MPMBs-Character-Record-Sheet VS horrifying-pdf-experiments

For this purpose I am looking for a recourse akin to the marvelous MorePurpleMoreBetter character sheet for 5e, which produces a PDF sheet containing all relevant information for the character pulled from the sources. It does not simply say "Firebolt". It tells you what firebolt does. And what sneak attack does, and what the "Outlander" background feature can do for a character.

Also check out the github page. There's a section called "additional content syntax" which has documents for how to add everything from subclasses to weapons, armor, and spells to the sheet. Also check out the "additional content" section as that has several classes sub pages to check out for examples

Inspired by the MPMB Character Sheet for D&D games, I wanted to create a sheet that has variables and functions that would function for my workplace.

You should probably start by looking at the additional content syntax on MPMB's github. I know there's already a script on there for the Warmage from Valda's Spire of Secrets and one of it's subclasses, as well as three spells from the book, so that would probably be worth taking a look at too. As it happens I'm also actually working on a script commission for someone at the moment that adds in the House of Knights Warmage and a handful of spells from Valda's Spire of Secrets.

You can get the latest version here and possibly send the creator a few bucks on Patreon to say “thanks!”

As a starting point, there are so many customized class specific character sheets (with form fillable pdfs) that better use the space than the traditional 5E sheet. I used these character sheets a bunch; I also used the earliest iteration of the MPMB sheet but haven't circled back to them in years. My "character sheet" has never been limited to a single double sided piece of paper. Since 4E, I've used a binder with a bunch of info broken out into chunks with dividers. I've kept multiple characters in the binder; several years into 5E, I noticed it was getting a bit full so finally chucked the 4E references still lingering in the back of the binder.

Here to second More Purple More Better’s character sheets.

If you want a pdf character sheet that autocalculates, I use More Purple More Better. Great if you need an offline character sheet.

I think this is it: https://github.com/osnr/horrifying-pdf-experiments

Here's the link to horrifying-pdf, a GitHub repo with a link that lets you play breakout entirely inside a PDF file.

Apparently PDF's have enough weird functionality that you can even build a simple video game in them. Check out https://github.com/osnr/horrifying-pdf-experiments

You can even play games embedded into your PDF file

If you're mocking me for avoiding client-side scripting then without discipline PDF is hardly any better. I disable JS by default (and only turn them for e.g. to reply to you here because Reddit decides to inject forms instead of hiding them via CSS) and the browsing experience is a lot snappier.
