Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions
Yes! ICE5e is completely free for all features. Create unlimited characters, track your stats, manage spells, and more at no cost.
ICE5e includes all content from the SRD 5.2 (Systems Reference Document), which covers the core rules, classes, species, spells, and equipment. This is the official free content from Wizards of the Coast. You can also add your own homebrew content for anything not included.
ICE5e is a web-based application and requires an internet connection to save changes. However, you can view your character sheet offline after it has loaded. Changes made offline will sync when you reconnect.
Open your character sheet and click the "Share" button in the header. You can generate a share link with either view-only or edit access. Send this link to your DM or party members. Check out our Sharing Guide for more details.
