SchreckNet Lite

Unofficial Vampire: The Masquerade V20/V5 interactive character sheet.
Fan-made project built with Vite, Tailwind CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.

Note

V20 Sheet is...fully complete! Fully functional sheet, complete with the freebie mode!

I am currently working on styling the V5 sheet, though I don't know when I'll finish it. I'll still work on the V20 sheet, if I am struck by sudden inspiration and determination.

📌 About the project

The goal is to recreate a simple, interactive character sheet for Vampire: The Masquerade, starting with V20 and later adding V5 support.
It is heavily inspired by the SchreckNet character sheet site and by existing fan projects, especially VTMsite by DrSharky. ❤️

✨ Features (V20 Sheet)

The V20 sheet now fully implements the character creation process from the core rulebook:

• Interactive Dot System: Click to assign points to Attributes, Abilities, Disciplines, Backgrounds, and Virtues.
• Rule-Aware Point Allocation:
  • Separate, managed point pools for each character creation stage.
  • Point counters that update in real-time.
  • Prevents spending more points than are available.
• Dynamic & Intelligent Dropdowns:
  • Clan selection automatically populates in-clan Disciplines.
  • Dynamically add or remove rows for Disciplines, Backgrounds, Merits, and Flaws.
  • Prevents duplicate selections for a valid character sheet.
• Complete Freebie Point System:
  • Enter a final, dedicated "Freebie Mode" to spend your initial 15 points.
  • Strict enforcement of Freebie Point costs for all traits.
  • Gain up to 7 additional points by selecting Flaws, with Merit options dynamically updating based on available points.
• Derived Stat Calculation: Humanity/Path and Willpower are automatically calculated and updated based on Virtue scores.
• Export Your Sheet: When finished, save your character sheet as a formatted .txt file or a print-ready PDF.
