Roll20 Character Sheet for Adventurer Conqueror King System, by Autarch

This is a Roll20 specific character sheet designed for use with the Adventurer Conqueror King System, Imperial Imprint (ACKS II) OSR RGP, by Autarch.

Version 3.3

This is v3 of the character sheet, for supporting ACKS II.
With ACKS II in beta, the current rules version refereced is v109.
Many small changes to this sheet were needed.
Several optional rules references not specifically included in ACKS II were removed from the sheet. E.G., base healing rate.
Some changes made to how attacks are executed on the Combat tab.
The Hirelings tab was overhauled to include loyalty and obedience checks.
The sheet was styled.
Sheet layout/tabs were changed for usability
Class global modifiers was updated to reflect ACKS II class abilities.
The Overview tab's Saving Throws section was completely overhauled.

How to Install the Character Sheet

In Github, go to Code. Click the Code button and select "Download ZIP". Unzip to your local computer.
In Roll 20, click Create New Game and select Custom from the Optional: Choose Character Sheet drop-down menu.
Once the game is created, go to Settings > Game Settings.
Under Character Sheet Template...
1. Within the HTML Layout tab, paste in the contents of charactersheet.html.
2. Within the CSS Styiling tab, paste in the contents of charactersheet.css. If desired, update the .charsheet { background-image } style with an image URL of your choosing.
3. Ensure that Legacy Sanitation is NOT checked.
Save your changes and launch the game.

Note that configuration of API scripts and macros is additional work not covered in these instructions. See Roll20 forums for more help.

This sheet does not yet support translation.

How to Use the Character Sheet

Generate an ACKS character.
On the Overview tab, enter the character's basic info and its generated attributes. Save each attribute's Nominal value in the Max column of the Roll20 sheet's Attributes & Abilities tab. Generate the character's hit points and save the value in both Hit Point fields.
On the Class tab, input any class-specific modifiers and a desired class description.
On the Studious tab, enter class-specific spell slot and spell description information. (If the character is not a studious spellcaster, this tab can be hidden on the Settings tab.)
On the Prayerful tab, enter class-specific code of behavior, spell slot, and spell description information. (If the character is not a prayerful spellcaster, this tab can be hidden on the Settings tab.)
Enter the appropriate information on the Combat tab, based on the character's equipment and other characteristics. Enter the character's melee and missile attack options. Use one line-item for each attack type, combination, and/or damage formula. Check the (equipped) checkboxes to indicate which attacks are available at any given time.
On the Skills tab, enter the character's selected proficiency information and any additional ability information desired. (Note: Use the !AddSkills custom API script to pre-populate common abiltiies and proficiencies - see later in this document.)
On the Equipment tab, save the character's current equipment. This information is optional for NPCs and monsters.
On the Wealth tab, save the character's coinage info, monthly budget, and passive investments, if any. This information is optional for NPCs and monsters.
Use the Hirelings tab to keep track of Henchmen, Mercenaries, and Specialists in the character's employ.
Use the Journal tab to capture additional information such as background, appearance, languages spoken, injuries, and property. The Adventure Notes can be used by the player to keep track of miscellaneous details. The GM uses the Experience Log to input earned experience after the character completes an expedition.
The GM can use the Settings tab to customize or modify certain core base traits used in sheet calculations, such as bas movement rate, encumbrance thresholds, and earned XP modifiers.
Use the whisper toggle to send any Roll20 Chat window output as a whisper to oneself. Otherwise, any such Chat output is viewable by all.

Sheet Variable Manifest

This section details all fields and controls on the sheet and how they are calculated, used, etc.

IMPORTANT: All buttons on the sheet require that a token is selected in order to function. This is to support the use of the Actions macro (which is a highly recommended alternative for players to access their sheet buttons).
Why doesn't this sheet support more automation? - ACKS II is a sandbox RPG system. This means that a GM may use an assortment of system-building tools in the ACKS system to create custom classes, monsters, etc. To maintain maximum flexibility in the spirit of this approach, the character sheet intentionally doesn't automate many functions, such as level dependent stat progressions (saving throws, attack throws, etc.)
The term 'character' refers to any player character, NPC, or monster who this sheet is used to represent. When representing monsters, many of the fields described can be safely ignored.
All field values are optional, unless otherwise specified.
Attribute variable names shown below do not include the attr_ portion of the name. The names for roll buttons and repeating sections include the full variable name.
All CAPS text within a variable_name indicates a placeholder for that indicated value. E.G., 'some_LVL_variable' indicates a level number for the LVL portion of the variable name.
Some fields are included to hold "reference values". These are purely informational fields that aren't used any place else on the sheet, and are identified as such, below.
Some sections of the character sheet employ checkbox toggles ("more...") used to show/hide sections of content or details specific to the item type in question.

The Overview Tab

This tab contains all the general information for the character, including a summary of important key values used during play.

