DDB - Character Sheet Overhaul

Upgrade your D&D Beyond sheet with End Turn, action checks, condition tracking, notes, health FX, themes, MAP, and Hands tracker.

Adds a smarter, louder D&D Beyond character sheet. You get an End Turn button, live turn tracker, custom conditions with timers, instant notes editing, custom themes and backdrops, a MAP tab, Hands tracking, health glow + blood hit FX, and more — all right on the sheet. WHAT IT DOES End Turn button (header) Sits next to Short Rest. One click ends your turn and broadcasts a turn-end event. Turn / Concentration bar (left column) Action / Bonus / Movement / Free / Reaction / Concentration. Saves per character. Lights up so you can see what you’ve spent. If you take damage while concentrating, it pops a CON save DC. Can auto-mark Concentration when you cast. Condition timers (every status, including custom) Every active condition in the left “Conditions” summary shows (∞) or (3), (2), (1), (0). You can + / – the rounds right in the Conditions pane. End Turn automatically ticks them down, but never deletes them. When a timer hits 0, the chip and name strike out so you don’t forget it expired. Custom Conditions (multiple) Add as many of your own named conditions as you want. Rename inline. Add a description. Toggle each one on/off like a normal DDB condition. They show up in the left summary list with their own chips. They also get full duration tracking like built-ins. Haste & Contagions helpers Haste shows with a custom chip, “speed ×2” hint, and survives pane remounts. Contagions (Cackle Fever / Sewer Plague / Sight Rot) also surface as chips and get timers. Hands Tracker overlay Quick view of what you’re actually holding in each hand / two-handing / stowing. Built to help GMs ask “are you really dual-wielding AND holding a lantern?” MAP tab Adds a new “MAP” tab in the Actions/Spells/etc. row. Drop an image, place draggable markers (party, enemies, notes). Fully inside your sheet — no leaving the page. Inline Notes editing Click straight into Notes and type like a normal text field. Real caret, no weird overlay. Syncs the big Notes area. Inventory star highlight Starred items pop so your “this is important” gear is actually visible in a crowded inventory. Theming / Backdrop control Palette panel lets you recolor the sheet: • Primary (accent glow) • Frame/Outline • Surface • Background You can pick Rainbow / Chrome / Custom accent and pick a backdrop image. Only the active tab uses an animated neon border. Everything else stays readable, not flooded. Health glow + blood hit FX Your HP panel glows based on % health. When you take damage, the sheet shakes and throws a cinematic slash / blood spray across the screen. HOW TO USE Open any D&D Beyond character sheet. Use the Turn bar while you play (Action / Bonus / etc). Click End Turn in the header when you’re done. Open Conditions and toggle anything (including your Custom rows). Set round timers with + / –. If you’re concentrating on a spell and you get hit, follow the CON save pop-up. Click the 🎨 palette button in the bottom-right to change colors, accent, and backdrop. Use MAP to drop a quick battle map and drag markers without leaving the sheet. Use the Hands overlay to stay honest about what you’re holding. PER-CHARACTER STATE Turn bar state, Concentration, and custom conditions are stored per character. Timers persist across refresh / navigation (including SPA reloads). Theme, accent, and backdrop are stored and reload automatically. PERMISSIONS & PRIVACY Site access: only dndbeyond.com. It injects UI into your character sheet and reads sheet stats needed for features (HP, conditions, etc). Storage: uses browser storage/localStorage to save your sheet settings and timers. No analytics, no tracking, nothing leaves your browser. Scope: only runs on character sheet pages. It re-wires itself cleanly during DDB’s single-page navigation so you don’t have to refresh.
