Every time a player uses the Abacus or records a build in the Census build comparison tool, that data feeds into a growing, validated dataset — revealing what players are actually building, levelling, and comparing across the D&D game. The Census is aggregated daily. Views on our spells library generate spell heatmaps, detailing where plays minds are in terms of play styles.
This is not guesswork, this is founded in what real players are playing.
Find out how popular your builds is in the current meta, how unique it is compared to other players, similar builds that outperform or diverge, and recommendations to make it more aligned with the current meta… or more original of a build.
Save builds to your watchlist and track how their popularity shifts over time.
Add custom labels like character names to follow long-term arcs.
This is not a calculator. It’s analysis at its best.
Get detailed content for every character including descriptions on personalities, backstory, guides for role-playing and guides for DMs on how to have little moments in their campaign that tie into a character. For spells get access to the somatic gestures guide and verbal components including audio pronunciation playback. Get access to story moments, descriptions of locations, and homebrew items perfect to integrate into any campaign.
Not simply content, it’s a treasure-trove of flavour for your next campaign.
