Good news for Roll20 users: there is now an official Old-School Essentials character sheet for Roll20 games! The official sheet (which is based on an older, unofficial one) is being actively developed and has gained a lot of new features recently.
How to Use The Official Sheet?
- Log in to Roll20.
- Start a new game or click on an existing game.
- Go to Settings / Game Settings.
- Under Character Sheet Template, select "Old School Essentials by Necrotic Gnome".
(The sheet simply named "Old School Essentials" is the older, unofficial sheet, which has a lot less features.)
What Features Does it Have?
- Supports all Old-School Essentials Classic Fantasy and Advanced Fantasy character classes.
- Automatically calculates saving throws, Hit Dice, and attack probabilities for supported classes.
- Descending or ascending AC. (This can be switched at any time in the settings.)
- Click to roll saving throws, attacks, ability checks, etc.
- Attack rolls indicate natural 1s and 20s.
Thanks
To Wes Baker and Frederick Münch for their great work on this super useful online resource!

Any chance of an update to the Roll20 profile? We are already in 2024 and perhaps something can be implemented.
Any possibility of getting the race/class separation from the Advanced Fantasy rulesets into the character sheet?
>Some of the boxes/modifiers aren’t completelty clear as to how they interact or should be utilized… can you maybe make a pictogram with arrows pointing to each box explaining how to use it and how it effects the rolls and other boxes? For example… under Init is a Dex box… what is this Dex box referring to? For some reason I’m getting an extra +2 on top of my normal +2 to my initiative rolls, I haven’t quite figured out how I should interact with these boxes. Thanks!
The best thing to do is to contact the developers with suggestions like these (see email / links in the post above).

>Hey, just letting you know, but the Abilities/Skills section doesn’t post to the in-game chat when you hit the roll button.
Please submit any feedback you have as described in the blog post, above.
