Read full description

Roll For Assist is here to help with your game of Dnd. Use the numbered squares to roll , d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, or Percentile (d100). Use the plus and minus buttons to inflict damage or to heal by one at a time, or put in the box how much you'd like to heal/damage. Tap the character name at the top to add, delete, edit, or switch between characters you have created. They will all have their own max hit points, and their current hit points will be saved so you can switch between characters and close the app without having to remember how many points you had last session. You can use the long rest button (Moon with the zzzz's) to reset back to your Max HP.

StatAnvil is a character management app for tabletop role-playing games. Build a character sheet that fits your table, whatever system you play. Most character apps are built for one game, require a website to use or require an account for the most basic features. StatAnvil is system-agnostic. You design the sheet from modules and place them on a layout you control. Add only what you need, arrange it freely, and link related values so your modifiers and totals stay consistent as your character changes. That makes it work for well-known systems, homebrew rules, and indie games that never fit a standard sheet. Features: • Modular sheets built from blocks like ability scores, skills, spells, and inventory • Custom layouts you arrange exactly how you want them • Linked values that keep calculations updating automatically • Support for any system, whether official, homebrew, or indie • Offline use, so your characters are ready without a connection • Share characters and character sheet simply by sending files StatAnvil is designed for long campaigns, homebrew tables, and players who want real control over how their characters are built and managed. The app has been designed to be modular ttrpg application to support any game system and characters. Export your own game systems and creations to be used by others.
