[QUOTE="Chris633, post: 7464645, member: 6779018"] I can only speak to FG. When I used roll20 I only used it to share pictures and as a combat map. FG isn’t beholden to a system. Even using 5E, you apply the rules as you see fit as GM. You can automate combat as much or as little as you want. You can let the program calculate things or you can do everything yourself. When you choose 5E at the selection screen, it basically just tells the program what character sheets to generate, monster templates to expect and calculations to run. So when you drop an attack onto an enemy, it knows how to calculate a hit and tell you if it is a crit. Each player in FG has a character sheet right in the program. If you have the 5E players guide, you can drag and drop levels directly to the sheet and it will do all the calculations. Some stuff still needs to be entered manually. You can then export/import your character if needed. [/QUOTE]
