BardRoll: Your Roll Writes the Song

BardRoll: Your Roll Writes the Song

A second app from the people behind Owlect, for anyone who plays a bard: pick a spell and an instrument, roll, and get a performance written to match all three.

A Second App, and You May Already Have an Account

BardRoll lives at bardroll.owlect.app and does one job: it makes a bard's turn feel like a performance instead of a number.

  • One sign-in covers bothOwlect and BardRoll share an account, so a session started on one works on the other. Nothing to create, nothing to remember.
  • Free, with no tiersno card, no plan to choose, and nothing held back behind one.
  • Made for the phone in your handit is built to be used at the table, mid-game, on the device you already have out.
  • The Roll Decides the Song

    At most tables a bard casts, rolls, and reads the modifier out loud. The mechanics work, but nothing is ever performed. The one class defined by making music is the one whose music never actually happens.

  • Pick a spell and an instrumentthe two choices that shape what comes back, made in a couple of taps.
  • Roll in the app, or bring your own numberthrow the d20 on screen, or type in whatever the table just gave you if you rolled a real die.
  • A register, not a scorethe roll does not grade the result, it picks a tone. A high roll writes something the party will quote for the rest of the campaign; a low one writes something strange in a language nobody knows, and that is just as good a turn.
  • Straight, advantage or disadvantageall three are there, and karmic dice stay off until you turn them on.
  • A Sheet That Knows the Rules

    Under the performance sits a full bard sheet that tracks what a session actually spends.

  • Cast from the hand you preparedtap a spell to cast it at its own level, or hold it to fan out every slot that could pay for it and cast higher.
  • The whole spell, in placerange, casting time, duration, components and the full text, without leaving the list.
  • It knows what you may carrya level 7 bard could legally cast 83 spells and carries eleven of them plus three cantrips. Drop a level and the extras come off.
  • Slots and inspiration, trackednine levels of slots spent and recovered in a tap, and the inspiration dice you hand out are tracked by name and by how long ago.
  • Every instrument on the listthe SRD's full set, and each one changes the sound. Hear one before you commit to it.
  • Keep every bard you playswitch between them in a tap, with slots, hit points and inspiration exactly where you left them.
  • Two Ways to Play

  • With your Google accountyour bards follow you between devices and survive a cleared cache.
  • On this device aloneno account at all. It downloads once, works with no signal, and everything stays in that one browser, which also means it goes when the browser's data does.
  • Neither is the lesser versionand you can move from the second to the first later without losing a bard.
  • Make It Yours

  • Parchment or taverntwo looks, and it remembers which one you chose.
  • In your own languagethe same three languages Owlect speaks.
  • A die of your owneach one moves differently. It tumbles, it thuds, or it scatters.
  • The screen stays awakeit will not dim on you halfway through a session.
  • Roll your first bard

    Free, with the account you already have. Nothing to create and nothing to remember.
