Dragon's Fate User Manual
Your guide to mastering the dice roller.
Welcome to Dragon's Fate, your companion for tabletop role-playing games! This tool is designed to take the hassle out of managing complex calculations and keeping track of multiple characters.
Appearance Controls: In the footer of The Tavern, you can use the text size selector to dynamically scale the entire interface (Small, Default, Large, Extra Large). This setting is saved locally and applies across the entire application for optimal accessibility.
The main screen is The Tavern, the place to gather your characters before an adventure.
- Add a Character: Click the "Add New Character" card. A dialog will appear where you can enter your character's name, race, class, and current level.
- Select a Character: Simply click on any character's card to open their dedicated dice roller screen.
- Reorder Characters: Click and hold on a character card, then drag it to your desired position in the list.
Once you select a character, you'll be taken to the Dice Roller.
- Visual Feedback: To make high-stakes moments stand out, the entire result card will turn green for a Critical Hit (Natural 20) and red for a Critical Fail (Natural 1).
- Quick Dice: At the top of the roller, find a set of buttons (d4, d6, etc.) for immediate single rolls.
- Advantage/Disadvantage: Toggle switches below the roll inputs to automatically roll two d20s and take the higher (Advantage) or lower (Disadvantage) result.
- Roll History: All your rolls are saved in the "Roll History" section. It now tracks up to 300 entries and dynamically adjusts its height based on your screen size, providing a comprehensive log of your adventure.
Global Modifiers are persistent bonuses (or penalties) that apply to every relevant roll you make for a character until they are removed.
- Instant Recognition: Active modifiers are indicated by colored dots. To see exactly which bonuses were applied to a specific hit, these dots appear directly in the header of each roll result card.
- Persistence: The app saves your modifiers per character, so your Barbarian's Rage or Paladin's Aura remains active even if you switch characters or refresh the page.
Presets are your best friend for frequently used actions.
- Dynamic Reordering: You can drag and drop preset buttons directly on the main screen to reorder them exactly how you like.
- Spells: When you "learn" a spell in the Spellbook tab, it automatically creates a preset in your Dice Roller for quick access during combat.
When you make multiple damage rolls at the same time, the app calculates a "Grand Total".
If an attack fails to hit your target, simply uncheck the box next to the corresponding attack roll. The "Grand Total" will instantly update to reflect only the checked attack rolls.
To protect your privacy, all information—including characters, presets, and history—is stored locally in your web browser. No data is ever sent to a server.
Exporting/Importing: Use the buttons below to create backups of your data. This is useful for moving your characters between different computers or browsers.
