Hi all!

As the title reads, I am currently hosting a game on Fantasy Grounds Unity (love, btw!), and am looking to make a completely custom game. I was running a Dragon Age RPG prior to lock down, and wanted to resume my campaign, but the character sheet for DA: RPG is completely different from the standard D&D character sheet.

I am planning on taking the time to code all of the spells, classes, races, etc., but I was wondering if there is a way that I can change the character sheet. I will post a link down below for reference on what the DA: RPG sheet looks like.

Thanks in advance! <3

Welcome.

With FG you have to first decide/consider what ruleset you are going to use to run your game. There is currently no DA ruleset so you won't be able to start there. There is the built-in CoreRPG ruleset that you can use. Or there is the community MoreCore ruleset you can use. In both of them you can create a custom character sheet with all the fields you want. But 'layout' control are very basic and it won't graphically be anything special.

I would probably suggest you start there with MoreCore, but if you want to stay more basic you can use CoreRPG. Then you can look at writing an extension (which uses XML and LUA) to make a more graphical and totally custom character sheet. With an extension you can pretty much do anything you want, but you have to code it.

There are numerous examples of both CoreRPG and MoreCore character sheets on the forums. Places to get started include;

Awesome, thank you so much! I am going to give the MoreCore a go, and see where I end up.

There are Stunt dice in MoreCore
