This guide covers the operation of the Party sheet under the 5e ruleset; for completeness it also includes all of the information from the Party Sheet guide.
Note: Some of the information relates to version 3.1.3 of Fantasy Grounds. Some content is not available in earlier versions.
To open the party sheet click the 'Party Sheet' button in the top right menu of the main Fantasy Grounds screen. As with many aspects of Fantasy Grounds what information is available will depend on whether you are a player or a DM. The DM also has some options as to what the players can see in the party sheet.
...
The DM should populate the party sheet by dragging the players into the main tab from the portraits on the top left of the screen or from the PCs tab down the right hand side.
This tab is only available to players if the DM selects the 'Party: Show characters to clients' option from the options menu.
If available, players will see a list of the player characters along with a summary of each character; name and class, hit points, hit dice, ability scores, armor class and passive perception, defenses and senses. None of this information is editable.
In addition to the above information DMs also have access to a number of selection boxes enabling them to make Ability, Saving, Skill and Attack rolls for the entire party.
To make such an Ability, Saving or Skill roll select the Ability, Save or Skill from the drop down menus. Enter a difficulty class in the editable box and then click the dice roller.
To make an Attack roll enter a positive or negative number in the editable box and then click the dice.
Any specified modifier will be applied to all of the rolls made. E.g. if there is a -2 shown in the modifier box in the bottom left hand of the UI then all of the rolls made will suffer that penalty.
To hide the results of the roll from the players click the small 'eye' icon to the left of 'Ability'. NOTE: This will only make the result visible or invisible to the players if the DM has set the option 'Show DM rolls' to 'On'. If set to 'Off' the setting the 'eye' to on or off will have no effect.
The DM can also make an ability check for an individual character by double clicking on the dice roller box underneath each ability score.
The DM can remove a character from the sheet by using the 'edit list' button in the top right hand corner or by right clicking on the character and selecting 'Delete Item'
...
The Inventory tab is divided into 4 sections, parcel coins, parcel Items, Party Coins and Party Inventory. NOTE: The Party Coins and Party Inventory will only be visible to players if the DM has set the option 'Party: Show inventory to clients' to 'On'.
...
Unwanted treasure can be sold by the DM by clicking on the 'Sell Items' button found between the two top section of the sheet.
Only unassigned treasures will be sold.
The gross value of the item will be the value shown on the items sheet; if no value is shown then an error will appear in the chat window and the item will not be sold.
Any coin description is acceptable as long as there is a number preceding it. For example an item with a value of 10 pieces of eight will be sold and 'pieces of eight' will appear as a new coin in the coin list if it doesn't already exist. (see 5E Options for details on how the DM can assign their own currencies to a campaign).
The DM can set the value that the players obtain for the sale by editing the % box directly below the sale button.
If the selling price after the % set by the DM is less than one currency unit then the item will not be sold and an error will appears in chat.
The coins received for the sale will be transferred to the Parcel Coins list. Additionally a list of the items sold, the price each was sold for and the total value will be output to chat.
