Ваша книга заклинаний D&D 5e на русском — для подготовки к игре и каждого хода за столом. Найдите нужную магию, соберите список персонажа и следите за оставшимися ячейками. ДВЕ РЕДАКЦИИ D&D Выбирайте библиотеки 2014 и 2024. У каждой редакции свои заклинания, классы и подклассы. Персонажи и их книги хранятся отдельно по редакциям. НУЖНОЕ ЗАКЛИНАНИЕ ПОД РУКОЙ • Ищите по русскому или английскому названию. • Сочетайте фильтры по классу, кругу, школе, времени сотворения, компонентам, концентрации, источнику и тегам. • Читайте описание прямо в списке. Характеристики и условия применения собраны рядом. КНИГА ВАШЕГО ПЕРСОНАЖА • Создавайте персонажей с именем, портретом, классом, подклассом и уровнем. • Собирайте подготовленные заклинания, а в редакции 2014 — также известные. • Добавляйте заклинания в корзину и меняйте их статус сразу для всего списка. • Настраивайте ячейки по кругам, отмечайте расход и восстанавливайте их после отдыха. Ячейки и фильтры доступны в общей панели рядом со списком заклинаний. СОТВОРЕНИЕ И КОСТИ Нажмите на формулу костей в описании заклинания, чтобы выполнить бросок. Для поддерживаемых заклинаний приложение предложит круг ячейки, рассчитает кости и отметит расход. Трёхмерные кости показывают результат прямо поверх интерфейса. БИБЛИОТЕКА ДЛЯ ИГРЫ Обращайтесь к правилам, классам, подклассам, предметам и другим материалам установленной редакции. Собирайте материалы в подборки, добавляйте свои теги и заметки. ВАША СОБСТВЕННАЯ МАГИЯ Создавайте свои заклинания и теги. Включайте материалы homebrew в настройках, когда они нужны вашей игре. НА IPHONE И IPAD Книжное оформление, светлая и тёмная темы, удобная работа со списками и боковой панелью на iPad. После загрузки библиотек заклинания, материалы, персонажи и ячейки доступны без интернета. Для загрузки и обновления библиотек требуется подключение к сети. Версия 4.0.0 требует iOS или iPadOS 26.4 и новее. Материалы dnd.su используются с разрешения владельцев сайта.

The call
