Some friends wanted to start a campaign and I'm trying to digitize my character sheet. Initially I was going to use d&dbeyond so I could send my DM the character sheet digitally and make it easier for them, but I can't pick Drow without paying for the character, for whatever silly reason. I've been checking out all the apps I can find on the play store and I can't find any with Drow.

Are their any apps that give you all the character options? I'm using Android but I don't mind switching over to my laptop (Windows/Linux). I had originally wanted an offline app but opted for online to help the DM, but since that won't be possible anymore I could care less. Still, online apps are fine as I can just block their access to the internet or suffer the occasional ad if I really must.

I've been using the More Purple More Better (MPMB) character sheet in combination with Adobe Reader on my Windows pc. It isn't exactly an application replacing your char sheet, but an interactive PDF file reliant on JavaScript. It has a common recognizable layout, and is filled to the brim with macros and generation tools - you'll be able to whip up a char sheet in no time once you get the hang of it.

Out of the box it only has PHB content, but you can add additional scripts containing every bit of official content for 5e. It isn't very hard to find, either, /r/MPMB for example.

Thanks for this! Our DM might want us to print everything out as some of the players might be distracted by their phones lol. If it works well with Adobe I'm guessing it will be easy to print.