How to Work with Saving Throws

The sheet allows the character's saving throw base target and class modifiers to be entered individually, if desired.
These two values are combined to set each save's throw target.
The saver_profile field can be used to set all the characters base target saving throw values by entering a simple two-digit code, 'XY', where...
- 'X' is a letter that represets one of the four basic ACKS saving throw progressions:
  - C: Crusader
  - F: Fighter
  - M: Mage
  - T: Thief
- 'Y' is a number that represents a class level
  - Acceptable values are 0 - 15.
  - Non-monster character's should use their current level.
  - Monsters should use which ever level progression is specified in the ACKS Monstrous Manual
- Using this feature WILL OVERWRITE ANY PREVIOUS VALUES.
Modifier field values must be 0 or less.
Class tab's class_save_bonus field can be used to automatically set all the saving throw target modifiers to a single number. THIS WILL OVERWRITE ANY PREVIOUS VALUES.

How to Use Melee and Missile Attack Lists

Use the Melee Attacks list for melee attacks, and the Missile Attacks list for missile and/or thrown attacks. Do not mix these.
For each possible attack, attack combination, and/or damage formula, create a separate attack entry. For example, a spear could have up to 5 entries; 4 melee and 1 missile:
- Melee: "Spear (One-Handed)", 1d6 damage
- Melee: "Spear (Two-Handed)", 1d8 damage
- Melee: "Spear (Broken, Tip), -1 bonus, 1d4 damage
- Melee: "Spear (Broken, Haft), -1 bonus, 1d4 damage
- Missile: "Spear (Thrown), isThrown, 1d6 damage
If the character is proficient in the dual wield fighting style, creating entries for each weapon combination likely to be used:
- "Mace +1 and Sword", +2 bonus, 1d6+1 damage
- "Sword and Dagger", +1 bonus, 1d6 damage
- Etc.
The Melee Attacks > Long checkbox and the Missile Attacks > Range field are optional but provide helpful context for the player.
Missile Attacks use an advanced Roll20 CRP sheet worker to both make the attack roll and automatically decrement the amount of ammo remaining by 1.
Note: Use the !AddActions custom API script to automagically include common attacks to both Melee and Missile Attack lists. These entires can then be customized as needed for both monsters and characters.

Journal Tab

This tab contains text area fields for tracking additional character information, such as background, appearance, languages, etc. It is also used to log XP and apply prerequisite bonuses to that XP.

How to Work with Experience Points

ACKS II uses an "adventure"-based experience points system. While the precious definition of an "adventure" is left to the GM, the XP awards system only gives earned XP to characters once the "adventure" ends and they have returned to "civilization" (i.e., a settlement).
Use the Experience Log repeating list to award XP at the conclusion of each "adventure".
The Bonus % is not automatically pulled from their current bonus on the Overview tab, since its possible that character injury, aging, attribute score alteration, etc., could change this during the character's lifetime.

Settings

This tab contains base values used in some sheet worker calculations; mainly when using the hseet for characters with non-standard movement and encumbrance capabilites (E.G., mounts, dragons, etc.) These values should only be changed by the GM.

Sheet Settings

Field	Variable(s)	Type	Description
Save Attributes	act_save_attrs	button	When clicked, copies the character's Current attribute values to their Nominal fields.
Experience % Modifier	xp_modifier	number	Used to change the character's displayed XP bonus from its prime requisite attribute score(s). Typically used if the character has suffered an organic impediment or injury that nagtively impacts its intellectual / reasoning capability.

Hide Studious Tab	toggle_studious	checkbox	If checked, hides the Studious spellcasting tab.
Hide Prayerful Tab	toggle_studious	checkbox	If checked, hides the Prayerful spellcasting tab.
Hide Code of Behavior	toggle_code	checkbox	If checked, hides the Code of Behavior text callout on the Class tab.
Enc Alert	enc_alert_toggle	checkbox	If enabled, highlights the character's encumbrance value any time it exceeds its move_alertThresh. This is to assist players with characters that have encumbrance-based abilities which require travelling light to take advantage of (e.g. tumbling, skirmishing, or a bladedancer's Graceful Fighting class power).
Enc Alert Threshold	move_alertThresh	number	The encumbrance threshold over which the character's current encumbrance is highlighted on the sheet. The default value is 5.

Enc Thresholds	move_thresh1, move_thresh2, move_thresh3	number	These fields set the encumbrance thresholds that define decreases in the character's maximum movement speed. The default values are those for humanoid characters described in the ACKS rulebook; 5, 7, and 10 stone. These align with movement rate reductions of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4, respectively. The highest move_threshX value to exceed the current capacity is the threshold that will be used. For example, a mule would use 20, 20, and 40; a 20 encumbrance would only trigger 1/2 movement reduction, never 1/4.
Max Encumbrance	base_enc	number	The character's base maximum encumbrance threshold, which is the point at which the character can no longer move. The default is the humanoid maximum base limit of 20 stone.
Max Movement	base_movement	number	Change to set the maximum movement value per turn for the character. The default is the humanoid base movement of 120' per turn.

