## What is CharTaker?

CharTaker is a free, offline character sheet manager for the Starfinder 1st Edition Roleplaying Game built with user experience and ease of use top of mind. 

Build a character from scratch, level up at the table, and track everything mid-session - no books or WiFi required.

ALL 13 CLASSES
Envoy, Mechanic, Mystic, Operative, Solarian, Soldier, Technomancer, Biohacker, Vanguard, Witchwarper, Nanocyte, Evolutionist, and Precog.

CHARACTER CREATION
Step-by-step guided wizard. Pick your ancestry, theme, class, and ability scores. Assign skill ranks, choose feats, class features, and learn spells.

LEVEL UP FAST
A streamlined flow walks you through everything you gain at each level: HP, SP, skill ranks, new class features, feat slots, ability score increases, and spells. Edit previous levels anytime.

FULL CHARACTER SHEET
Track ability scores, skills, saves, AC, BAB, speed, HP, Stamina, and Resolve in one place. Tap any skill to roll. See bonus breakdowns so you know exactly where every number comes from.

COMBAT TRACKER
One-tap attack rolls with full dice breakdowns - hit, damage, and critical results displayed clearly. Track SP and HP with Starfinder's damage-flows-through-stamina-first system.

SPELLS & ABILITIES
Browse the complete spell database with filters by class, level, and school. Track spell slots, cast spells, and manage class abilities like Paradoxes, Stellar Modes, Expertise, and more.

EQUIPMENT SHOP
Browse hundreds of weapons, armor, and gear. Filter by type, level, and category. Buy and equip items directly to your character sheet.

CLASS FEATURE BROWSER
Every class feature, specialization, fighting style, connection, gear boost, magic hack, and more - browsable and searchable with full descriptions.

MULTIPLAYER
Allow for two way tracking of encounters between DM and players, no account required!

STARSHIP COMBAT
Track your starship's shields, hull points, weapons, and systems. Pick your crew role (Captain, Pilot, Engineer, Gunner, Science Officer) and manage ship combat alongside your character.

DICE ROLLER
Built-in dice rolling for attacks, skills, and saves with full roll breakdowns and history.

GM TOOLS: INITIATIVE TRACKER
Run combat right from your phone. Add players and enemies, roll initiative, and step through turns with a single tap. Track enemy HP with quick-adjust buttons and see EAC, KAC, and attack details at a glance.

GM TOOLS: BESTIARY
Import creatures from the integrated bestiary — 47 pre-built monsters with full stats, attacks, and CR ratings. Or add custom enemies on the fly.

GM TOOLS: CONDITIONS REFERENCE
Look up any status effect instantly. All 30+ Starfinder conditions with full rules text, searchable by name or keyword. No rulebook needed.

WORKS OFFLINE
All data is stored locally on your device. No account needed, no server connection required. Your characters are yours.
