Since January 2025, we’ve been hard at work improving the Roll20 Character Sheet and Builder for D&D 2024, focusing on bug fixes and powerful new features. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new, what’s coming, and how it all helps make your gameplay smoother and smarter.
Data Overhaul: Smarter Sheets, More Automation
One of the biggest upgrades to the D&D 2024 sheet and builder is a complete rebuild of how our Compendium data works.
Historically, our legacy sheet limited what data could do. Now, our new structure empowers automation, simplifies gameplay, and gives you more control over character creation.
Let’s dive into some examples!
Optional Class Features (Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything)
You’ll now see Optional Features clearly marked when building your character—opt in or out as you choose. No more confusion or forced features!
Toll the Dead Automation
Casting Toll the Dead? Your sheet will now provides both options for damage dice so you can select one based on your target’s current HP. Less clicks, more immersion.
Perfume of Bewitching (Xanathar’s Guide)
This magic item now adds an effect directly to your sheet when used. Just toggle it on for the bonus and off when the effect ends—it even removes itself if you drop the item!

Builder Filters – Phase 1
By End of May/Early June, we plan to release new filters to help you quickly narrow down options in the Builder
Looking for a half-caster class? Want a background that boosts Strength? Now you can filter Classes, Species, and Backgrounds to find exactly what fits your build.
⚠️ Note: Filters only apply to content that uses the updated data model, but we’re adding more books every month! We will be keeping a help center article up to date so you know what books are supported!

- Toggle between all spells and prepared spells
- Cleaner layout that makes better use of screen space
Full-Screen View Features:

Launch directly into full screen with a click—or use Alt+Click / Option+Click
Your spell management just got a whole lot more magical!
