Magehand

Overview

Magehand makes DMing easy: it lets a Dungeon Master run their whole adventure from one page. Hover any monster, spell or item in the text for its full stat block or rules, pin the ones the fight needs beside the text, and start any encounter with one click. It's free, made by one DM for their own table, with no ads and no third-party tracking. The combat tracker knows the rules, not just the numbers. Magehand encodes the

rules for every class feature, spell, condition and magic item, so the tracker plays them out: it rolls attacks against the right Armor Class and adds up damage with resistances, applies conditions and what they do (a hit on a Paralyzed creature within 5 feet is a Critical Hit), tracks concentration, spell slots, reactions and limited uses, and keeps hit points from one fight to the next. The DM runs the story; Magehand does the bookkeeping. DMs customize the adventure for their party right in the text: rewrite a scene, add notes, fights and comments, and read remixes inside the book itself, with their design notes where they apply. Between sessions, Magehand speeds up prep with fair fights by the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, homebrew monsters, a 2024 character builder (with

Key features

Fair fights

Pick the party and the monsters and see the difficulty by the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide, then run it.

Your own monsters

Copy a creature or start from scratch, and watch the stat block take shape as you type. In a fight, roll its attacks with one click.

Handouts

Share each handout with nobody yet, some players, or all of them. Players open a private link, no account needed.

Bring your own AI assistant, or use the API

I know, I know. Magehand doesn’t run an AI. But if you already use one, like Claude, you can connect it (or your own scripts, through the API) to take bookkeeping off your plate: checking on the party, tracking loot, drafting a handout. You choose what it may change. And if you’d rather not touch it with a ten-foot pole, I completely get it; everything else works without it.

A rotina diária na Academia Hidra está prestes a ser interrompida por um evento importante: a chegada dos inspetores imperiais. Entre aulas, treinamentos e os preparativos para receber a comitiva, os cadetes têm a oportunidade de mostrar tudo o que aprenderam e dar mais um passo em direção ao futuro que o Império preparou para eles. É melhor que estejam preparados, pois inspetores imperiais nunca se atrasam. Filhos de Miséria é a nossa campanha de RPG Daggerheart, inteiramente editada e sonorizada, que se passa em um cenário próprio, onde crianças nascidas em uma ilha prisão são levadas ao continente para servir ao Império que domina a região.
