Character Name
Character Name
This is your character's name - the identity they go by in the world. It could be their birth name, a chosen name, nickname, or title. This is how other players and NPCs will know your character.

Class & Level
Class & Level
Your character's class (like Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue) and current level. Classes determine your abilities, hit points, and skills. Level shows how experienced your character is - higher levels mean more powerful abilities where 20 is the highest you can go.

Background
Background
Your character's background represents their life before becoming an adventurer. Examples include Acolyte, Criminal, Folk Hero, or Soldier. Backgrounds provide skill proficiencies, languages, equipment, and special features that reflect your character's past experiences.

Player Name
Player Name
This is your real name, yes YOU! - the person playing this character. This helps the Dungeon Master and other players know who is controlling which character during the game. This was taken from the PDF of the character sheet and stuck around.

Race
Race
Your character's race, such as Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, or Dragonborn. Each race provides unique traits, bonuses to ability scores, special abilities, and often determines your character's lifespan, size, and cultural background.

Alignment
Alignment
Your character's moral and ethical outlook. Alignments combine Law vs Chaos (how they view rules) with Good vs Evil (their moral compass). For example, Lawful Good characters follow rules to help others, while Chaotic Evil characters break rules for selfish gain.

Experience Points/Milestones
Experience Points/Milestones
Experience Points (XP) track your character's progression. As you complete quests and overcome challenges, you gain XP. When you accumulate enough XP, you gain a level and become more powerful. Some games use milestone leveling instead, where you level up at story milestones. If your Dungeon Master is using Milestones instead, you can leave this blank if you prefer.

Inspiration
Inspiration
Inspiration is a reward from your Dungeon Master for excellent roleplay, creative problem-solving, or heroic actions. You can spend inspiration to gain advantage on an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. You can only have one inspiration at a time.

Ability Scores

HP Maximum
Hit Point Maximum
The total amount of damage your character can take before falling unconscious. This is determined by your class, level, and Constitution modifier. When you take damage, subtract it from your current hit points, not your maximum.

Current HP
Current Hit Points
How much health your character currently has. When you take damage, reduce this number. When it reaches 0, your character falls unconscious and begins making death saving throws. Healing restores current hit points up to your maximum.

Temporary Hit Points
Temporary Hit Points
Bonus hit points from spells, abilities, or magic items that act as a buffer against damage. Temporary hit points are lost first when you take damage, and they don't stack - you keep only the highest amount. They don't count toward healing.

Hit Dice
Hit Dice
Used during short rests to recover hit points. Each class has a different hit die (d6, d8, d10, d12). You have a number of hit dice equal to your level. Roll your hit dice and add your Constitution modifier to regain hit points. Spent hit dice return after a long rest.

Armour Class
Armour Class (AC)
How difficult you are to hit in combat. Calculated from your armor, Dexterity modifier, and other bonuses. When an enemy attacks you, they must roll equal to or higher than your AC to hit. Higher AC means you're harder to hit and take less damage.

Initiative
Initiative
Determines the order of actions in combat. When combat begins, everyone rolls a d20 and adds their initiative modifier (usually Dexterity modifier). Higher rolls act first. This number is automatically calculated from your Dexterity score.

Speed
Speed
How far your character can move in one turn, measured in feet. Most characters have a walking speed of 30 feet. Some races or abilities grant additional movement types like flying, swimming, or climbing speeds. Different terrains may modify these speeds.

Proficiency Bonus
Proficiency Bonus
A bonus that increases as you level up, added to rolls you're proficient in. This includes skill checks you're trained in, saving throws you're proficient with, and attack rolls with weapons you're proficient with. Starts at +2 for 1st level characters.

Death Saves
Death Saves
When your hit points drop to 0, you make death saving throws to determine if you live or die. Roll a d20 each turn: 10+ is a success, 9 or lower is a failure. Three successes mean you stabilize, three failures mean you die. Rolling a 1 counts as two failures, rolling a 20 lets you regain 1 hit point.

Saving Throws
Saving Throws
Rolls made to resist or reduce harmful effects like spells, traps, or poisons. Each saving throw is based on an ability score plus your proficiency bonus (if proficient). Check the circle if your class grants proficiency in that saving throw. The values auto-calculate based on your ability scores.

Skills
Skills
Specific areas of expertise your character has learned. Each skill is based on an ability score and can be improved with proficiency. Check the circle if you're proficient in that skill (from your class, background, or race). The bonus auto-calculates from the relevant ability modifier plus proficiency bonus if applicable.