Roll Templates

'Custom' Template

The ACKS sheet leverages a custom roll template that supports the following properties:

title: the title to be displayed
subtitle: an optional subtitle to be displayed
color: the default header color is gray, but additional colors may be specified: blakc, brown, blue, gold, green, orange, and red
effects: an optional effects field, used to provide flavor
desc: an optional description field, used to provide details
roll plus target: if roll is less than target, will indicate success; otheriwse, failure
Support for Combat > roll_surprise outcomes
Any additional parameters via the allprops roll template feature

'Custom' Template Banners

The roll template supports the use of an image banner in its header. However, to respect artist intellectual property, those present in the sheet HTML should be replaced with ones of your own. The list of template headers that can be customized can be found at the end of the sheet HTML just before the sheet worker section. Hopefully, the name properties (SOMECONTEXT, below) are intuitive.

Use the following syntax to embed your own banner header graphics:

<input type='hidden' name='attr_banner_SOMECONTEXT' value='[x](BANNERURL#.png)'/>

If the banners are located in your Roll20 library, you can obtain its Banner_URL by dragging it to any Roll20 page, selecting it, and pressing SHFT+Z to display it in the Roll20 image modal view. Then, right click the image and choose Copy image address. Replace the BANNERURL portion, abover, with the copied URL (keep the '[x]', the parentheses, and the '#.png').

I recommend that banners be 300px-by-80px and PNG format.

Supporting Macros

The following macros can be found in the /macros sub-directory of the git. They are highly recommended:

actions: The macro uses the Roll20 ChatMenu API script to whisper a list of nmany sheet buttons into the Roll20 chat. Buttons are organzied by type. Note that melee and missile attacks will only appear in the output if they've been marked as "equipped" This script saves the players a lot of time and is highly recommended. Specify 'Show as Token Action' to apply the macro to every sheet token. Select the token, and then click the macro to use it. (The corallary here is that a token must be selected for many of the sheet buttons to work, with our without the macro...)
conditions: This macro uses the Roll20 TokenMod API add-on to apply/remove ACKS condition token icons with a click of a button. Note that my version relies on additional custom icons that I created and imported into the game (see the \images folder for a PNG of these), but the script can be modified to use only the stock icons, as desired.
roll macros: These are simple macros that allow the players and the GM to send custom, formatted dice rolls to the Roll20 Chat. They prompt for a Reason for the roll or throw, the Roll 20 dice formula to be rolled, an optional Modifier, and an optional Target value. The rollWhisper macro allows the GM to whisper themself (by default), or a specific party member. Intended to be used to track why misc. non-sheet dice rolls are being made in the Roll20 chat window.
morale: This macro uses the Roll20 TokenMod API add-on to apply/remove ACKS reaction and morale token icons with a click of a button. Note that my version relies on additional custom icons that I created and imported into the game (see the \images folder for a PNG of these).
newToken: The macro uses the Roll20 TokenMod to pre-configure a new token that's already bound to a character sheet. This is intended for use when creating a new, standardized "master token" that will be bound to a character sheet. Make sure game-wide token settings are already configured before use. The current macro binds the three bar fields to hp (and hp_max), move_round, and armor_class. This can be further customized as needed.
newMonster: This macro is intended to be applied at game time to a monster token. This will use TokenMod to randomize the token's hp=hp_max to the bound character sheet's hit_dice value, add 60' nightvision to the token, and append a random 3-digit number to the token's name. As with newToken, this can be further customized, as desired. Important: For proper results, this macro must be applied to each instantiated monster token individually. Generic monster sheets should not have their hp bound to bar1 when applying this macro.
prayerful: This macro uses ChatMenu API script to output the character's prayerful spell list to the Roll20 chat as clickable links. Links are provided to review each spell in the prayerful caster's spell list, as well as to cast. This macro should be added to specific character sheets via the Roll20 Attributes & Abilities tab.
rollInit: This macro uses GroupInitiative API script to roll ACKS initiative for all selected tokens on the current Roll20 page. Takes into consideration modifiers from the character's dexterity attribute, any class modifier, and any additional modifer entered on the Combat tab. Requires additional configuration detailed in the .txt file.
skills: This macro is similar to repertoire, above, but outputs a list of all proficiencies and abilities on the character's Skills tab. Clicking the names triggers the Review button for each. (For actually using a skills, see the actions macro, above. Should be added to all characters as a token action.
studious: This macro uses ChatMenu API script to output the character's studious spell list to the Roll20 chat as clickable links. Links are provided to review each spell in the studious caster's repertoire, as well as to cast prepared spells (spell_prepared = 'on'). This macro should be added to specific character sheets via the Roll20 Attributes & Abilities tab.

Supporting API Scripts

The following scripts can be found in the /scripts directory of the git. They are also highly recommended:

AddActions : Invoked by selecting one or more tokens on the map and then typing '!AddActions' in the Roll20 chat window. This will add 'generic' melee and missile attacks to each selected tokens' character sheet > Combat > Melee/Missile Attacks repeating lists. For example, Punch, Kick, Improvised, etc.
AddSkills: Invoked by selecting one or more tokens on the map and then typing '!AddSkills' in the Roll20 chat window. This will add common ACKS abilities to each selected tokens' character sheet > Skills > Abilities repeating list. For example, Find Secret Doors, Hear Noise, etc.

Author's Note

These scripts were derived from the Roll20 forums. I did not author this script and do not recall who on the forums did. If anyone knows, please contact me so I can provide the proper credit.
