Roll20 Reply Custom class builder help

So I bought the Dark Matter Starter Kit on Roll20. It doesn't have the classes but it has the races and some weapons and ships. So I decided not to return it.

I was going to just manually add the classes using the custom class builder. But am I just stupid or what. LOL.

Any advice on adding custom classes or maybe a detailed guide on how to do it. I'm trying to use the 2024 sheet but will use the 2014 sheet if necessary.

The guide Roll20 put out is helpful but maybe I need someone to talk to me like I'm 5. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I love Dark Matter's art and style, so cool!

Here's what I'd recommend:

  1. When you create a game from the module, it auto-selects the D&D 5e 2014 Classic sheet. That's what the NPCs were built with, so just leave it.
  2. You can use either the Classic or New D&D sheet for PC character building. The New sheet supports both 5e and 5.5e, and has great builder features.
  3. To use both sheets together, go to Settings > Character Sheet Settings and add the New D&D sheet to your game.
  4. Anything in the compendium shows up in the builder automatically (screenshot below of me testing it) and anything that's not, you can build custom. Here are some videos on Roll20's homebrew options!

Let me know if you have any specific questions!
