D&D 5E DnD 5ed Auto-calculating Fillable Character Sheet based on Dragon's Lair Design

This is fillable auto-calculated pdf form character sheet designed to be used with Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

DOWNLOAD LINK

Excellent for beginners because most math is autocalculated and there are lot of tooltips so there is no need to check PHB all the time

Sheet is designed with these in mind:

• easy to use and intuitive UI/design
• online play (file size is relatively small for easy sharing with cloud service like cubby, dropbox, sugarsync etc.)
• customization (sheet is not limited to inbuilt choices, so you can input whatever you want in most of the fields)

If you like the sheet, please take a moment of your time and rate it with . Thank you!

Comments

Feel free to comment, report any bugs, ask for features etc.
Best way to do it, is to post in main thread
You can also use Comments section, but I don't get a notification for that so it might take a while for me to answer.


Supported software

Form is created with Foxit PhantomPDF. Sheet is tested and is working in Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Reader, Foxit Reader and Foxit PhantomPDF.
For best experience use Foxit. Sheet is much faster if you use Foxit than Acrobat.
Sheet isn't tested in other PDF readers or readers for mobile devices, so use at your own discretion.
Please note that you can not use sheet with browser preview or stuff like that. You must use some kind PDF reader.


Export/Import

Sheet contains buttons for export and import form data. Buttons are working in Adobe Acrobat Pro, Foxit Reader and Foxit Phantom (maybe also in other readers but it isn't tested)
In Acrobat Reader this don't work because Acrobat Reader must have "Rights" that requires the Reader Extension server to enable this feature, which is very expensive.
Also there are third party tools which can help you to export/import in Acrobat Reader. Just google it.
Also if you have problems with that, just let me know and I'll try to help you.


Tips for use

Almost all fillable fields have a tooltip if you hover the mouse cursor over that field. Some Dropdown choices also have tooltips so check them out (like Backgrounds, Armors, Shields and protective items).
Some backgrounds from Sword Coast Adventurers guide book (like Cloistered Scholar, Inheritor etc)have several choices for skill proficiencies so read carefully tooltip and select appropriate skill for yourself. Sheet will not choose for you
I'll repeat once again; sheet is not limited to inbuilt choices, so you can input whatever you want in most of the fields.
Every section of data has a CLEAR button which will reset values to default for that section
Reset button will reset whole sheet to defaults
Reset and Clear buttons are not visible in print
Ability generator fields are also not visible in print
If you want to keep file size in check, use the Save As command often. You can overwrite the old file to avoid having many files. When you “Save” a PDF file, incremental updates are appended to the file. This allows the document to be saved more quickly but contributes to the overall size of the file. Choosing “Save As” will completely rewrite the file and result in a smaller file size.


Ability Generator

These are the steps how to use generator

1. Choose method of rolling or point-buy
2. Click on Generate Abilities button
3. Info field – Here are values that are rolled. If point-buy method is selected, here will be amount of spent points
4. Rolled Values – If point-buy method is selected, write here values for ability scores you wish to buy. Note that allowed values for point-buy are 8-18.
5. Check checkboxes to select to which ability you wish to assing value
6. Assign Scores button – Click to assign selected values to ability scores fields on sheet.

Thanks/Credits

This sheet is based on sheet design from Dragon Lair, as it is written on sheet itself (D&D 5th Edition Character sheet by Dragons’ Lair|4 pages version|v.1.02en september 2014|www.dragonslair.it), so I'm not taking any credit for design and not holding any rights for this sheet either.

In this way I want to thank you Zelgadis for gaving me permission to use this beautiful sheet, so thank you very much!

Hey, love the sheet!

Just wanted to say that there seems to be a mistake where the CHA skills are being calculated using the Wisdom modifier. Thanks!

Those sheets are beautiful.

However, a bug: Paladins are proficient with Wisdom and Charisma saving throws, not Strength.

Edit: Also, Half-Elves (and Variant Humans) should be able to adjust their racial modifiers.

Thanks guys for reporting.
Unfortunately, I didn't notice this thread. I'm new here so I'm still picking things up

I fixed all this things you reported. Now I'm thinking how to add skill choices based on class and background choice. Of course I'll also put bypass to override this calculations.

Thank you for all your work!

I don't have Acrobat, so I'm not sure how you would program the default skills based on background and class. I do have access to Acrobat Pro at work but I'm not supposed to be playing with it...

One suggestion/request I do have (not urgent) is to put in a check box for "Superior Athlete" Champion Fighter feature. It works sort of like "Jack of All Trades" but rounds up instead of down, and only works on physical skills.

I already have an idea how to implement skill choices based on class and background but its a enormous amount of code. Maybe I'll find some easier way.

I'll check Superior athlete feature. I didn't read all of class features so please bring it on

I'd say skill choices are flexible enough not to need automation, but that's just me.

Yeah I know and that's exactly my thinking. But I just must see if I can do it

Hi,

Thanks for this sheet it's so much time saving.

However I was wondering if you will allow to choose another Saving throw proficiency as the feat Resilient allow.
I did chose this feat but I can't select the Characteristic which I intend to become proficient with.
Except this little bug it's just super clear and easy to use.

Hi SLN

I'll add this and Superior Athlete in my next update.
And I just figured out how to set value to default inside javascript without clicking on button. So I'll fix race ability modifiers field for half-elf and human (variant). I'm still learning
For now after you choose half-elf or human (variant), race ability modifier field is not read-only so you can type in bonus. But in some fields remains ability modifiers from race that was previously selected, so be sure to clear them.
Also I'll fix this in next update.

Thank you for feedback
