I finally have a working prototype for this project that I’m calling “live”. Yay!
The current version p0.11 covers the most basic bare-bones fields to calculate a DND 5e character (not 2024 rules) but doesn’t include a wizard or any rolling tools to actually generate the character from scratch. Future versions will include race and class selection, backgrounds, feats, level-up tools, a character creation wizard, loot and gear selection, gold-by-level, experience required to level, and hopefully also some nice tools to help players who want to use this tool to hold their character sheet.
I would love to see it be as useful and easy as the Baldur’s Gate 3 level-up tool, but with some features specifically useful for a tabletop game and not a video game — like a mode that says you’re concentrating on a spell and greys out the other conc spells so you can see at a glance which is which. Or a button that activates Rage so you can see the bonus to your weapon damage and STR throws. Or some color overlay indicating you have a negative status effect, or a potion active like Enlarge.
In any case, these ideas are all heavily dependent on the time I have in the future outside of writing and my day job, so we’ll have to see how much I can get done.
