It's been a busy month. Behind the scenes we shipped over 300 improvements, but three of them change how you'll use ICE5e every single session: your notes are now rich text, you can cast spells right from your spell list, and you can export your entire logbook. Let's walk through them.
Write in Rich Text — Everywhere
Until now, every text field in ICE5e was plain text. Your journal entries, session notes, encounter descriptions, NPC backstories — all just a wall of unformatted characters. That changes today.
We've rolled out a full rich text editor across the entire app, complete with a formatting toolbar. Bold your key plot points. Add headings to organize a long lore wiki page. Drop in bullet lists for an NPC's known quirks. It works like every editor you've ever used — and it saves as clean markdown under the hood.
Where you'll find it:- The Logbook — journal entries, session notes, and downtime activities
- DM tools — encounter descriptions, tactics, and notes; NPC appearance and notes; loot; relationships; and the wiki
- Support tickets — both when you write a request and when staff reply
Cast Right From Your Spell List
Here's the old way to cast a spell: open the spell's details, find the right slot level, switch over to roll attack and damage, track whether you broke concentration. Five clicks deep before the fireball leaves your hands.
Now every spell row on your sheet has a Cast button. Click it and a single popover gives you everything:
- Your available spell slots — pick which level to cast at, including pact slots
- Your spell save DC — right there, no mental math
- Attack and damage rolls — roll both inline, with the dice already configured for that spell
- Upcast scaling — bump the cast level and the damage expression updates live
- Advantage / disadvantage toggles for your attack roll
We also fixed spell rows on mobile. They now wrap to two clean lines so the spell name isn't crushed off the edge of your screen, and the cast and roll controls float as popovers instead of shoving the whole list around. Casting from your phone mid-session is finally pleasant.
Take Your Logbook With You
Your campaign history is one of the most valuable things in ICE5e — months of journals, session recaps, lore wiki pages, NPCs, and downtime projects. Until now, it lived entirely inside the app.
Not anymore. There's a new Export button in the Logbook header. Click it and ICE5e builds a complete ZIP archive of your logbook and downloads it:
- Journal entries — every entry, with dates, moods, and tags
- Session notes — full text and their attachments
- Knowledge — your wiki pages and NPCs
- Downtime activities — projects, progress, and outcomes
Your campaign is yours. Now you can hold onto it however you like.
And There's More
Those are the headlines, but a lot more shipped this month:
- Feat-granted spells — fighting styles and feats that grant spells (like Druidic Warrior and Blessed Warrior) now prompt you to pick your spells, and remove them cleanly if you ever drop the feat.
- Class tool proficiencies — classes that grant tool choices (Rogue, Bard, Monk, Druid, and the 2024 Artificer) now resolve them properly, with a tool picker right in the builder.
- Great Weapon Master — the feat's bonus damage now applies in your combat rolls, the attack modal, and your exported PDF.
- Multiclass into homebrew classes — your custom classes are now fully multiclassable, and homebrew casters contribute to your combined spell slots.
- A massive 2014/2024 accuracy pass — full PHB-2014 class features for every class, dozens of edition-split subclasses, ruleset-aware Channel Divinity, Metamagic, Monk Focus points, and Barbarian rages, plus 41 new SRD magic-item variants. If you play 2014 rules, your sheet is now sharper than ever.
