A custom unique character sheet for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.
The sheet consists of three pages - the main page with all the key information, a second page with a lot of extra space for abilities, features and inventory and a third page acting a spellbook, fully dedicated to known and memorised spells, spell slots and spellcasting stats.

The charsheet comes in two versions - one is form-fillable, which you can fill in on PC in any pdf reader (acrobat, foxit, etc) and then save and print. The other file is without fields for those who prefer to fill in their character sheets by hand.

The character sheet is designed in high medieval style, with hand-drawn icons for visualisation and is sure to spark awe and discussion around the table as well as add a touch of atmosphere and roleplay.
Besides beautiful design the sheet adds a lot of extra functionality in a neat and easy to reference way:

All your key stats that you need most commonly are collected on page 1 and are easy to find and reference thanks to visual cues and icons.
Skills are grouped by related attribute, which makes it very easy to calculate the skill bonus.
All the information needed for skill checks and saves is located in one place.
There are three slots for armor class - with shield, without shield and natural AC. No need to recalculate your AC whenever you're caught without a shield or armor.
A large space to track HP allows a lot of pencil scratching and erasing during a session.
Page two features a prominent section for equipped items - no longer search your huge inventory for the ability of that magical weapon you're wielding - list it separately!
A separate space to keep all your one-use items. Never again forget you had that potion or scroll!
A large space for assorted inventory with slots for ammunition and money.
A HUGE space for feats, abilities, effects etc.
The spellcasting sheet features all the info you need to cast in one place - your spellcasting ability, save DC, attack bonus and all spells as well as total and expended spell slots.
Remembered spells are easy to mark and track.

2 files: 1) form-fillable and 2) plain
Each file is 3 pages: 1) main sheet 2) inventory and feats 3) spellcasting
The pdf are formatted for standard A4 (US legal) paper.

Nobles having better heating and more consistent food would have had lesser child mortality rates, though probably not a whole lot less

But none of those things would contribute to them not dying from the disease, or even contracting it, since we aren't talking about child mortality. When it comes to the Black Death, age didn't matter much.

Also, nobles tended to have a diet higher in fats and sweets (because it tasted good) but these foods actually had less nutritional value than what peasants typically ate (and FWIW their food was actually very healthy, albeit variety was limited and more of an issue). Nobles also really didn't have better heating (look at the size of the rooms they tried to heat!). Despite movie and show depictions of peasants living in squalor, many had very nice family homes that were upkept and improved over generations. Besides, any harder living conditions peasants might have had would have increased their resistance, they also worked harder than typical nobles. However, I will state many nobles did maintain an active lifestyle if possible and often worked hard on their own lands some.

Urban vs. rural conditions would have been more a factor. Nobles and peasant alike, living in urban conditions (over crowded, rats more common, extremely bad water and waste, etc.) would have likely had a higher DC than people of any kind in the rural areas (less dense population, fewer vermin, better water sources, more space for waste disposal, etc.).

And frankly, there wouldn't be a difference between noble or peasant.

Elites (which I think is what you really mean, because noble status was a different thing that may or may not go hand in hand with wealth or power in some medieval contexts) did have several advantages vs. disease. While communal sleeping was the norm in the middle ages they were less likely to be sharing a bed with more than one person, whereas a poor family might very well all be in one bed. They were also unlikely to be sleeping in close quarters with livestock. They also potentially had the means and distant social contacts to head elsewhere during the heights of epidemics (ie: the premise of the Decameron's frame narrative is rich Florentines spending two weeks at a country villa while the plague ravages their city. Perhaps most importantly they were much more likely to have space to quarantine a household member. While a lack of understanding of what was actually effective made these advantages less useful than they would otherwise be, on a pure statistical level (such as that represented by a D20 die and a DC) I think it merits giving them some advantage.

Also, nobles tended to have a diet higher in fats and sweets (because it tasted good) but these foods actually had less nutritional value than what peasants typically ate (and FWIW their food was actually very healthy, albeit variety was limited and more of an issue).

While their food was at times and places less healthy than that of their social inferiors they consistently got enough of it. Perhaps rather than factoring diet into a save vs disease roll it would make more sense to just let them forgo a peasant malnourishment roll.

Ok, "elites" then. Valid since a rich merchant would certainly have those advantages without being "noble."

But, the DC for a save is made once contact is made, not to determine if contact happens.

So, as I said before, none of those factors would contribute to better chances of surviving the disease.

While their food was at times and places less healthy than that of their social inferiors they consistently got enough of it. Perhaps rather than factoring diet into a save vs disease roll it would make more sense to just let them forgo a peasant malnourishment roll.

It was at not at times less healthy, it was quite often if they were rich enough to afford it. They also used a lot of heavy creams, more so than the poor people would. Poor people didn't have any more malnourishment than elite, or if so it was not enough to be a factor.

Now, admittedly I misread the second part:

2. Roll a Constitution save against starvation. If you fail, your character dies.

In reading it quickly I thought it was a second save against the plague also, just to be funny.

Poor people certainly were more likely to starve simply because they couldn't afford food when it was scarce, while elites had the money to pay for it. But even then it is more still an issue of urban vs. rural. In rural areas, food could be gathered in the local area if need be.

All in all, I would call the difference in food choices vs. the potential lack of food a wash and figure they cancel each other out, which would keep the DC the same over all.
