LaTeX package to typeset character sheets for the fifth edition of the "world's greatest roleplaying game".

Primary LanguageTeX

DND 5e LaTeX Character Sheet Template

LaTeX template to typeset Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition character sheets.

Features

  • Character and Spell sheets
  • High degree of customisation available
  • Works with XeTeX locally or via GitHub actions

Usage

Building a character sheet

It is reccomended to look at pre-existing character sheets in the characters directory when using this repository for the first time, each text input area of the character sheet is fillable with functions defined in the template, however it may require some trial and error to have the sheet looking as you intend.

Compliation

If you use this as a template repository, there is a configured GitHub Action which will compile all .tex files in the characters directory to PDF sheets in situ. Alternatively it is reccomended to use XeLaTeX and the DnD 5e LaTeX Template if compiling locally.

Customisation

There are a large number of character sheet customisation options available in character-sheet-settings.tex which acts a central location to modify colour and opacity for a number of character sheet elements.

Dependencies

This package requires LaTeX and the DnD 5e LaTeX Template. I reccomend using the instructions provided with this package to set up your environment if not using the included GitHub action.
