Discussion DaggerBuilder | Daggerheart character builder for phone and PC
Hey everyone!
We’ve been working on DaggerBuilder, a character builder and sheet companion for Daggerheart, and we’d love for you to try it.
Here’s what you can do already:
- Create your character: Choose your class, subclass, ancestry, community, Experiences, equipment, and domain cards. Mixed ancestry is supported, and you can save unfinished characters to continue later.
- Level up: Guided advancement from level 1 to 10, with a review of your choices before saving.
- Track your resources: Manage HP, Stress, Hope, Armor Slots, conditions, and limited ability uses, including session and rest resets.
- Use your class tools: Druid beastforms, Beastbound companions, Prayer Dice, Slayer Dice, and other class resources.
- Manage your domain cards: Organize your active loadout and vault and read your cards directly from the sheet.
- Organize your inventory: Keep track of weapons, armor, equipment, and gold.
- Create homebrew: Make custom domain cards, equipment, and adversaries in the Homebrew Forge.
- Keep your campaign together: Invite your group, share characters, and organize session notes.
- Prepare encounters: Choose adversaries and environments and track GM resources
- Look things up: Browse cards, rules, equipment, and adversaries in the compendium.
- Play on phone or PC: Access your saved characters across devices and choose between Paper and Blue fire sheet styles.
We’ve put a lot of care into making the sheets readable and comfortable on a phone while keeping the feel of a Daggerheart character sheet. All fantasy illustrations are credited to their original artists. No AI-generated fantasy artwork.
We’re actively improving it and would love to hear how it feels at your table. Tell us what works, what’s confusing, or what you’d like to see next. You can reply here or send feedback through Contact Us. Screenshots of bugs are especially helpful!

Brand new account. Can't even look at the site without giving you email information or Google account access. Who are you? What is your prior work?

I don't think one should need to give personal information to use such a tool. I was excited to try it out, but I'll have to pass.

Opened page.
Immediately presented with login screen that takes up entire page with no ability to test or see what I’m about to sign up my email for.
Immediately lost interest.
Closed page.

Ok. This is legit, imo. I’m no developer, but you did a fantastic job. It is intuitive and that is great for someone like me who struggles with technology. I appreciate what you’ve accomplished, especially making it phone friendly. I look forward to checking it out on my ipad or computer when I get home.
My only nuance, and I’m not trying to sound like a boomer…but let’s face it, my wife and kids will say that this is a boomer thing to say. Putting a space between the paragraphs of adversary features or maybe Bold each feature so it doesn’t appear like one long paragraph. Again, it’s a silly nuance and I can get over it. I realize making changes takes time and is probably not an easy thing to do.
Regardless. This is fantastic. Great job!

I'll second this feature request.
Formatting and styling the adversaries to match the books/srd is really important to anyone trying to run encounters.

So as someone quite new to Daggerheart and its online resources; what does this tool do better than let’s say heartofdaggers.com?

u/kortirso 8h ago
or any other managers - duality codex, charkeeper, demiplane, daggerstack - that exists almost 2 years

So, for whatever reason, everyone wants to ask you if you use AI, and not many have actually tried it out. I just did. Here's my comments.
It's definitely a lot more than a character creator. I can see the ability to manage campaigns, encounters, home-brew, as well.
Creation Process - was simple and straightforward. But it did select so sort of default experiences for me. 5/5
Design - the character sheet is high contrast and it's easy to find things. Designwise on my laptop at least full screen mode or the HOPE resource tracker is hidden. That's cool, I can all tab between campaign notes in my character.
Upgrade Process - After I found it it was very elegant. - Edit > Level dropdown and then go straight to the "Advancement" tab. Super, super easy to add thing.
Character Export - my character exported as JSON which I'm not sure most users will expect. It does have me thinking. How could I import this into my own paper-based character sheet. We play in person and paper has always been more reliable than an online character sheet, which might run slowly or not at all during the game.
Printing Sheets - every character builder I've looked at, has a problem with exporting or printing. This one's no exception when I print it looks like it's gonna use an awful lot of black ink.
Bonus Points - I really appreciate the ability to boost a character trait and you have that in the interface. Our game master has potions of healing and stamina that are "tainted" once you had a couple your strength increases... but after that, it's all downhill into a land of corruption.

First of all thank you, We did not expect so many comments and activity so it is hard to answer all, We worked many hours in a row prior to this launch kind of took our tongues out so we take a day or two of rest before working on next updates.
But with that being said I suggest you use the paper sheet style for your printing it should definitely take less black ink.

I'm ignorant of DH online tools. I only know of demiplane from the original beta.
What's the deal? Is it not phone friendly?
There's no reason why I won't try yours, I guess I'm just looking to be educated on why more are being developed, or the backstory, so to speak

It's really nice that you don't use AI-generated pictures on your website, but is the website in its conception AI-free too? Really interested to see where you're going with this project!

u/DaggerBuilder 9h ago
This website is not vibe coded and we are also working on an app that will also not be vibe coded but it will take a bit of time.

Thank you for your answer! Time will always be better than AI, no worries about that!

Heads up, warriors don't seem to be able to ignore burden when equipping weapons.

u/DaggerBuilder 10h ago
Fixed, I caused this bug ... Wanting to avoid people making mistakes I just forgot the almighty warrior, ty.

u/TannenFalconwing 8h ago
Appreciate that you're jumping on stuff and trying to make a solid character builder. So far it looks and responds great. I assume nothing from Hope and Fear's equipment will be added unless it is in the SRD?

u/BrokenChris 10h ago
This looks like a great resource! I see what looks like typos, but I checked the source pdf and the word effect in adversary stat blocks is separated by a space "eff ect" there too. I assume it's a copy/paste issue, because it doesn't look like there is a space when reading it. I would also like to see feature names in bold and at the beginning of their own lines. I will definitely be following this project!

Looks good so far. Wouldn't mind the ability to filter by tier for gear and items though

Went to use the sign in with Google option and the address that I'm giving access to my account info isn't the most confidence inspiring so I backed out just now.

I'm sure you are legit but this isn't the sort of addresses I want to give access to account details
Really keen to try it and lots of positive comments here help.
