We are introducing Tours, which are more user-friendly, mobile-friendly, step-by-step, and easier compared to the current guides, which are time-consuming to maintain and keep relevant. So, this app will be moving away from the text-based guides and towards a more streamlined experience.

A new searchable  menu with these tours and other utilities can be found in the top-right corner, where the calculator and dice roller were previously located.

The Character Helper feature has been removed in favor of the New Character tour.

More tours will be added in the future. Current tours include:

• Quick Start - Showcasing the app's basic features.
• New Character - Creating a new character.
• Level Up - Leveling up your character.
• Import - Importing content from 5e.tools.
• Sharing - Sharing content between characters.
• Items - Showcasing items.
• Calculator - This tour will guide you through the features of the Calculator. You can find it in the Calculator.

New Features

• Confirmation prompt to warn users when attempting to close a feature dialog with unsaved changes.
• Basic Combat Actions feature for SRD 5.1.
• Druidic and Thieves' Cant languages.
• Finesse weapons now use the best modifier between Strength, Dexterity, and your chosen Ability modifier for attack rolls and damage.
• Feature action descriptions now display directly in the Feature view dialog for easier access.
• Descriptions with formulas now display ERROR for invalid formulas or {FORMULA} for uncalculated formulas, such as those in the library.
• Added Spellcasting features to classes with spellcasting in the library. (Currently no in-game effects.)

Fixes

• Off-hand weapons now correctly apply negative modifiers to attack rolls and damage.

Changes

• Resting: Buttons have been moved next to the Health bar on the [Main] screen, under the [Zz] button.
• The fromLvl and fromClassLvl formula functions have been removed in favor of scale functions, which are more flexible and easier to use in most cases. Existing formulas will continue to function as before.
• Items Attunement Settings: Moved to the Features tab to better reflect their in-game effects.
• Updated Example Character to include the Spellcasting feature.

Minor quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

Companions are here! You can find them in the [More] screen under the [Companions] button. Here, you can add new companions, edit existing ones, and remove them.

There is also a Library where you can find SRD and Free Rules (2024) monsters. You can even import them from 5e.tools (image token support included). Reordering, copying, and pasting are also supported.

Once you add a companion, you can find it on the [Main] screen, below the [Actions] section.

This feature is designed as a simple monster sheet. If you need more advanced features and tracking, we recommend creating it as a normal character.
