Player Minion for 5th Edition

So this app is stuck at large type and 1.5 scale which turns out makes the whole deal useless. And there wasn't a free version I could try first to save me the $2. Hoping it works better on a larger device...if I had a larger device. Strangely, this may be the only app I've ever used with absolutely no user definable settings

It works great on my tablet, only 3 real concerns 1. It almost works on phones the size needs to be tweaked. 2. I don't like how you have to go 1 level at a time and use exp to do it. 3. I wish you could edit things after the character is made.

I was hoping that this would sync with the DM version of this. Also I wasn't able to give my character any feats. Everything else is awesome...oh and maybe a bit of info on the trackables for both apps would be cool too

Basically not usable as it doesn't scale to my Nexus 5 screen correctly.

I noticed that the app won't let me take all my background skills and proficiencies. Like, being able to manually edit things like that would be fantastic. Otherwise it's probably one of the better 5e character builders around.

Like the app. Seems odd this app is only for a tablet and the DM app can work on a phone. The new players I play with would LOVE this app, but dont have tablets. App also is a HUGE memory hog. 500+ megs, then stops working, have to force close often. Cant edit many things after the first opportunity to enter it, and the back button going back to your home screen is annoying as hell.

Good over all. Noticed though that oath of the crown and oathbreaker are missing from paladin class

Pros: Clean and simple interface, Easy on the eyes. Cons: Doesn't have Unearthed Arcana options or class variants from the DMG like the Death Domain cleric, which are what I was looking for when I bought the app. Overall: I had no problems on an Android phone where other users did, so that may be resolved, but the app is a bit narrow. Perhaps a way to add additional options to your own instance of the app as baseline options could allow less limited content without redesigning the whole interface?

Does not give variant options for feat at first level, with only two ability bumps, also this does not add the ability bonuses for race. Nor does it give full skills or details for background. If this is a work in progress please give an eta for completion -otherwise I would want my money back.......don't like paying for poor work or quality.

It needs to format to new phones. My galaxy s6 edge messes the entire app up making it unreadable. If I'm paying for it, it better be fixed and looking good!

Overall I like the app but I think it needs the ability to insert house rule feats and skills as well as the ability to add in magic items

I like the app, but it has some failings; for instance it doesn't show your spell attack bonus or spell save DC. It also doesn't decrease spell slots after you cast a spell; if these were fixed then it would deserve a higher rating.

Really good but we need multiclass

Does not size correctly to Galaxy S6.

Looks like its still working or some kinks but headed in the right direction. I'm hoping for wireless integration with the DM version.

The app has potential, but as it sits its unusable, the font was set to huge in the app and there was no way to change it, with that font size all the text smushed together and were unreadable. Also the app adds bonuses from racial traits before you add stats which makes point buy broken. A handful of small changes could make this the best character creator out there. As it is now it's just worthless

Not worth it for a paid app. You can't edit anything after character creation or after leveling up. It's very inflexible and difficult to use.

U have to pick ability bonuses before trait assignment. That needs to be fixed. So for enterering a pre made character may have better use. Will be doing some more testing w that.

No option for variant human or muiltclass also being able to track spell slot usage would be great help would also like to see tracking of consumables (Arrows , bolts , caltrops ect ) on equipment screen and please update to include elemental evil

It needs more race option...Goliath mostly, and the ability to track spell slots and stuff like arrows. Also if you could connect this to DM minion for encounters via the session connection so each player can take his or her own turn would be awesome

Noticed right away that this character builder is not up to date with released material. Character design is a bit clunky but that's a moot point as i Cant get past the weapon proficiency page on either of my 2 devices. Edit1: can now make characters but can’t change anything on them once they are done IE: change ability score, add skill proficiency ect. Still can’t build my level 1 druid that’s straight out of the book because the builder is missing information and I can’t add it in. I loved the 4e dm minion and the 4e player minion was serviceable. This app is a real disappointment for me. I hope it gets fixed.

I love the app. I haven't played with every class option, but there is one feature I don't understand. Once you save your character, you cannot edit any fields. If you forgot something, or typed in something wrong, you have to delete your character and try again. Please fix! In response to the reply: Any information entered for background, personality, etc. Cannot be changed after entering. You cannot advance your character to see what options you have and try to go back to the previous level. You also cannot train in new proficiencies. Once they are chosen, you cannot add more. Please fix!

Definitely one of best D&D character apps available for 5e (and probably the best guided), but still some work that needs to be done: 1. PLEASE make fields editable after generation, 99% of them are not even when held (specifically on the character tab). 2. Display scaling is incorrect, specifically on skills where bonuses cover skills (and smaller problems on other tabs, on Shield Tablet). 3. A "notes" section would be nice. Otherwise awesome app, just PLEASE make all fields editable

After spending a few hours working with this app, I have to say it's pretty solid. The math is right, the interface is clean and intuitive, and works as a nice complement to your Players Handbook. I did come across a small issue when adding equipment on my G1 Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet I used to test with - the screen would occasionally fade to black after selecting equipment and occasionally did not return. The equipment was saved correctly, but I had to restart the app to proceed. A couple of wish list items for future updates: (I may be just missing them) I don't see a way of viewing currently carried weight on a character. It would also be really nice of the characters could be imported into the DM Minion app and save the DM some typing. If you're a regular player, this is a solid app to invest in. To the develop - keep up the good work!

Very good intentions and a good start but quite broken. It's nice but I can't use it in the current condition. I was trying to use this on a Nexus 9. Missing features: Once you're done you can't really edit the character so if you miss something you have to start again. Can't export to the DM app made by the same developer. Can't advance a character more than one level at a time. This is kind of forgivable because you have to make some choices as you level up. But I think this could be handled without making the user enter XP through each level change. Broken bits: Some features just crash sometimes. Any buttons at the bottom just stop working sometimes and I've had to exit the program and start it again to get it to work. I can't emphasize enough that the app basically just crashes all of the time. When the buttons break it's unusable. The Skills list is all jumbled. The numbers overlap the name.

I love the DM version of this app, but this won't go past the player select screen. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Looks like its still working or some kinks but headed in the right direction. I'm hoping for wireless integration with the DM version.

Currently fighters can only be Eldrich knights. Its aggravating. Please fix this. Thx for the fix its a fantastic best character sheet.

Can't get post character creation screen and icons don't fit on the screen.

I just got into d&d and this has helped me understand character development much more. It does need custom items and XP incrementor but other than that it is awesome!

Have the DM version and love it. Player app gets stuck and crashes at multiple places on multiple devices.

Can't get past Class selection: Scroll to wizard, click next, nothing. Notice bottom still says Selection: Barbarian. Notice list can still be scrolled slowly (1 page every 5 seconds or so), but without animation or correct selection at bottom.

Shows a lot of promise and judging by the DM version, will be without rivals once a few minor edits are in place, such as spell slot tracking, and encumbrance in the items tab.

I wish it was more customizable i.e. duergar races, and editable theme, etc

Was really looking forward to trying this out, but I can't get past the character race selection when making a new character. Wasn't expecting this app to run like absolute hell on my generously specced Note 4.

Memory issues cause character creation to hang on Note Edge. Screen sizes render character creation impossible on Insignia 10 inch flex.

for what ever reason when creating a character it just freezes and wont continue

Nearly unusable for me. Locks up right after race selection.

kinda sucks

Bug on Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Creating High Elf Wizard caused app to crash. Refunded.
