Which Tracker Do I Need?

Which Tracker Do I Need?

Not sure where to begin? You do not need a tracker for everything—or need to build your complete setup straight away.

The Character Forge is designed to grow alongside your character. Start with the tracker that will make the biggest difference at your next game, then add to your setup when you are ready.

Your best place to start

Hit Point Tracker

If you want one tracker that can help almost any character, start here.

The Hit Point Tracker gives you a clear, reusable way to keep track of your character’s changing health during play. It replaces the constant cycle of rubbing out numbers, writing new ones and gradually wearing through your character sheet.

Choose the Hit Point Tracker if:

  • you play a character who does not use spell slots;

  • keeping track of changing hit points slows you down;

  • you want a simple first step into the Character Forge; or

  • you are looking for a useful gift but do not know the recipient’s character class.

Spell Tracker

For spellcasters, the Spell Tracker provides a clear way to see which spell slots are still available.

Instead of repeatedly marking and erasing your character sheet, you can update the tracker as spells are used and recovered. It is suitable for any character who needs to keep track of spell slots, regardless of class.

Choose the Spell Tracker if:

  • your character casts spells using spell slots;

  • you find it difficult to remember which slots have been used;

  • you want to see your remaining spells at a glance; or

  • your paper spell-slot boxes have seen one too many erasers.

Hit Point and Spell Trackers

If your character uses spell slots, the two trackers make a brilliant starting combination.

Together, they cover two of the things most likely to change throughout an adventure: your current hit points and your remaining spell slots. They can be used across different characters and classes, making them a flexible foundation for your setup.

Choose both if:

  • you regularly play spellcasting characters;

  • you want a practical setup covering the essentials;

  • you move between different classes or characters; or

  • you would like to begin building a wider Character Forge collection.

Add a Class Tracker for your class

Once the essentials are covered, a Class Tracker can help you manage the abilities and resources that make your character distinctive.

Different classes have different things to remember: points to spend, abilities with limited uses, changing values and features that return after a rest. A Class Tracker brings those details away from the margins of your character sheet and places them clearly in front of you.

This can help you:

  • see important class resources at a glance;

  • remember abilities that are easy to overlook;

  • update changing values without repeatedly altering your character sheet;

  • spend less time searching through notes; and

  • stay focused on the game and your character’s next move.

Your Class Tracker works alongside the Hit Point Tracker, Spell Tracker or both. You can choose only the pieces your character actually needs—there is no requirement to collect the whole range.

If you would prefer all three trackers together, explore the Character Forge Bundle — Choose Your Class.

Build your setup as your character grows

A new game can already involve books, dice, miniatures and plenty of other tempting equipment. The Character Forge is intended to offer a more accessible way to begin.

You can start with a single tracker, see how it fits into your games and add another when it becomes useful. If your character develops new abilities—or you begin a new adventure with a different class—your setup can develop with you.

There is no single “correct” collection. The right setup is simply the one that makes your game easier to manage.

Bring everything together in a Reliquary

As your collection grows, a Reliquary gives your trackers a dedicated place at the table and keeps your setup together between games.

It is the finishing piece rather than the starting requirement: a home for the Character Forge collection you have built around the way you play.

Begin with the tracker you need today. Add to it when the time is right. When your collection is ready, the Reliquary brings everything together for the adventures ahead.
