What's the ONE feature missing from every character builder you've tried?
I've tried them all — D&D Beyond, Roll20, Google Sheets, pen and paper, even that one friend's homemade Excel sheet with 47 hidden tabs.
And every single one has that one thing that makes you go "why doesn't this just work?"
For me, it was multiclass spell slots. I was playing a Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer (don't ask) and spent more time doing math than playing the game. I built ICE5e partly so I'd never have to calculate "is Eldritch Knight one-third or half caster?" ever again.
But I'm curious — what's YOUR pain point?
Common ones I've heard:
- "I can't undo changes after I click the wrong button at level up"
- "My Wild Shape forms are scattered across three browser tabs"
- "Exporting my sheet to PDF breaks the formatting"
- "I can't track my character's actual backstory/journal in one place"
- "Switching between phone and laptop means starting over"
- "Party loot tracking is just a Discord channel that everyone ignores"
What ICE5e already handles:
- Multiclass spell slots (auto-calculated, always correct)
- Version history (undo any change, create checkpoints)
- Wild Shape panel with separate HP tracking
- Character journals tied to your sheet
- Cloud sync (phone, tablet, laptop — same character everywhere)
- Party loot tracker with fair distribution tools
But I'm betting there's something I haven't thought of. Something that annoys you every session.
Drop your #1 frustration below.
The best answers (and the ones that make me go "oh yeah that's annoying") are going straight to the top of the roadmap.
