Free D&D 5e compendium

Look it up.
Then build it.

6,345 spells, magic items, monsters and rules from 24 openly licensed books — free to read with no account, searchable by name, or ask a plain-English question and get an answer with its sources. When you want a hero, the creator that does the arithmetic is right here too. Free, in your browser.

The Answer Is In A Book Nobody Brought

Every table has the same dead minute: someone needs one line of rules text, and it is three books away.

No Quick Lookup

You find an unfamiliar item mid-fight and have no fast way to read what it actually does. The table waits on you.

Lost Session Time

Minutes evaporate while somebody asks what they hit on, digs out a die, and works out whether the robe was doing anything.

Arithmetic by Hand

Proficiency, racial increases, armour, expertise. A dozen small sums, each one a chance to be quietly wrong for months.

Everything Your Table Needs, In One Place

Open it in any browser. Sign in once, and your heroes and your library follow you to whatever you are playing on.

The Compendium

6,345 entries from 24 openly licensed books, open to everyone. Filter by type, book, level or class, or ask the keeper a question in plain English and get an answer with its sources.

Character Creator

Eight steps to a finished hero. It reads the real rules for every class, background and species, and asks you only the things the book leaves to you.

A Sheet You Can Play

Hit points, temporary hit points, spell slots, hit dice, death saves and a dice tray. Everything that changes at the table changes here, and it saves itself.

Gear That Does Something

Equip a robe and watch your spell save DC move. Every magic item is read from the real tables, so the sheet can tell you why a number changed.

Homebrew

Forge an item, a species, a class or a background of your own. It behaves exactly like a published one, because it is read by exactly the same code.
