OS Character – Old-School Essentials Character Sheet App

Roll, maintain, and store all your old-school characters on your iPhone or iPad with OS Character.

An offline-first companion that saves everything locally with iCloud sync when you’re ready to mirror your binder across devices. From the first roll to a table-ready sheet takes under two minutes thanks to the guided creation flow that mirrors the SRD, covering ability scores, classes, languages, equipment, and spells.

Highlights

  • Guided creation handles 3d6-in-order ability rolls, prime requisite adjustments, gold, gear, spells, character portrait upload, and naming—each step with dedicated UI so new and veteran players stay on track.
  • An always-accurate live sheet recalculates HP, AC, THAC0 or ascending attack bonus, saves, movement, and derived stats the moment you edit, with tabbed layouts for combat, inventory, spells, retainers, and notes.
  • Make table-side adjustments instantly—enter damage or healing, add XP with auto-calculated prime requisite bonuses, handle coin purses, and settle retainer wages while tracking loyalty, gear, wages, and statuses in context.
  • Manage encumbrance and equipment with categorized weapon/armour, general gear, magic items, and treasure sections, complete with quick equip toggles, consumable tracking, and bundle-aware use buttons.
  • Run your spellbook with automatic slot grids, known-spell caps, prepared/cast tracking, rest resets, and per-level prep flows tailored to each class.
  • Command a multi-character binder with search, swipe actions, and one-tap access to start a new guided flow.
  • Export polished PDFs that respect all optional rules then share directly from the live sheet; edit, resize, or replace character portraits any time.
  • Keep control of your data with on-device storage, optional iCloud sync toggles, manual upload/download controls, and conflict review tools.
  • Customize your table rules with optional AC presentation, encumbrance modes, HP rerolls, individual initiative, sub-par rerolls, and variable weapon damage toggles.
