Did a test today and it seemed to work.

If you want to play along at home.

You will want to set your roll20 campaign to use the AS&SH character sheet.

Add a character named barbarian.

Next is the shitty part. You need the paid tier that lets you have access to the api. I double checked and that is the Pro tier, $90/year. I will see if there might be a way to do something similar for the free tier.

You will also need to add the ChatSetAttr api script.

Here is the markdown/yaml file I set through my program:

class: barbarian
name: Órlaith IngheanScannlán
level: 2
Race: Kimmeri-Kelt
Gender: female

ST: 14
DX: 13
CN: 16
IN: 14
WS: 11
CH: 13

HP: 22

HP_rolls:
  - 12
  - 8

Gear:
  - <a>studded armour
  - <a>small shield
  - <hm>dagger
  - <m>bastard sword
  - <l>short bow
  - arrow quiver
  - arrows x12
  - backpack
  - bandages
  - fishing net
  - hunting horn
  - soft leather pouch
  - large sack
  - torches x3
  - wineskin (full)

Magic:
  - Healing Potion, full 2d4+2 HP, half 1d4 HP


My program spat out this (I had to do some munging and such). Also, there is a character limit in chat (which I need to look up) so I did the character data setting in 5 line/command chunks:

I found a firefox extension that I think will work with non-paid roll20, at least it does with my testing so far.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roll20-character-import-export/

I had create and fill out a character sheet first to get the fields names and such it needs. So, I need to translate this to my program and such now.

Once I have something I'll let you all know.

Here is my test json file

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f5g36omua2a2tr7/barbarian-02.json?dl=0

Most of the values are valid but many are bogus. So caveat GM.

Well, I had a successful test upload with a json file I created, and I think I found some of the edges.

Now to find some others.

Schiomancer is now a choice.

I also noticed that you could only select up through level 9. It's now 12 as it should have been.

Gloomhaunter should be done soonish.

Now to look at the spell lists and channel Black Adder and figure that out along with default starting pack.

And now gloomhaunter.

I think the "default" spells aren't getting put in the character sheets but I wasn't looking too closely.

Something to put on the TODO list.

Ok, I'll see if I can find them in the log file and see what it did.

Ok, I got the hp thing sorted out. I didn't have the HD data in the sciomancer class. At all. So. yeah. garbage in, garbage out.

Thank you!

As for the "Take the stats and create a pdf" link.

I suppose I could take that choice out.

I think my intent was that you would copy the stats, go to that page, paste them in and add extra stuff. Which might not be what most folks would do.

  I don't think that was obvious, but one could always do the "add extra stuff" to the form-fillable PDF, right?
 

huh, it seems I had created most of the spell lists for most of the classes already.

I just had to add a few more. Some are a bit deficient. They aren't quite what they could/should be

 

gizmomathboy, if I've already gushed elsewhere about the usefulness of your tools, allow me to do so again!  Can I make a request? One of the more tedious aspects of adventure design is spellbook/prayerbook generation. I know you can use your tools to make a level-x sorcerer and get a spellbook that way, but something for just a spellbook (variables level and class) would be phenomenal.

Hard part, data entry, is done.
