[QUOTE="turnip_farmer, post: 8413194, member: 7029365"] You say that 2nd edition is not available on Roll20, but there's a great character sheet available with all the dice roll macros setup. You don't have a compendium, but do you really need one? It'll take a little longer to set up a character sheet, but it's not like players have loads of spells to set up. For NPCs, you don't really need a character sheet, since you're always rolling d% or d10. Of course, character sheets can help speed things up, and I think setting them up without a compendium is actually an invaluable exercise if you're new to the system. I say this because I'm just starting the same campaign on Roll20 for 2nd edition. I set up sheets for every NPC, which involved copying (or rather summarising) everyone's talents. The great thing about this is that doing so cements in your mind how everything works. I no longer write out any descriptions, since by the fifth time you try to summarise as succinctly as possible the procedure for using [I]Strike to Stun[/I] or [I]Disarm[/I] you have it memorised. It's excellent prep for running a new system without the need to reference your books constantly. [/QUOTE]
