A character sheet is the page a table keeps in front of them: who the character is, the numbers used in play, and a short description. A maker is the form that turns those fields into a page you can print or save.
This page does that for the identity block. You type a name, an ancestry, a class and level, six ability scores, a background name, and appearance. The card renders here and downloads as one US Letter PDF. It does not install an app, and it does not ask you to sign in.
It does not build a full rules character. There is no hit point total, no spell list, no skills, and no equipment. Write those elsewhere, or add a line to appearance if you want them on this page. The labels follow the fifth-edition sheet: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
The name the table will say out loud. Keep titles out of this line if you can. Sixty characters is the limit, so the PDF stays on one line.
In the 2014 Player's Handbook this line is race. In the 2024 rules it is species. Either way it is the ancestry: human, elf, dwarf, and so on. This maker does not add ability increases for you.
The class name, such as fighter or wizard, and a level from 1 to 20. Level is printed as a number. The page does not turn it into proficiency, hit points, or class features.
Six whole numbers from 1 to 30. The modifier next to each score is floor((score − 10) / 2). A 10 is +0, a 16 is +3, an 8 is −1. Most new characters start between 8 and 15 before increases. Enter the scores you will actually play.
The background name only: soldier, sage, criminal, acolyte, entertainer. In 2014 a background gives skills, a tool or language, and a feature. In 2024 it gives ability score increases, an origin feat, skills, and a tool. If you want the feat or the skills on the card, add one line under appearance.
Height, build, hair, scars, clothes, and one mannerism. A few sentences. It prints under the scores and is cut off after eight lines on the PDF.
The edition switch changes the ancestry label and nothing else. You still type the final ability scores. This page does not apply increases from a book.
| 2014 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Ancestry line on the card | Race | Species |
| Where ability increases come from | Usually the race, often +2 and +1 | The background: +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1 |
| What a background gives | Skills, a tool or language, and a feature | Ability increases, an origin feat, skills, and a tool |
| What you type here | Final scores, after the race increases | Final scores, after the background increases |
