CharacterCheck is an experimental, read-only compiler for selected D&D Beyond character-sheet fields. It turns a public share, saved character-service JSON, or versioned snapshot into deterministic mechanical context with provenance and named findings.

Current release: 0.7.0. Pin charactercheck==0.7.0 when installation

must be reproducible. Verify the installed package version and each field's

trust state; a version string alone is not proof that a value is supported.

It is not a complete or rules-authoritative character validator. Its output is not encounter, world, or session state and does not prove that an action is legal. Unknown upstream fields and unsupported restrictions can affect results; read the trust and finding data before using a value.

Run 0.7.0 offline

Python 3.9 or newer is required. The runtime has no third-party dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/chaoz23/charactercheck
cd charactercheck
python3 -m charactercheck selftest
python3 -m charactercheck derive examples/sample-character.json --brief

The bundled example is project-authored synthetic data. The smoke test checks this checkout and selected derivations; it is not evidence of complete D&D rules correctness.

Install the published package into a virtual environment for the console entry points:

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install charactercheck==0.7.0
.venv/bin/charactercheck derive examples/sample-character.json --brief

The direct python3 -m charactercheck path from a clone has no runtime dependency install. An editable pip install may bootstrap the setuptools build frontend if the environment does not already provide it. See MIGRATING.md before comparing 0.7.0 output or MCP surfaces with 0.6.x.

For an explicitly public character:

python3 -m charactercheck derive https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/<id>

Public sharing permits retrieval at that moment; it does not establish consent for publication, recurring tests, persistence, model training, or reuse of persona and third-party narrative content.

CharacterCheck requests no credentials. For a private sheet, use an authorized saved character-service JSON file through the local CLI or library; do not pass cookies, tokens, or session data.

Product and authority boundary

CharacterCheck currently supports mechanical, read-only preparation for a human or AI-controlled DM, PC, or NPC. It observes a character source and emits context or reconciliation candidates. It exposes no mutation tools and does not become the authority for HP, conditions, concentration, expended resources, equipment declarations, DM rulings, encounter state, or world state.

The human principal remains responsible for access and use. An AI actor must not infer permission, role, or visibility from sheet contents or a tool argument. Where a value is marked confirm, unsupported, unknown, or invalid, the agent should ask the named human authority or decline to use the value. Manual play without CharacterCheck remains the fallback.

Ecosystem and calculation boundary

CharacterCheck is being developed as a versioned D&D Beyond-to-agent compiler and conformance facade, not a new complete 5e rules engine. The strict source/snapshot/privacy/trust layer remains local. Adapter vocabulary is seeded from a pinned offline DDB config registry that was independently observed and cross-checked against the MIT-licensed DDB Importer fallback. The production runtime never fetches that config endpoint. The distributed registry is a purpose-limited allowlist for current evaluator branches—not a copy of DDB's full configuration or third-party catalog vocabulary.
