In D&D, your character sheet is your most important piece of adventuring equipment. This sheet of paper, whether physical or digital, tells you everything you need to know about your hero, from their ability scores to their class features.
So grab your quill because, in this realm, the pen is truly mightier than the sword—or rather, is your sword. Explore below to see the many official options for your hero's character sheet!

D&D Beyond is the official digital toolset of fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons. Among various tools to simplify your game, you'll find the Character Builder, which walks you through the character creation process from start to finish and provides a digital character sheet upon completion.
This sheet allows you to track Hit Points, equipment, spells, and abilities, and makes the leveling-up process a breeze. It also allows you to roll ability checks, saving throws, attacks, and damage with a click of your mouse (and yes, it does the math as well).
You can even style your character sheet to fit your hero with customizable backgrounds, themes, and character portraits.
D&D Beyond is free to use; sign up today and start creating characters using the Basic Rules! Users without a subscription can create up to six characters to use in their games. You can also access a trove of new character options by purchasing official D&D content in the marketplace.
