Everything set before you pay.

A single HTML file: your character as a custom, playable table companion. Open it in any browser, on any device. It tracks your resources, surfaces your key abilities, and walks you through your turn. It’s yours to keep and use offline forever.

Your 5th-edition (5e) character sheet as a PDF — the standard sheet layout, one you have the right to use. We accept PDF files only. The richer the sheet, the richer the companion.

Playrest reads the standard D&D 5th edition character sheet — the familiar layout with abilities, skills, attacks, and features. That’s what we’re built for and the only format we can promise. PDFs from third-party character generators use their own layouts, and builds from those usually stop rather than finish. If your sheet is the classic printable sheet or an export from the official digital toolset, you’re in great shape. Playrest is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any game publisher.

No. It’s an independent tool made by one person. It isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by any game publisher, and it isn’t a rulebook or a replacement for one. It’s a private play aid built from your character.

No. Companions summarize and operationalize the character data you provide — what your abilities do, in your own play terms — rather than reproducing proprietary rules text. Where open-licensed reference content applies, it’s attributed.

Honestly, yes — with a lot of prototyping and iteration. That’s the point of this: we spent the long tail of trial-and-error so you get a finished companion in one straight shot for a few dollars.

Completely. It’s one file. Download it and it runs with your connection off — no account, no login, no tracking, nothing that calls home. Ideal for the table.

Fifth-edition (5e) characters on the standard sheet today. Other formats and systems aren’t supported yet — a build from one will usually stop before a companion is made.

One person who loves the game and wanted every player to walk into a session knowing exactly what their character can do. That’s the whole mission.
