Fight Club 5th Edition

Fightclub is a great source of dnd information, building characters, customizing monsters, all for free! (One exception but I’ll get to that in a bit) you need to download files of info onto the app, which can easily be found online. You can make one character that is stored on Fightclub for free, or pay only 2.99$ to be able to make as many characters of you want! It’s a one time purchase too. I’ve been using it for awhile now, and I’ve encountered no glitches, or bugs, and I haven’t noticed any other issues either. The app is also very easy to use! After downloading it, it took me about 20 seconds to figure out how to use it. For making characters, that took me a bit to figure out, not that I didn’t understand how it worked, but the way it is constructed was new and a bit intimidating, but after I made one, I wanted to make more. When it comes to making characters, the app is very freeform about it, so it’s up to the creator to stay within the rules, but that also means that nothing is left out. Honestly, I think that fightclub is better than say, DNDBEYOND. This is just my personal opinion, and DNDBEYOND definitely had more features like maps and campaigns, but fightclub is cheaper and costs nothing to make one character with all of the options, if you have the file. I say try both and see what works for you!

Fight club 5E is a useful tool for D&D players as it’s essentially your character sheet but on your phone. It works perfectly and has little to no issues, but the issues that are present is large. FC5 does not update the app with new subclasses, weapons, magic items, etc from new supplements. You only have the base tools from the PHB. Everything else you must go out of your way to seek out, and with new UA and supplements that introduce spells and the such it means you must add the spells on your own, copy and pasting it. As for subclasses, I have not found a way to go on and add them so let’s say I like the Revived Rouge, I have to make a whole new class that applies for that character only and as I level up and get features I have to add them, but they won’t be present for other classes. If your like me and willing to put in the work then this is not a significant problem, but I know in my group people won’t use it because of such problems (and they are too hardheaded to accept change) another problem which is present is that for certain class features not working one such thing is the Monks Unarmed Damage the being changed from 1 to a die the app will not recognize this, And won’t recognize the monks unarmed strike as a finesse, which leads to a lot of hassle if you do not know all of the the numbers by heart. Other then those small issues the app is fantastic and something I would recommend to everyone who plays D&D 5E

I just started using it, so I am not quite familiar with the controls or layout yet. It’s not super user friendly, but it seems like it has just about every option I’ve looked for so far. The base version has enough to learn the app, but not enough to build a character outside of the few spells/attributes that come included, which are very few. I had some small troubles, like figuring out how to level up my character for example, and some things are clunky, like it doesn’t seem to add the human +1 or your racial bonuses automatically - maybe it’s just I haven’t figured that out yet, but at our table session last week my friend commented as much. Either way, I want this to sound positive because I really like the app, it is definitely worth buying the full version, especially because it has the ability to add custom and home brew content, also which I have not done yet. Get it! It’s all you need once you load up the chunk of content you get from google searching “fight club 5 compendium”. 5/5 would rate again.
