2024 D&D Character Sheets Available to Download

The newly designed character sheets for Dungeons & Dragons are now available on D&D Beyond's website. The new sheets were created for use with the new 2024 revised 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons and were released as part of the early release launch of the 2024 Player's Handbook on D&D Beyond. Notably, the new character sheets are condensed from 3 pages to 2, contain attunement slots for magic items, and place various skill proficiency stats under their corresponding core ability score. Also, the new character sheet contains various technical updates, such as "Heroic Inspiration" replacing inspiration and "Species" replacing "Races." Please note that this is not a fillable PDF, so you'll have to print it and fill it out on your own.

This marks the first time since 2014 that D&D has updated its official character sheets, with print copies eventually going on sale in a couple of weeks. Also to come are several campaign tracker sheets that will be available as part of the to-be-released Dungeon Master's Guide.

Oh, I'm sure they could have, but for whatever reason, they have chosen not to.

With OG 5e, they offered both options. There was the standard sheet from the back of the PHB that had skills grouped separately, but there was also an alternative sheet that grouped them by ability score.

I do think it was silly of them to only offer a sheet grouping the skills by ability score this time, especially since "skills with different abilities" is still an option highlighted in the new PHB.

It's not just the fact that "skills grouped by ability scores" is the default (which kinda makes sense given how few people use Skills With Different Abilities, even though I think that should be the default rule), but just the wonkiness of the way they placed the ability scores in that layout. Surely they could've found another design that put the skills under related abilities but didn't have the abilities look like they were placed haphazardly.

Oh my goodness, this is so much better, there's no comparison. And the multi-million dollar corporation couldn't do this while a random guy on ENWorld could?!

Thanks. The weirdest part was I shortened the box for Proficiency Bonus to match Heroic Inspiration. I don't know why they had the PB box so big... It is just a single number after all.

How difficult would it be to make a fill-able version of ezo's revised character sheet? [insert puppydog eyes emoji here]

Wow, that is just amazing. And done within a single day of my remark of the 'official' one not being form fillable. Thank you so much.

It's weird looking at a 5(.5)E character sheet after not for over a year. So much stuff.

I really wish modern D&D could embrace simplicity.

I'm sure I'll get used to the bloat again after giving it a spin eventually.

 

[Gorck]

I'm just glad they brought it back down to 2 pages (double sided would be 1 sheet of paper), than the awkward 3 pages from the 2014 PHB.

Done!

Also very big thanks to @ezo for the redesign.

Oh, I'm sure they could have, but for whatever reason, they have chosen not to.

I would imagine that the one they gave us is the one they probably already had designed and will show up in the printed book. Any other types will be made a later date when someone on their graphics team decides to go in and make some adjustments on their own.

But then again... if members of the community make their own edits / adjustments to it (like the great versions folks have already produced here)... this is one of those times where people's irritation and annoyance with what WotC does or does not do just seem like a tremendous waste of energy. Who actually cares who produces quality character sheets? Why does WotC not doing it cause such angst?
