This is like a Dungeon Master's Assistant for running a slick and efficient DnD session! A lot of the things you need to open another window/tab for, look up in books, or scribble down on scraps of paper, can be done right on your mobile phone -- and done better and faster. The entire open source Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition (2024) rules are at your fingertips! Running a combat and tracking initiative is fast and easy with all the key stats right there. You have instant access to basic monster stat blocks, armor classes, hit points. Sound effects, images, quick NPC creation -- all right there in your hand. This is great for the hybrid Dungeon Master who may be running a remote or in-person session and also has players using tools like DnD Beyond, or the dungeon master previously running a pure in-person with paper and no screens at all. Here's what it can do: --[FREE] D&D 5th Edition (2024) System Reference Document (SRD) 5.2, with easy to navigate table of contents. All the rules, spells, monsters, magic items, etc. right here. Note: Does not include copyrighted material found only paid reference books. --[FREE] Dice roller - You have to always have one of these handy, right? Track multiple rolls with convenient sum. --[FREE] Quick reference for PC's and NPC's in your campaign. The key stats you need quick access to on the fly, like HP and Passive Perception. This is also great when trying to keep all the names and classes and races straight with your new players. It's a PC Cheat Sheet, especially useful for new campaigns. Your players will appreciate this too when getting to know each other. --[PAID] Combat is where DM Copilot really shines. Quickly add new monsters, track initiative, and get a nice sorted list of combatants. Keep track of turns, and process damage and healing with super quick data entry shortcuts. Minimal taps required. This is the fastest and easiest combat / initiative tool there is! --[FREE] When combat is done, reset and record the battle in your campaign journal so you can have a nice history of what went down at the end of the night. Add manual journal entries any time you like. --[FREE] Name Generator - Quick way to produce a name for a NPC on the fly. You can quickly add it to the journal, too, so you can remember that bartender's name later. --[FREE] Reference - All the things you need to look up in the middle of your session. Much easier than paging through the books for these frequently used items. Ability checks, equipment stats, feats and backgrounds, combat actions, conditions, creature types, damage types, schools of magic, spellcasters guide, etc. --[FREE] Monster Lookup - Quickly look up monsters and stats in the Basic Rules (network connection required). Paid subscribers can also add them to your combat encounter. --[PAID] NPC Creator - Maybe the coolest thing you've seen in a while, tap on the attributes for a quick encounter (Dwarven Rogue Level 5, or Forest Monster CR 5 - CR 10) and you'll get a name and background made for you in seconds. --[FREE] Sound Effects - Play built-in background loops and sound effects to enhance the ambiance, and easily link to your own music library playlist for quick access. --[FREE] Images - Several dozen characters of various classes and species, and monsters to show your players. You can also do an image search to quickly find any of thousands of monsters on the internet. [PAID] You can even upload the images to your Discord channel. [PAID] Nothing could be easier and faster! --[PAID] Multiple campaigns are supported, so you can have all your PC's, NPC's, and journals organized by campaign. --SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED FOR SOME FEATURES.

5E Character Sheet Creator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Build your RPG character in minutes, straight from your phone. 5E Character Sheet Creator is the character sheet app your table was missing. Compatible with the most popular tabletop rule system in the world (5th edition), it takes you from a blank page to a printed sheet in 7 simple steps. It works just as well for your very first character as it does for a veteran's tenth. GUIDED CREATION, STEP BY STEP Pick species, class, background, ability scores and equipment, with a plain explanation at every choice. Armor Class, hit points, skills, saving throws and attack bonuses are all calculated for you, so you can focus on what matters: bringing your hero to life. LEVELS 1 TO 20 Every class feature, hit die, proficiency bonus and spell slot, handled automatically as your hero grows. MULTICLASSING Split your levels between two classes. The app checks the ability score requirement, keeps spells separate by class, adds the hit dice from both, and reads the combined spell slot table for you. Your sheet shows Wizard 5 / Cleric 1 and everything adds up. REAL 3D DICE No fake numbers popping up on screen. Roll d4 through d20 with real physics inside the app, with advantage and disadvantage, and visual themes so your rolls look the way you want them to. 340 SPELLS FROM THE OPEN SYSTEM (SRD) Bard, warlock, cleric, druid, sorcerer or wizard: pick your cantrips and starting spells during creation, then browse the full spellbook with search and filters whenever you need it. Every spell has a short plain-language summary and a tip on when to use it. FULL EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE Weapons, armor, tools and gear with weight, price and damage, and a backpack that tracks your load for you. EXPORT IT AND TAKE IT TO THE TABLE Generate your complete sheet as a PDF, sized for A4 and letter and built to stay readable in black and white, with a combat guide written for your class. SHARE YOUR CHARACTER Send your hero's summary to the group with a single tap. YOUR HEROES, YOUR WAY Save your characters, organize them into folders, and export any of them as a file so nothing is stuck on one phone. No account. No sign up. Works offline. FULL VERSION Levels 1 to 20, with subclasses and feats Up to 40 saved heroes and 40 folders The complete spellbook Advanced rolling: combine as many dice as you want, with modifiers Exclusive dice themes (Royal Blue, Ruby, Jade) All ads removed One time purchase. No subscription. All of it faithful to the system reference material, under an open license, with no filler and no tables to memorize. This app is an independent creation, compatible with fifth edition tabletop roleplaying games. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any publisher.
