Changes to Roll20 RuneQuest community sheet

[dvdmacateer]

Roll20 has recently released a Character Sheet Enhancement update.  This update has made changes that effect the layout of  a large number of community sheets.  Changes will have to be made to all of these sheets to stop layouts breaking.  Currently there is a setting that has been added so that custom sheets are not effected but as we have seen Roll20 can do things that effect users and creators with little or no warning. 

I am currently working on changing the sheet so that layout does not break in the future. I need volunteers who will test the changes I have made to stop the layout breaking.   If you are interested in doing this please send me a PM/DM and will send you an invite.

YIKES! I suppose I had better volunteer since I have two active campaigns and I depend on that sheet a lot. 

[RandomNumber]

I'm in. I'm about to start a campaign with it this weekend.

[dvdmacateer]

OK thanks to everyone who has been testing. Things have moved beyond the layout changes and I need and to do some more work and as well as test  what I have currently and check everything is functioning as it should be in sheet sandbox which only sheet creators have access too.

Happy to test anything on Roll20, feel free to DM if you need

Thanks a lot for your hard work!!! 👏
Question: if I wanted to translate the sheet into another language, how would I need to do that?

Initial checks look good! I’ve asked all of my players to confirm with their own characters.

Thank you!

I'm preparing adventurers for tonight's game as we speak. The sheet looks good.

I'm not sure what default box on a weapon line means though. When I check it and roll, it halves the skill used (90% broadsword rolls as 45%). It may have been like this before and I've just never used it. Unless there is another explanation for what this is?

It's for using one skill as the default for another weapon. E.g if the adventurer is using a Kopis captured from the perfidious Lunars during a daring escape but doesn’t have any training in Kopis. You'd set up the weapons row with Kopis as the weapon, Broadsword as the skill, and the default check box ticked.

Ooh, is that for Assistant Shamans and the like? Where do I find that on the sheet?

It's been there from the start.

p.g. 207 
Weapon Categories
Each of the weapons tables (page 208–209) list melee weapons by categories (such as 1H Sword). An adventurer
can use any other melee weapon in the same weapon category (such as 1H Axe, Fist, 1H Sword, etc.) at 1/2 the skill rating of the best skill the adventurer has in that category

Explanation of Headings
STR/DEX: The minimum necessary STR and DEX required to handle the weapon. An excess of STR makes up for a lack of DEX, on a 2 for 1 basis. Thus, an adventurer with a 10 STR and a 12 DEX can use a rapier (which requires a 7 STR and a 13 DEX). If both STR and DEX are below the requirements, all attacks and parries with the weapon are performed at half skill

The sheet I'm using is this version

How do I upgrade to the new one?

[dvdmacateer]

You shouldn't have to do anything unless you have a sheet open from before yesterday. Something always gets missed in this case the version number.

Thanks @dvdmacateer, I have no idea how I missed that in my previous checks. Very useful to have!

That brilliant, thank you! I might have spotted one other issue, a critical crush should do max weapon damage, plus max damage bonus plus max damage bonus again (according to the Well of Daliath). This looks to roll one of the damage bonus dice.

This is correct. Max weapon plus max db twice

Note I set the mace to D4 damage so I could see it against the other rolls:

This would appear to be the case, I would expect 4+6+6.

Note however this error will have little effect on the game as a 1H mace would actually do 8+6+1D6, so 15-20 not 20 damage, with no armour protection. The target is likely to be dead or incapacitated anyway.

...interesting to see what it does with negative damage modifiers. At my table, I think I would ignore any negative damage modifier on a critical crush. I think applying -8 on a critical hit to someone who has a -1D4 damage modifier would be a little unfair! Even -2 (counting -1 as the "max" of -1 to -4) would be rough.

Fixed. But won't show up until the next merge.

Max damage bonus  is set to zero for negative damage bonus but specials will roll the negative damage.

There’s now a space next to the system-calculated Spirit Combat damage where you can add a modifier.

I will note as an amusing aside that my players have been extremely grateful for this rule during the first year of the Grove of Green Rock when the comedy troupe, er, the trollkin skirmishers criticalled with their slings.... and no damage bonus. 😂

I'm rather looking forward to the second year of that scenario which I have altered somewhat to play to certain characters abilities and which will involve me describing one opponent as the ugliest glittering flying disco ball that they’ve ever seen...
