Character Sheets

Unveil the heroes of your TTRPG universe.

Character sheets are where information about your character is stored. Character's stats, backstory and more are a part of the sheet.

At the heart of these sheets lies our powerful Notes editor that allows you to create elements like headings, paragraphs, lists, checkboxes, tables, roll buttons and more.

For example, if you wanted to play Mörk Borg, you can create your sheet based on the character sheet that Mörk Borg created.

Like within Notes, the floating bar Notes editor is the same within a Character Sheet, which allows you to create the following elements in your character sheet:

• Headings level 1, 2, 3

• Paragraphs

• Tables

• Checkboxes

• Lists

• Dividers

• Callout box

• Roll buttons

• Points widgets

• Slots widgets

Additionally, you can format the text by applying bolding, italics and more.

Character Sheets can also make use of Tab Types and Options as well as adding multiple tabs by using the + next to the tabs at the top of the note.

You are also able to create a Character Sheet Templates to create multiple copies of the same sheet, or apply your template to a campaign. If a template is applied to a campaign the Game Master Assistant will strive to comform any characers it creates to this template.

Where to start

You can start creating a character in four places:

1. From the home screen > Click Create A Character.

2. From your Character Vault > Character Tab. Click the New Character button

3. From your Character Vault > Template Tab. Use the three dot menu on the Template card, or go into the Template and click Create a Character

4. From a Campaign > Sheets Tab > Plus Icon or Create a Character.

Create a Character Sheet

In Quest Portal, you create a Character Sheets from templates. When creating a character from the home screen, within the Character Tab of the Character Vault or a Campaign without a Template selected, you will be able to choose from Templates that you have access to. This includes:

• a Custom System Sheet;

• one of our Featured Templates;

• your own Templates;

• or from a Template shared with you.

You can filter the sheets you have access to by system from the drop down menu.

If creating a Character Sheet from the Templates Tab or a Campaign with a set Template, you will create a character sheet using the chosen template.

Once your character has been created, you can edit and modify the character sheet completely, including adding text, or adding and deleting all premade aspects.

Adding a Character to a Campaign

If you create a character sheet from inside a campaign, it will automatically be added to the campaign.

All characters, regardless of where they were created from, will be added to the Character Vault. In the Character Tab, find the the character you want added to a campaign, click the three dot menu and choose Add to Campaign. You will then be able to choose which of the Campaigns you are a part of to add the character to.

Enhanced Call of Cthulhu sheets

Quest Portal has full support for the 7th edition of Call of Cthulhu. This means the characters sheets are styled and laid out to support playing this system. You will notice the main difference being the locked UI and layouts of the first three tabs; but all other tabs work as Standard Tabs.

On the Call of Cthulhu character sheet you can click on abilities, skills and many more to roll our 3D dice. The roll results are then shown in a roll announcement, the chat and the degree of success/failure is shown.

Additionally, the Enhanced Call of Cthulhu Character Sheet can also make use of this function: Export PDF Character Sheets

Character Sheet Statuses

As a GM, you have the ability to set permissions for a character that you are the owner of in your campaign:

You can use the three dots on the card in the campaign lobby, or the three dots in the upper right to toggle the following:

Claimable: This shows the sheet to the players, and allows a player to claim this character as their own. The action creates a duplicate in their character vault, and takes a duplicated copy as their own in the campaign. The action leaves the original still owned by you as claimable (and in your own character vault) for any other player.

Show to players: The default for a GM created character in a campaign is hidden (and thusly unclaimable). This option shows the sheet to the players.

To toggle, click on the dot and it will shift left or right. when the option is green, it is toggled on.

An example of the four statuses of a character sheet in a campaign:

If a sheet is hidden from the players, it will have the Hidden icon on the Avatar image.

In both the Sheets drawer and the campaign lobby, characters are sorted by the following statuses:

Player Characters. GM Characters (both hidden and unhidden), Claimable Characters.

All characters that you own, or have claimed, can be found in your character vault.
