How to make a digital character sheet?

[BookTenTiger]

Let's say I've made my own custom stripped-down version of 5e, which folks often do. For those of you who have done so, how do I go about making a digital character sheet? Not just a sheet that can be printed (I've already done that), but one that can be interacted with by a player. Maybe even one that calculates things like attack bonuses and skill bonuses?

I really don't know what software is used for making custom digital character sheets these days. Any experience or advice is welcome!

I did a HERO character sheet in Excel that did all of the number crunching.

Depends how slick you want it. At the lower end you could have an interactive spreadsheet, but it won’t look fancy. Won’t cost you anything but a lot of time doing data entry and finagling formulas. At the higher end you have D&D Beyond, a platform which cost millions to develop and is still being developed to this day. We’ve been working on Level Up Gateway for about 18 months now and it’s still a long way from a basic complete version.
