Hello all,

I purchased the Beast Master archetype from the marketplace and was just wondering how I keep track of me companion's stats. My dm gave me a separate character sheet irl for this but I was hoping to move all my info to this site for the ease of it all. Is there a way, or am I stuck with the physical character sheet for my giant eagle?

Thanks!

DDB developers are working on a feature that will add companions to the character sheet.  What I have done in the meantime is create a homebrew monster with the correct stats.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'll be looking forward to that update

Hey! I just found that you can click “Creatures” on your character sheet, then click “Manage Creatures” and add your companion from there.

Is there anyway of adding equipment to the creature, i.e. armour so that it increases the AC stats on the character sheet? 

No but you can manually adjust the AC and put a note in.

ah gotcha, that's simple enough 

many thanks 

where was this located on the character sheet?  do i have to purchase the PHB before it shows up?  i have the beast master add on already.

They have changed it. On your sheet where it gives the box for attacks, actions and spells and all that, at the end on the right is a tab for "Extras", this will include an option for adding things like animal companions, wildshapes, summoned creatures, and more.

thx!

Thanks, i found that 1 minute after posting ☺

I was hoping to make a page for my Hound of Ill Omen, so I can have the stats right there. Any thoughts on how to do that??

Make a copy of the Dire Wolf and adjust accordingly.

 Create the Hound of Ill Omen as a (private) homebrew monter (Creations>Homebrew>Create a Monster)

Then add it to your character sheet via the Extras tab.  (Note that you will need to have the homebrew toggle turned on for the character in question:  tap on the character name, choose Preferences, and you will see the toggle)

why does my home brew creature not show up when i try to add it to my character sheet but it shows up in my home brew collection list

 Three points:

1. There is currently a glitch with adding homebrew monsters as Extras.
2. This thread is almost a year old. For threads more than 6months without being used, it is preferred that we not redirect them.
3. If you simply skim through the recent bug reports, you will find at least a half dozen more recent posts about this issue.
