Hey all! Two updates for you today: PC Sheet Improvements, and NPC Stat Block is now default. Read below for more info!
PC Sheet Improvements
We’ve given the PC sheet a glow up so you can find things more quickly, and look good doing it!
- 🔍 Search Bar. Find any action or item quickly.
- ⬇️ Expand / Collapse. Control how much detail shows up, especially in Combat tabs where you want info without clutter.
- 🎲 Improved Roll Templates. Your rolls sent to chat have improved designs. Coming soon, attack + damage combined!
- ✏️ Smarter Icons. Clearer edit buttons, better “send to chat” placement.
- 🧙♀️ Spell List View Default. Spell List View is now the default, with navigation improvements for casters.

Stat Block View is the new NPC Default
Why the Change?
We’ve been talking to customers and watching conversations for a while on this topic. Here’s our biggest takeaways:
- It’s an easier transition. Stat Block mirrors what most GMs are already used to (both from the books and from the 2014 sheet), so upgrading to the 2024 sheet feels more familiar.
- Saves space. GM’s, we’ve heard your complaints about screen real estate! Stat Block view keeps GM screens simpler, especially when managing multiple NPCs.
- It’s what customers overwhelmingly voted for. In every poll we’ve run, Stat Block came out on top as the default choice. We wanted to be 100% certain of this move, so we ran polls across all our outlets:
You Can Still Use Compact View!
Don’t worry, this doesn’t lock you in. You have full control over how your game functions. You can still:
- Change view per sheet. In Manage, you can set each NPC to whichever view you prefer. There’s many GMs that like Compact view for boss encounters where only 1 NPC is in play, as well as for sidekicks for players.
- Set global defaults. If you want every new NPC sheet to open to one view or the other, head to the right-bar settings, Character Sheets, and pick the layout you want for all new NPCs.
This change should make things easier right out of the gate, while still letting you fine-tune how you run your game. Let us know how it feels in your next session! See our complete D&D sheet roadmap here!
