Character Craft 5.5e includes only the freely available content authorized by WOTC, known as the SRD 5.2, by default.

CC5.5e can import:

• Native JSON files exported by other players
• XML files following the FC5 format

Some community members create and share extended content on their own pages.

No. The structure of CC5.5e is different and the data the character needs to function correctly does not exist in the file that other apps export.

With Premium (Unlimited Characters), you gain access to:

• Creating more than 3 characters
• Online Initiative Tracker
• Cloud Sync to save and sync characters across platforms
• Ad-free

To update it, simply go to the image and click on the Gear icon in the bottom right corner.

We recommend using Imgur to host your images. For animated WEBP files, we recommend Postimg.

To add a custom resource to a Feature, open the Feature's edit screen and scroll to the bottom. There you will find the Custom Resources section.

1. Click Add Custom Resource.
2. Enter the desired name for your resource.
3. Set the number of uses (you can use formulas like pb for proficiency bonus, etc.).
4. Specify how many charges are recovered per rest (use all to recover all charges).

This allows you to track and manage any custom resource your Feature provides.

Go to Edit Feature → Character Bonuses section.

There you can add bonuses to:

• Stats, Attack rolls, Damage, Saving throw DCs, etc.

Edit the Feature and fill the Action Type field with the desired value (Action, Bonus Action, Reaction, etc.). The list will display those entries sorted alphabetically.

Not sure what to write? Check the Demo Characters for reference examples.

1. Check the Feature that grants Spellcasting
2. Make sure the option "Includes Spellcasting" is enabled
3. Then check and edit the number of spell slots available at that level

Use +spell in the roll formula.

The system will automatically use the modifier from the spellcasting ability set in the spell.

Check if the Spellcasting Multiplier is set correctly for each of your classes. An error in an older version could cause this value to be imported as 1.0 for all classes.

1. Go to your class settings and verify the Spellcasting Multiplier value.
2. Adjust it according to the official multiclass spellcasting rules if needed.
3. If this information is already correct, check if the spell slots are filled in the Spellcasting Feature in your character's Features list.

The recharge system supports three main categories:

1. Rest or Time-based Recharges (Default)

The system automatically recognizes these terms in the recharge field:

• Dawn: Recharges at dawn. (Example: "dawn")
• Dusk: Recharges at dusk. (Example: "dusk")
• Short Rest: Recharges after a short rest. (Example: "short rest")
• Long Rest: Recharges after a long rest. (Example: "long rest")
• Short or Long Rest: Recharges on any rest. (Example: "short/long rest")

2. Dice Recharge

Used for items that have a chance to recharge (e.g., "Recharge 5-6").

• recharge: The die to roll (e.g., d6).
• rechargeAmount: The success range (e.g., 5-6).

Result: A die button 🎲 appears. Clicking it rolls the die and recharges if successful.

3. Special or Free Text

• Special: For unique conditions ("special").
• Never: For finite consumables ("never").
• Free Text: If recharge is empty, rechargeAmount text is displayed.

How to automate Lay on Hands?

You just need to create a Custom Resource on the Feature.

You can fill the value for each level individually or enter 5*classlevel:paladin at level 1 of the Counter.

This formula means the maximum value is 5 times the Paladin class level (must be the exact class name).

The Demo Character Dominus is a good example of this feature.

How to add Sneak Attack damage?

There are two ways to do this:

• Weapon Formula: Add an extra Damage die to the weapon's formula. This allows you to toggle the added damage on or off when rolling the attack.
• Toggleable Bonus (Recommended): Use a Toggleable Bonus (by editing the Feature that grants Sneak Attack) that adds a Damage Formula Bonus of 1d6 (or the desired value). The Demo Character Lanaya is a good example of this feature.

How to add racial bonuses (Poison Resistance, HP bonus per level, Tremorsense)?

To add these bonuses, modify the racial Feature (usually named Dwarf Traits) or another desired feature:

• Poison Resistance: Add a permanent bonus of Damage Resistance (Poison).
• HP Bonus: Add a Permanent Character Bonus of "Hit Point Bonus" and set the value to level. The system will automatically add the character's current level to Max HP.

How to add the Lineage Spell?

How to add the Initiative bonus?

To add your Proficiency Bonus to Initiative, you can edit the initiative directly by clicking on its card. However, to automate this so you don't need to update it when leveling up:

1. Open the Feature that grants this bonus (or another desired Feature).
2. Add a Permanent Character Bonus.
3. Select Initiative Bonus and set the value to pb.

This ensures the system always uses your current Proficiency Bonus and adds it automatically to your final Initiative value.

How to add the extra hit points?

To automate this, you can use a simple formula:

1. Edit the Tough feat.
2. Go to the Permanent Character Bonuses section.
3. Add a value to Hit Points.
4. Set the value to 2 * level.

This will automatically calculate the correct bonus (2 HP per level) as you level up.
