Intro

The Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition character sheet was created by Alex L. and Ville S. later updated and added to by Wes. It is a very comprehensive sheet and has a lot of fields for recording a characters various abilities, features, powers, etc. Most of the sections are collapsible for users to configure what is showing at any given time.

The intent of this wiki page is to aid GM/DM’s and players to get the most out of the sheet and it’s features. There are some complex roll mechanics happening behind the scenes, this page should help you to understand what is happening and improve your experience while using the sheet.
