant drag and drop the information for the npc as the npc character sheet comes up on a different window entially
I am having the same problem.
I've a question: how do you add drop downs to the abilities section. I want to select stats based on rolls. How do I do that application. Do I need a specific item in my compendium?
How do you get the compendium on your game if your the DM . Don’t see the icon on my menu.
Does this work for only 5 edition not 3.5 ?
so at 1:32 i go to character sheet and all i m getting is a black screen tried refreshing it is not working plz help
same here
Wait! Why can’t you choose the level? How do you multiclass?
You add levels one at a time after initial creation.
How do I assign a pre made character to a player?

There is no tab "Character Sheet." Just "Bio & Info" and "Att. & Abil.".........................smh
You guys still haven't added everything from the phb into the game
what are they missing? if you havent payed for the PHB then you will be limited to the SRD standard ruled database.
@@xaxzander4633 Not the PHB, but I'm still waiting for the Elemental Evil Player's Guide to be added to Roll20.
Kachaw, check me out
This is all fake. The "character sheet' button you're supposed to click just straight up isn't anywhere
Yeah, it's not. WTF
From the comments and what I've heard so far, Roll20 is complete garbage lol
Not at all true, the problem is lazy people who don't know how to fill out a character sheet anymore without D&D Beyond doing it for them.
“Fill out a character sheet” you mean learn a whole new way of doing everything that’s not intuitive at all. I could make a character on paper or on dndbeyond in 1/10 the time
It’s a complete mess compared to dndbeyond
