Welcome to Rat's Roster! This simple app allows you to create and store all of your characters across all of your 5e campaigns. Whether you're a Player or a Game Master, this app will make character management easier. In this app, you can store your characters' details, combat stats, abilities, skills, equipment, spells, feats, and even campaign notes! I created this app for me and my buddies. After a friend of mine continually forgot to bring his character sheet to our sessions, I decied enough was enough. It was time to build him a permanent character sheet on his phone that he couldn't forget. I've tried a varierty of these TTRPG Companion apps, and they never sat right with me. While this app will autocalculate certain things for you, such as your modifiers for skills and weapons, nothing is tied to your class or race. The end result is a beautiful, semi-automated character sheet in the best way. No gated content. No in-app purchases. Full homebrew compatibility. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have making it. Enjoy!
