Is there any way to access DnD Beyond or a similar tool? I've been using sheets for a long time for other RPG's and I wanna see if there's a way I can lower my work load.

If you are looking for a free alternative to Dnd Beyond then I recommend Dungeon Masters Vault: https://www.dungeonmastersvault.com/

They don't have an integration with Roll20 like you can get with DNDB but it works excellently for most other use-cases - if you're looking to use non SRD content you'll need to download the relevant expansion files from this spreadsheet and import them:

For me, getting my rolls to Discord is the most important part. It seems that neither Dungeon Master's Vault nor dddice have this functionality. I bought most of the D&D Beyond content on sale, but the other players haven't, and in order to unlock their subclasses they always have to transfer their characters to me temporarily, so that gets kind of annoying. Do you know any such tools that sync rolls to Discord?

I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with DnD tools, but there are a couple users on Soulseek who are sharing a variety of DnD tools. It looks like they all came from the same torrent (I don't have the torrent, sorry :< ).

Does anything here look useful? - https://i.ibb.co/Y30rv2y/resources.png

Not really what you are looking for but you should check out 5e tools.

if your looking for digital ways a somwhat descent way to start is by finding a digital coppy of a dnd sheet, i suggest just goolging some, and open up a sketching app and write your character and then save a copy and possibly print it. thats kind a complex way of doing things but its a start that probrably legal and free.

anyways enjoy your dnd stuff i wish i had people to play with but i dont and i dont like online too much, if you know a way to find a group please let me know.
