Some friends wanted to start a campaign and I’m trying to digitize my character sheet. Initially I was going to use d&dbeyond so I could send my DM the character sheet digitally and make it easier for them, but I can’t pick Drow without paying for the character, for whatever silly reason. I’ve been checking out all the apps I can find on the play store and I can’t find any with Drow.

Are their any apps that give you all the character options? I’m using Android but I don’t mind switching over to my laptop (Windows/Linux). I had originally wanted an offline app but opted for online to help the DM, but since that won’t be possible anymore I could care less. Still, online apps are fine as I can just block their access to the internet or suffer the occasional ad if I really must.

    Not sure if Fight Club is on Android, but that used to be my go-to app before Beyond. There’s also programs like Foundry, if you don’t mind the initial license purchase. You may be able to pirate Foundry, but it’s honestly pretty cheap to begin with.

    I mention Foundry because if you have any friends who could share D&D Beyond content with you, then you can use an extension to scrape the shared modules and dump them directly into your Foundry campaign. Or as a last ditch effort, you could just recreate them from scratch, since Foundry is primarily focused on homebrew and custom content anyways. Just add it as custom content and you’re all set. It’ll take a while to properly code, but the basics will go quick enough.

      Couldn’t find Fight Club on android, so probably just iOS. I’ll check out Foundry, it’s awesome just how many tools have been created for d&d, but I suppose expected with such a strong fanbase. Wish I got into this back in HS.

          I see, so apparently my phone won’t support it, no idea why, I’ve got a pixel5a on android13. It is rooted if that changes anything. This happened with another app I was recommended, but I just found an APK online, guess I’ll do the same with this one.

          Edit: Seems to be Google shenanigans:

          Starting from 1 Nov 2022, apps that don’t target an API level within two years of the latest Android release (API 29 and below) won’t be available to new users with devices running Android versions newer than your app’s target API level. This means that new users won’t be able to discover or install your app on Google Play
