You can choose multiple options from a select search filter.

For example, the Spell List filter for spell School has the available selection options: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, Transmutation, or Evocation. When selecting one of the multi-select fields, you will have every option that's available for that listed attribute. With the exception of the Name field and the monster Speed field (which are simple text fields), the rest of these hard-coded search filters are either drop down multi-select fields or Yes/No radio buttons. The Spells List of the 5E Compendium has search filters for spell Name, Level, Class, School, Ritual, Concentration, Casting Time, Range, Spell Attack, Damage Type, and Save. The Monsters List of the 5E Compendium has search filters for monster Name, Alignment, Speed, Type, Size, Challenge Rating, and Language. These journal entries can then be shared among players on an as-needed basis if they themselves do not have access to the expansion content. Even without sharing, a GM can create handout and character journal entries of Compendium content by dragging entries to the Tabletop to generate them. It's important to note that access to these expansions' content shared in games is limited, and game owners must choose to share their purchased compendium content on a per game basis. Once bought, all content under that expansion becomes immediately available to you. To access this content, all you need to do is purchase the expansion of your choice. A purchase of one or more expansions grants access to entries that are not included in the original SRD (' Player's Handbook,' Volo's Guide to Monsters and Tome of Beasts are examples of purchasable Compendium Expansions). If something is missing, contact the volunteers of that Compendium via the Character Sheets & Compendium forum.Īvailable on the Roll20 Marketplace are various Compendium Expansions. If something is missing from a Compendium, you should first check to see if that entry is actually part of the OGL SRD. That is because they were purposely not included in the SRD (System Reference Document) when the publisher designed it. For instance, the D&D 5th Edition OGL SRD does NOT have entries on Displacer Beasts or Mind Flayers, nor do they cover any other feats beyond Grappler. While it is possible that a Compendium could be missing content, especially in the case of newly built Compendiums, it's important to note that an OGL version of a rule system may not cover the entirety of the published rule system it's based from. 'Why isn't there an entry for (Spell, Rule, Monster, Etc.) in here?' The search looks for keywords used in the page title and header tags of an entry.

No matter which page of a Compendium you're on, there is a search bar directly above that allows you to look up for more entries at any time. For instance, in the D&D 5th Edition SRD Compendium, the Spells category has subpages for each Class and each one of these pages is a list of spells which have their own dedicated page. Underneath these categories are subpages and in some instances those subpages may be broken down into even further subpages. Depending on the game ruleset in question, the available categories may be different, but what you will likely see are ones such as: Rules, Races, Classes, Items, Equipment, Spells, and Monsters. Once you've selected a Compendium to browse, you'll first have a search bar available followed with an index of categories. 2.1 'Why isn't there an entry for (Spell, Rule, Monster, Etc.) in here?'Īs of, Roll20 have compendiums for 18 different game systems, accessible from /compendium.
