Guides, Tables, and other useful tools for 5E D&D

[old school man]

Thanks are appreciated, but this was a concerted effort. This list simply would not be what it is without the efforts of many people.

Well may the dice gods bless there D20 to come up 20 more often then not........... Unless they are a DM then give them 1's baby!

Spoiler: Amazingly Useful Websites

Show

Ultimate D&D Resource CollectionNot sure who put this together, but it is primarily a collection of adventures and other material from the 5E playtest
This spell sorter/index is a massive compendium of 5e spells, sortable by every statistic. Great for spell casters.
Another Spell Compendium This one lists some more information and can run a more specific search.
Excel Spell Database Downloadable excel file containing spell attributes and concise description of its effects.
5E Premade Characters Site run by twitch, a massive listing of premade character sheets for all classes and levels. Perfect for that late addition to the table who needs a quick start
Sage Advice - A massive compendium of tweets made from developers to players who ask them questions
A Monster Analysis Blog Created by Surfarcher
Monsters by CR - straight from WotC
Encounter Builder Mostly a tool for DMs, this website helps one build challenging encounters for a group of a particular level and size.
D&D 5th Edition Random Encounter Builder Another encounter tool, this one is made for the sake of generating random encounters quickly

"another spell compendium" is dead link for some reason, and "excel spell database" dead due to the absence of WotC forum

Another couple of UE have dropped as well

My 5e Fighter's guide is now complete. Feel free to comment on and critique it to your heart's content.

Edit: I also updated the Bard guise with the new archetypes.

[Corran]

New rogue guide : http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...-A-Rogue-Guide

Please add. Thanks in advance!

[Gwendol]

You should probably link the 5e SRD under WoTC resources as it more or less replaces the Basic Rules.

very good and up to date barbarian guide.

[Oramac]

I made a thread that attempts to cover all the ways you can gain Advantage/Disadvantage here. AFAIK, it's complete. If not let me know and I'll edit it.

Figure you might want to know, if it's something useful to add.

Thanks!!

I tried to eliminate repeats, but I may have missed some. Here are some useful links I use for gaming. Some are not specifically for 5th edition, but still useful.

http://redkatart.com/treasure5e/treasureGen.php - treasure generator
http://donjon.bin.sh (scroll down to 5th edition, several generators)
http://easydamus.com/alignment.html - alignment explanations
http://chaoticshiny.com/index.php - lots of generators
http://www.rangen.co.uk/chars/pergen.php - personality generator

How is this not stickied yet?

[EvilAnagram]

How is this not stickied yet?

It's in the stickied Important Threads thread.

[Taejang]

It's in the stickied Important Threads thread.

Ah. See, I just looked at the stickied threads, not the links in other stickied threads. Ima head over there now and see what other goodies I've missed.

[EvilAnagram]

I only just got around to rating all of the Beast Master's animal companions. If that interests you, take a look. If it doesn't, you won't hurt my feelings.

[SpoCk0nd0pe]

I found a version of Professor Q's Guide to the Controller on archive.org. It seems reasonably recent.

I cannot post the link though due to the forum rules, sorry.

[VegBru]

The Druid guide by RCanine, that was reposted by Mistwell, is no longer in effect.

However, RCanine has re-posted. The new post is not complete, but it includes a link to Google Docs.

The person who put together the Ultimate D&D Resource Collection is someone named James Firth.

[EvilAnagram]

Just finished the Warlock guide in my sig.

John

Yes, thank you very much, blessings and guidance (5th lvl spell and cantrip)

[EvilAnagram]

So, in addition to having finished my Warlock guide, I've updated all of my guides with the new Zendikar material (and the DMG races, too).

[Daishain]

Things should be up to date again, with at least one exception

I found a version of Professor Q's Guide to the Controller on archive.org. It seems reasonably recent.

I cannot post the link though due to the forum rules, sorry.

I took a look, but could not find the resource. If it is still there, could you PM me with the last segment of the URL? It'd be something like (details/Apple_3.5_Disk_Controller_Card_Owners_Guide)

[Socratov]

Might I direct you people's attention to the following sites:


The spellindex for every class and level. Is continually updated through github.
http://ephe.github.io/grimoire/

And a similar attempt at it for creatures, definitely still a WIP.

http://chisaipete.github.io/bestiary/

Both are things I use frequently, both during character building and play.

Well, found another source of some materials that didn't make it over from the playtest. A couple of them have been converted into mechanics and feats in my campaigns, so hopefully others will find this useful as well: https: //sites.google.com/site/ddnextindex/home (remove the space after the colon, this stupid site won't allow me to paste the direct link)

Default Kicking and Screaming: A Guide To Monks is incomplete and hasn't been edited since 9/2014. Besides, the first line is a disclaimer that the writer of the guide never played a monk.

The Cleric Handbook by Dictum Mortum is a dead link.

Someone created a guide called "The Social God":
