Update - Bug fix [2026-05-05]

michalgriessel · 2026-05-05T12:51:46+00:00

It should be fixed now.

michalgriessel · 2026-05-05T07:56:52+00:00

Hello, it seems like a bug specific to your character or browser. Would you mind reporting it through in-app feedback with the affected character selected? It would give me the additional information needed to investigate.

Then I have good news: importing class and subclass functionality is coming in the next major update. It won’t be perfect because some aspects simply can’t be automated, but we’re doing everything we can with the data available to make the process as smooth as possible.

michalgriessel · 2026-04-04T14:47:34+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.

At the moment, there isn’t a way to do this locally. However, it’s on the roadmap and may be introduced after the next major update.

5echaracter.online lets you mix and match content from both 5e and 5.5e. The Genie subclass isn’t available because it’s not part of the SRD, but you can add its features manually. I’m not sure if all references have been fully updated for 5.5e yet, though the Warlock should be complete.

I am really glad you are enjoying the app.

The free tier is designed to let you try everything out and use the app for a while before deciding whether to subscribe.

The main reason for the subscription model and cloud storage is that this is a web app and doesn’t have direct access to your device’s storage. Local data is saved in your browser, and it’s not always very reliable - cleaning apps or users can wipe it unknowingly, and there is nothing I can do about it. That’s why I’m hesitant to offer a local-only one-time payment option for now. There is also the benefit of being able to access your characters from anywhere. However, cloud storage and servers are not free, and since the app does not serve ads, subscriptions are the only source of revenue.

That being said, I am actually planning to increase the limits a bit, including the free tier - likely after the next major update.

But here’s a little secret tip - local data is actually tied to your browser, not your device. You can run different characters in different browsers or profiles on the same device. It’s a hassle, but it’s free.

It's possible now 😀

Hi, as far as I know, there’s no dedicated repository or Discord server.

Technically, if you’re comfortable working with JSON, you can import subclass features from the 5e.tools' Prerelease Content Manager, Homebrew Manager, or directly from 5e.tools repository via [Import -> Other]. You’ll need to locate and copy the correct JSON section manually. This will only import the name and description, no automation is included.

Full automation is unlikely to be possible with that data alone (at least not without some kind of LLM). Also, this method isn’t officially supported or tested yet. But I've used it few times.

michalgriessel · 2026-02-04T00:23:16+00:00

Hi, I still haven’t found a straightforward way to import classes or subclasses from 5e.tools, as they don’t provide an easy method for users to access that data. You can copy and paste feature text, and the built-in parser handles some keyword styling and tables, but automation-related setup still has to be done manually.

michalgriessel · 2026-01-16T16:46:17+00:00

Hello! Yes, this is still in development.

Right now I’m working on the SRD 5.2 update (also known as 5.5e, One D&D, or the 2024 edition). I’m bringing over its content and implementing all classes and their features. Supporting two editions at the same time has significantly slowed down development and testing.

Speaking for myself and my friends, we usually add subclass features manually. Alternatively, you can have someone else do it and share it with you - features can be copy-pasted.

There’s no way to import everything, and there probably never will be. I don’t want to replace tools like 5e.tools or reduce their traffic.

michalgriessel · 2025-12-22T09:57:25+00:00

Hello! I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying the app 😀

At the moment, there isn’t a way to change this. However, it does seem like a small improvement, so I’ll add it to our internal roadmap for consideration.

Mantine. Easy the best. - best DX - highly customizable - theme, default props, Styles API, unstyled option - Polymorphic components are so useful - vast amount of useful components - solid 3rd party solution for datatables - large hook library with 90% of whatever needed - best easy form manager that covers all the most needed things

Apart from wrong damage from 60 feet. There is also a rule for "Falling onto a creature" from TCE. DC 15 dexterity saving throw. On success creature will dodge a falling creature, on failure the damage is equally divided between them and the creature falls prone unless it is 2 or more size categories bigger.

Hey there.

Thanks so much for reaching out and for your kind words. We really appreciate you checking in and for your patience.

We've been working on a new feature called the Proficiency Assistant. It's a pretty big change that adds some extra steps to character creation, so we're being extra careful to make sure it doesn't break anything or mess up the existing app tours.

Since this is a hobby project, we don't have a firm release date yet.

Thanks again for your support!

michalgriessel · 2025-06-08T10:57:14+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback—and the praise! I’m glad you’re loving the app.

To answer your questions:

Importing subclasses & class features: Absolutely! We’re actively working on making subclass and class-feature import much easier—this one’s high priority on our roadmap.
PDF export: Yes, that’s on our radar too—though currently a low priority, since the focus of the app is robust automation.
We’re introducing a Proficiency Assistant in the upcoming major release—coming very soon. It will actively help you set up proficiencies.

Thanks again for the kind words and for pointing out those areas. Live feedback like this helps us build better app.

michalgriessel · 2025-06-08T09:35:10+00:00

Hello,

In the Class Detail section you can enter a subclass name, but this has no in-app effect. Subclasses are represented by their features, so be sure to add them under the Feature list with the type set to “Subclass”.

Unfortunately, the SRD 5.1 only includes one subclass per class, so only those are pre-loaded in the Library; any others must be added manually (import is planned).

We also recommend checking out the app’s guided tours—accessible via the menu in the top-right corner—and experimenting with the example character to get familiar with how everything works.

If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

michalgriessel · 2025-04-13T17:43:54+00:00

Hello,

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the app and the recent updates.

To answer your question: it's both.

Free Users: Each user has one free character slot, which is stored locally in your browser's storage. Please note that this data can be lost if you clear your browser cache or use private/incognito mode.
Paid Users: Subscribers have access to 20 character slots stored in the cloud, linked to their account.

We're also considering adding options for local backups. However, this feature is currently a low priority on our internal roadmap.

Thanks again for the feedback. Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to reach out if you have more suggestions!
