PrismScroll Pathfinder 4+

Great foundation! Hope the details come soon!

So the basics and bones of this app are great. UI is very smooth and intuitive, and it has appealing graphics.

Only problem is it’s currently empty of content, which I get and have seen that they are currently working on it. Once at least the core role book material is uploaded I will be making this review 5*s.

There is one problem that I do hope gets fixed soon other than lack of content. There doesn’t appear to be any “level up” feature that most other apps have. And when I manually changed my level, I couldn’t seem to add next level features I had added to the compendium. In stead it wanted me to just write it in again, and without all the usual fancy menus.

hello! I know that we had talked on discord and hopefully are working together to alleviate some of the content concerns that the app currently faces. I am sure that as time passes that these issues will get resolved :)

The U.I is great, the app has potential

The other prism apps are very good. But this one is a little barren. And no I’m not talking about how you have to download the class or ancestry information from the discord or import it yourself, I can look past that. What I’m talking about is the lack of a proper leveling system making leveling up a very tedious process, traits as a whole do not come with descriptions and are not included in the compendium for editing, and despite the pro version being the same price, this app does not have nearly as many features as the dnd companion app and somehow feels closer to the Call of Cthulhu app (Which is odd, since unlike dnd and pathfinder. Coc doesn’t even technically have combat). I understand that the dnd companion app makes more money, but it would be nice to see some streamlining updates for this app soon.

Tons of Potential

This is my first review, but I’m sending it because I think this will be the future of D&D and Pathfinder character sheets and creation.

This app is VERY bare, but I wouldn’t let that scare you off. I know little about Pathfinder and much more about D&D, however, I decided to input the core ancestries, backgrounds, and classes. I ended up doing almost all of them based of how simple it was to copy and paste the information from online Pathfinder databases.

I think if this app had all of the core elements in the compendium to begin with, this would be the go to for any DM (or GM rather) that is either new to RPGs, or is hosting new-to-RPG players. In my experience, character creation and character sheets have been the most consistent deterrent for new players. I believe that if you take the time as a DM to input some of the compendium information from the core rulebook, this is easily the best and easiest resource for anyone to just start playing and not get confused at a paper character sheet.

Overall, with the developers help with the compendium, this app will be the best one for RPG character creation out there!

Hello Darin and welcome to the PrismScroll community! Thank you so much for the glowing praise, it means a lot to know that we are making something that is helpful to the ttrpg community. As far as content goes, content created in the compendium is shareable so I would beg you, pretty pretty pretty please to visit our discord channel and share any content that you have created so that we can start creating a batch of core content to include with the app on first install. It would be a huge help! Look forward to seeing ya! (There is a discord invite link in the settings of the app)
