Free to build your first character. No subscription, no account, no ads. Roll fast. Own everything. Remember the story. A beautiful, fully offline fifth-edition character sheet for iPhone and iPad. No data loss, ever. Just you and your character, at the table or on the go. PLAY FAST Hit points, spell slots, weapon attacks, saving throws, conditions, death saves and inline dice — all one tap away. Tap an attack and it rolls the d20 and applies your to-hit bonus. Tap Cast and it spends the slot for you. The sheet keeps the maths; you keep the momentum. IT KNOWS YOUR CLASS Rage, Ki, Action Surge, Second Wind, Channel Divinity, Bardic Inspiration, Lay on Hands — your class features are tracked with the right number of uses for your level, and the right rest brings them back. Warlock pact slots return on a short rest, the way they should. Add your own subclass features, feats or a magic item's charges alongside them. RULES IT REMEMBERS SO YOU DON'T Concentration is tracked — cast a second concentration spell and it tells you which one ends. Rituals cast without spending a slot. Your prepared-spell limit is counted for you. Nothing is ever forced: the sheet shows you the rule and lets you overrule it, because your table's word beats ours. OWN EVERYTHING Everything lives on your device. No account to create, no server to go down mid-session, and nothing to lose if you go offline for a month. REMEMBER THE STORY Most sheets track your stats. Almost none track your adventure. The built-in Adventure Journal logs your sessions with scene art, the people you meet, the quests you chase and your character's own goals — plus a "Story so far" recap that catches you up before the next session. EVERYTHING A SHEET SHOULD KNOW • 319 spells with the full rules text, searchable offline • Guided character creation and levelling, with correct fifth-edition maths • Manual override on any field — the sheet never argues with your DM • Nine ready-made heroes to pick up and play tonight • Light and dark, on every iPhone and iPad size FREE, AND PRO Your first character is free forever — the whole sheet, the dice, the spells, the levelling and the journal.
