DDB - Character Sheet Overhaul — GhostElder

DDB – Character Sheet Overhaul expands D&D Beyond into a stronger tool for both players and GMs, adding cleaner sheet controls, better table flow, deeper customization, and built-in campaign management.

For players, it improves the character sheet with combat helpers, condition tools, concentration support, hands tracking, inline notes, inventory highlights, Wild Shape support, spell visuals, health effects, custom themes, character art, VTT access, and party messaging.

For GMs, it adds a full GM Mode with advanced notes, NPCs, factions, maps, calendars, shops, sublocations, tables, logistics, travel tools, economy systems, and encounter support.

The extension is built to keep more of your game inside D&D Beyond, with fewer outside tabs, fewer scattered notes, and more useful tools directly where the table is already playing.

DDB – Character Sheet Overhaul runs on D&D Beyond and stores its data in your browser.

It does not use analytics, does not track you, and does not send your sheet or campaign data anywhere. Your settings, notes, maps, timers, and GM data stay local.
