Tips
- Hold your finger on a skill, a save, an ability or an attack bonus to roll it with advantage or disadvantage.
- Tap the dot in front of a skill to switch between not proficient, proficient and expertise (a gold ring).
- Changing the level under Edit updates the spell slots for a class from the list. “Use the average” sets the hit point maximum for the new level.
- Hold a damage button for a critical hit: Heltebog rolls the damage dice twice.
- Make a backup in Settings now and then. It’s one small file you can keep in Files or iCloud Drive.
Questions
Which games does Heltebog work with?
Fifth-edition fantasy roleplaying games and anything built on the SRD 5.2. The sheet follows those rules: six abilities, proficiency bonus, 18 skills, spell slots and rests.
Do I need an account?
No. There’s nothing to sign up for. Open the app and make a hero.
Does it include the spells and rules text?
No. Heltebog follows the rules but bundles no rulebook text. You add the spells, attacks and features your hero has and write the notes you need, like range and damage.
Can I print my character sheet?
Yes. Share a hero as a PDF from the sheet and print it, or save it to Files. A4, or US Letter in the US and Canada.
How do I move my heroes to a new iPhone?
Make a backup in Settings: one file with every hero and campaign. Open it on the new iPhone with Heltebog. Importing adds heroes and never replaces any.
Can my group share heroes?
Share a hero file from the sheet. Anyone with Heltebog can open it and get their own copy. There’s no live sync between phones.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, all of it. Heltebog never goes online.
Is it a subscription?
No. Heltebog costs $1.99, once. There’s no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads.
