As promised, here's a macro you can use without a Roll20 subscription.
&{template:default} {{name=?{Ability Used}}} {{Step: ?{Step} + Karma: ?{Karma #|0} }} {{Result [[ [[{1e3, 8}<[[{?{Step} - 11, 0}kh1 % 11]] + floor([[{?{Step} - 11, 0}kh1]] / 11)]]d20! + [[{2, 4, 5, 6, 7}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1 % 11]] + {1, 3}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1]] + {1e3, 3}=[[{?{Step} - 11, 0}kh1 % 11]] * 2]]d[[{{(?{Step} - 1) * 2, 4}kh1, {12} }kl1]]! + [[{1e3, 8}<[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1]] * (1 - {3, 6, 10}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1 % 11]] + {1, 4, 8}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1 % 11]])]]d[[10 - {4, 5, 8, 9}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1 % 11]] * 4]]! + [[{1e3, 8}<[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1]] * ({0, 5, 7, 9}=[[{?{Step}, 1}kh1 % 11]] + 2 * {6, 10}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1 % 11]])]]d8! - [[{1, 2}=[[{?{Step}, 0}kh1]] * (3 - [[{?{Step}, 0}kh1]])]] + ?{Karma #}d6! ]]}}
It gives you a result window looking like this

My character sheet uses this as the base macro for several designated rolls. Some rolls can be made private to the GM by clicking a different button.
Thanks to the API's used (which you need a subscription for), the sheet also keeps track of Karma spent, Strain spent, and automatically adjusts for Wounds on your rolls. Depending on the type of roll you're making, the result window will have a different color bar on top.

I'm about to submit an update that adds a Creature tab for GM's to use for creature blocks, without having to swap to different tabs. The update will also include inputing your Karma Step instead of assuming you roll a d6 for Karma.

Here is my try with Roll20 without premium account:

It's in polish but hey, I even tried to read german stuff without knowing the language and translating it ;p

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer :)

I also have been developing an Earthdawn character sheet for roll20 for quite a while now.
I have not published it site wide because I am still monkeying with it, and sometimes break it.
But it is quite advanced and I do make it available to anybody who asks.

we have a GM on roll20 that has bent the api to his will. He hasn't released it to the public yet but its very complete.
