About Arcana-Check.net

What is this place?

Arcana Check is a little website designed to make it easy to dig through Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition open content.

This site is designed to only show the freely available content in the D&D System Reference Document version 5.1. If you own core or expansion D&D 5th Edition books there may be spells, magic items, or other content in those books that have not been made freely available for everyone to use, so they are not included here. See the License section below for details.

This site is built using the Flask and Frozen Flask to dynamically generate each page, and then freeze each of those pages into a single static site.

What makes this the fastest reference site?

First off, no ads.

Second, Arcana Check keeps loading time to a minimum by delivering all the info you need on as few pages as possible.

I found that a lot of D&D reference sites use an index page. You scroll through a massive list of spell names, searching for the specific spell you need. Then, once you've found it you click the link to open a new page with the spell details. Once that new page and all the ads load, you can finally read the spell description. Then you have to hit the back button, wait for the index page (and ads) to load again, and start scrolling through the list from scratch to find the next spell you're looking for.

With Arcana Check, the spells and descriptions are all delivered at the same time. One single page load for all the spells. Each page has a reactive table of contents over on the left that makes it easy to get to the spell you're looking for. Or, better yet, use your browser's built-in search function (CTRL-F to open the search bar) and jump directly to what you need.

What if I see a problem?

Typos

Please open an issue on the github repository.

I've tried to keep content accurate to the published System Reference Document (SRD) 5.1. Some content from the SRD 5.1 has typos. For example, the spell Animal Friendship seems to be missing a few words in the "At Higher Levels..." description, and I've kept those typos here. If you see a typo that is not in the SRD 5.1, let's get it fixed.

Missing Spells Or Content

This site only includes content from the System Reference Document 5.1. If the spell, magic item, or other content is not in that document it should not be on this site.

If you see something in the system reference document that is not here, please open an issue on the github repository.

Content that should not be included

If you see something here that is not included in the System Reference Document 5.1, please open an issue on the github repository.

If we include stuff that isn't freely available or under an open license, the site could get taken down. That's no fun.
