I agree 5e.tools >>> beyond
Can you make character sheets with 5e tools, like I can with dndbeyond?
I find this better than beyond. The spacing on the PDF is not great. Other than that it is fantastic. https://www.aidedd.org/dnd-creator/index.php
I wish there was a sign on feature; so that I could more easily use it cross device
I download a PDF and put it in Goodnotes. I can write on my sheet and it is available on all my devices.
That’s a good idea. I’ll try this out, and see how it goes
You can also download the xml and upload it on another device.
Thanks! It’s a great resource; but I like that the dndbeyond content integrates with my character sheet
Stop paying for dndbeyond. Hasbro doesn’t deserve your money if you paying for a subscription.
As far as I can tell they the only option for character management. Others have posted some free tools; but they are pretty subpar, as far as I can tell. If there was another option to manage a character (spells, inventory, levels) then I’d use that
I’ve found that my players tend to prefer Fight Club instead. The mobile interface and easy editing means they can easily track whatever the hell they want. Hell, I used to track 3 separate characters on my iPad, and just swap between them depending on whose turn it was.
But that’s for in person gaming. Remote is more difficult, because Fight Club doesn’t publish rolls to anything. If you’re looking for online play, maybe Foundry or Fantasy Grounds for a VTT?
There are a few, shard tabletop has free tier and you can get some free stuff off the store like PHB 2012/2024, TCoE, XGtE, Swords coast etc. You are limited to only 4 per month on the free teir. It has a simple character creator and you can create your own stuff like races, subclasses, monsters etc. So anything your missing you can use 5e Tools and add it manually.
If you wanna sub you can and it's like $20 a year for the adventuring tier.
For crossplay it all goes through the website (so no app) and its all mobile optimized I think.
