Jan 29, 2009 17:10:32 I just did a few searches on my iPhone, but I'm not seeing anything D&D specific. There were one or two that claimed to be character builders but they looked so generic that they may not be of any use.

Given that it has taken this long for WotC to put out the full Character Builder through D&Di (but worth the wait), asking for something that does the same job but fits on an iPhone may be asking a bit much. But that's just my opinion.

ADDITONAL: I was able to output a character from the D&Di Character Builder to .pdf, email it to my iPhone and load it there. It isn't editable and I would consider it less functional than a physical sheet, but it works.

Jan 29, 2009 18:21:23 You could always just make a text file with all the fields and information that's on the character sheet. It wouldn't be as pretty, but it'd be just the same.

Either way, what's the value in putting your character sheet on the iPhone? I mean it would be neat to do, but it seems much less functional than pencil and paper. Simply to eliminate the paper? I dunno, I just make so many notes and whatnot on my sheet that I couldn't imagine trying to navigate and type it all on an iPhone. Perhaps that's just me.

It's a no-go for builder apps as far as I know, but here's a site I made for viewing standard Character Builder characters on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

How'd you do that?

I would take a look at this site. You can build the characters first using the DDi character builder then upload them to this site and store them.

This site breaks down the character sheet into sections making it easier to view them on an iphone or (how I use it) view a whole party on a laptop.
