Some friends wanted to start a campaign and I’m trying to digitize my character sheet. Initially I was going to use d&dbeyond so I could send my DM the character sheet digitally and make it easier for them, but I can’t pick Drow without paying for the character, for whatever silly reason. I’ve been checking out all the apps I can find on the play store and I can’t find any with Drow.

Are their any apps that give you all the character options? I’m using Android but I don’t mind switching over to my laptop (Windows/Linux). I had originally wanted an offline app but opted for online to help the DM, but since that won’t be possible anymore I could care less. Still, online apps are fine as I can just block their access to the internet or suffer the occasional ad if I really must.

    If you want to stick with DnD beyond, there’s an option to homebrew races and you can “homebrew” a 5e drow for personal use. Just copy the template for a similar race and you can adjust features. I will warn you though, the UI is pretty unintuitive so it might take some work

        Definitely recommend roll20. Our group moved there during the lockdowns and we finished one campaign and began another. We played Pathfinder.

        There is stuff you can purchase but it’s mostly cosmetics like tokens or dynamic lighting.

    There’s an android app called 5e character sheet that has all the published options. It has an icon like a green d20.

    Edit: it’s called “fifth edition character sheet”

      +1 for this. Keeps all of my characters nice and tidy. Whenever you level up, you pick your new abilities from a list of options, and then it’ll autofill that into your character sheet. It won’t autofill your spells, though, so I use a different app for that. The only downside is that some of the abilities for certain classes aren’t named correctly, I assume due to copyright issues. But the names are pretty clear what they’re referencing (example: Agonizing Blast = Potent Cantrip).

      So for me it’s got a red dragon icon, but I believe we have the same app. I wanted to use this one initially, but it was missing Drow, then I looked in the settings and found I could download a bunch of d&d info and Drow is an option! I think this might be what I use for Android!

    I realize that you can’t just move to a different game, but I’d still like to encourage people to play Pathfinder. All of its rules are available for free online.
