[QUOTE="Iosue, post: 7693146, member: 6680772"] After months of playing things fast and loose, using Roll20 basically as a map and dice roller, but ignoring probably 90% of its functionality, I decided to buckle down and fully fill out the 5e community-built character sheets and NPC sheets, and utilize common macros. [i]Just[/i] when I finally got all the PCs done and was working on monsters and NPCs, I looked something up and came across the new character sheet and Compendium. The drag-and-drop feature was too good to pass up. So, some thoughts. It's still a little buggy. The spell Blindness/Deafness shows up when you search for it, but there's no information. Sometimes a monster doesn't fully auto-populate when you drag it to the NPC sheet. On NPC sheet, you're limited on how many actions you can add; eventually, it doesn't scroll down far enough for the "Add" button to pop up. Still, accounting for the learning curve, and how it differs from the old community built sheet, it's pretty good. It follows the form of the official character sheet, which makes for ease of use. Ability checks, skill checks, saving throws, and attacks are all on the same page, you don't even really have to scroll down. You don't have to, say, go to the Attack tab and click a button. You just hover your mouse over the attack, and click when it turns red. The Compendium is super useful, especially for quick rule look up during the game. I'm just hoping the documentation gets filled out soon. [/QUOTE]
