Content

Introducing an easier way to check if short descriptions will fit on the character sheets. As I'm working on transcribing all the content, I've grown tired of having to go back and forth between the two versions of the sheet to see if everything fits on both.

Download MPMB Helper File

To remedy this, I've created this helper PDF. It contains all the multi-line fields from both sheets which mirror each other while keeping their own formatting. The last page of the PDF has a writing style guide so you can reference the types of things I shorten and abbreviate. Hopefully more of you can benefit from this file when writing your own add-on scripts.

I know you are all waiting patiently for the magic items to be implemented, but sadly there are so many that it is not a fast process and I don't have much to show at the moment.

This helper file will make it easier for me to request assistance from the community, for example with testing magic item short descriptions, but more on that later!

I have updated the attached helper file to now:

Have a version number (currently v1.1.1).

Have buttons do more than just reset the fields, each can:

Reset

Convert to the metric system

Convert to the imperial system

Convert to first person

The conversion from and to metric units is there to check if whatever you are adding doesn't overflow when the sheet is set to metric.

The conversions to first person is very rudimentary, beware to double check its result for grammatical nonsense.

If you want to follow the progress of the magic item transcription, you can check out this Google Sheet. I'll keep it updated as I progress.

View Magic Item Progress

All items listed in it have had a first pass, where all the information from the book was added. Next they still require:

Transcribing: writing a short description, adding/correcting their automation.

Checking: double-checking if the short description and the information coptied from the book is correct.

Testing: if they do what they are supposed to do in the sheet's automation.

Some people have expressed that they want to help transcribe magic items in the past, and this is also how it was done for the 5e (2014) magic items. I haven't setup anything to work on this with multiple people, but I could, depending on interest.

If you have experience writing add-on scripts for the MPMB Character Sheets and you would want to help transcribing magic items, let me know in a comment, on Discord, or through my website's contact form.

If there is enough interest from skilled transcribers, I am happy to facilitate a way for you to contribute to this project.

I'm loving it! I wonder if there was a way you could get the "A in the Triangle" and the "C in the Diamond" icons of Attuned and Concentration?

I'm happy to hear you like this helper file. What do you mean with icons for attuned and concentration? Where would they go? The sheet uses the text "conc" in the duration column of the spell sheet for spells that require concentration. The first column is used for marking which spells are prepared. Changing that to denote which spells require concentration makes little sense to me, as you'd lose the possibility to mark them as prepared. Attunement is handled with the checkbox in the magic item section, which is only visible when a magic item requires attunement. What purpose would adding another icon for it serve?

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Basically, *because* these sheets are so awesome, I use them for ALL of my character needs, including future plans, my spell references (outside of the included awesome spell sheets), and wants; magic items I plan to buy, etc. And in those blurbs, I track which spells require Concentration, which magic items require Attunement, etc. The small little icons that DnD Beyond use. Look up any item or spell and it might have the small A in the triangle or C in the diamond. It is absolutely 100% pure "want" instead of "need," to have these. And I only want them because the flexibility in the Notes pages allows me to expand so far beyond simple notes; I can do so much that it hurts that I can't do *this* little bit more, understand? Like I said, pure WANT. :) I wish I could show a snippet of some of my Notes pages to give you a better idea. I also use Homebrewery (https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/) and I got them to add them. It seemed a wild oversight that they didn't already have it. .page { .icon { position: relative; width: 1.5em; text-align: center; color: white; font-size: 0.6em; margin: 5px; font-family:sans-serif; &:before { content: ''; position: absolute; width: 1.7em; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; background-color: black; z-index: -1; top: 50%; left: 50%; translate:-50% -50%; transform: rotate(45deg); } &.tri::before { width:2.2em; transform:none; border-radius:10px 10px 0 0; border-top-left-radius:10px 20px; border-top-right-radius:10px 20px; corner-shape:bevel; translate:-50% -65%; } } } and the markdown: {{icon C}} V,S,M : {{icon,tri A}}

Thank you for being such an avid user of my sheets! I get what you are saying, but the text fields in an AcroForm do not support adding custom icons. They display purely text and I can't make them do anything else. Any custom icon you see is loaded via a different way and can only be displayed in fixed places (not in-line with text). What you can try is unicode/emoji websites with and copy from there into the form field. For most that won't work, but for some it might. For example, I use the copyright icon "©" for indicating if a spell requires concentration, and the fish eye icon "◉" to indicate if a spell requires line of sight. You could do something similar on your Notes pages and use the circled A character "Ⓐ" to indicate magic items that require attunement? If you are dead-set on using those specific icons, you could make your own font and use that in the sheet. If you want to share images and do these kind of discussions, I can't recommend joining the Discord server highly enough, because it is much easier to share images, links, and for others to join the conversation with possible solutions.

You can't add that file to the v24 beta, because it is made for the 2014 version of the sheet. That file depends on the built-in class code from the 5e sheets. Those things aren't present in the 2024 (5.5e) sheets, thus the file will fail. Making the legacy content compatible with the newer version is one of the features that will be voted upon after the coming version is done.

So if you cant use the scripts with the v24 beta how do you get extra subclasses? What does the v24 contain? Does it have all the new classes and subclasses for the 5.5e?

2026-09-20 06:00 The v24 beta is still work in progress and doesn't have all the 2024 SRD content in it yet, let alone the newer publications. I'm currently working hard on adding all the DMG content (magic items), after which the sheet will be taken out of beta and published as a stable version. What content will be added to it next will depend on the vote here on Patreon. To get more content , you can use the fan-made add-on scripts, which can be found in the Add-on Scripts Index (https://flapkan.com/mpmb/index). To get legacy content, do not use the all_wotc file, but instead add the sources one by one so you can skip the ones that don't work. The all_wotc file is a combination of all the 5e content and unfortunately some of them are not compatible with the 2024 sheet.
