Overview

The D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet is based on the design of the original D&D 5e Character Sheet by John Myles. Modifications have been made to present the information in a more concise, readable way so that users can find information quickly.

Please see the Character Sheet wiki page for general information about setting and using character sheets. To use the sheet in your campaign, select Dungeons and Dragons: 5th Edition (Shaped) in your campaign settings.

This sheet includes both a Player (PC) and an NPC Sheet. The pertinent sheet can be toggled in the upper left of the sheet. The Player sheet is green when toggled on and the NPC sheet is purple when toggled on. There are various tabs in blue just below the header information where the information about the character is stored. The currently selected tab is a darker blue than the other tabs. The gear icon tab is a settings tab which modifies various things about the sheet as a whole. Finally, if you click on the Show All tab, every tabs can be presented at once and seen by scrolling down the page.

There is an option in the top right of the sheet to present the sheet in English or German languages.

If you are starting fresh with the D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet, just enter your character information as normal. If you are converting from the original D&D 5e Character Sheet, see the next section about which things have changed and will need to be edited.
