Frequently Asked Questions and User Guide

1. Why are some classes, items, or species missing from the app?

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

2. Where can I get more content to import?

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.

3. What do I get with Premium?

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
Note: Premium is required per platform, except for Mac and iOS which share the same store.

4. I added a Feature with limited-use resources (Rage, Second Wind, Luck, etc.), but I can't find how to use them.

You need to add a Custom Counter to the Feature or Feat:

  1. Go to Edit Feature, scroll down, and click Add Custom Counter
  2. Give it a name, define the number of uses per level
  3. Set when it resets (e.g., Long Rest)

5. My Feature gives a bonus to my character. How can I apply it?

Go to Edit Feature → Character Bonuses section.

There you can add bonuses to:

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

You can use:

  • +2 - Direct values
  • pb - for Proficiency Bonus
  • Wisdom - Ability names in English
  • spell - gets your character or spell spellcasting attribute
  • level - gets your character total level
  • classlevel:classname - gets a specific class level

6. My character doesn't have spell slots. What should I do?

  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

7. My spell adds the spellcasting ability modifier (like Cure Wounds). How do I automate that in the roll?

Use +spell in the roll formula.

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

Example:

For Cure Wounds: 1d8+spell

8. My Multiclass Spell Slots are incorrect. What should I do?

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.
