### Character sheet (A4)
The Summary page and the sheet tabs in the lobbies show the character as **A4 pages**: page 1 has name, attributes, derived stats and all skills (proficiency dots, attribute, points, total), page 2 has talents, mutations and implants, equipment, background and a ruled notes area. On the Summary page, **Print / PDF (A4)** opens just the pages in a clean window; choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog (margins none, background graphics on if your browser asks). Hover or tap a value to see how it is made up (not printed). **Light / Dark** (in the lobby it sits in the tab bar) switches the colours of the sheet on screen (remembered in the browser; printed pages are always light). The Word and PDF downloads on the Summary page are separate exports with their own layout.

### Lobbies
The **Lobbies** tab groups a campaign. Whoever creates a lobby is its DM and gets an 8-character join code. Players join with the code and pick one of their saved characters (they can switch it later or leave).
The lobby page is built for desktop: the main area on the left, the chat as a column at the right edge of the window and a dice hotbar at the bottom centre of the main area.
The lobby page is built for desktop with three columns: the **character sheet** on the left (collapsible with the arrow), the **Player Area** in the middle and the **chat** at the right edge of the window.
- **Chat** (right column): live chat for everyone, plus **whispers** to a single person (pick them in the dropdown next to the message field). Whispers are only visible to sender and recipient, the DM does not see other people's whispers. The same feed shows the **event log** (joins, leaves, character switches, renames, new codes); it can be hidden with a checkbox. The chat polls the server every few seconds, keeps the last 1000 entries per lobby and allows 500 characters per message and 30 messages per minute.
- **Dice** (bottom centre): d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100, with a count (1 to 10 dice). A click rolls on the server (so nobody can cheat), the dice tumble into a tray above the hotbar for everybody in the lobby and the result is posted in the chat. Rolls follow the chat's recipient dropdown: with a person selected it is a private roll only that person (and you) can see. **The DM's rolls are hidden from the players** (the hotbar says "Hidden (only you)"); the DM can still pick a player as recipient to show them a roll.
- **Party** (tab): member cards (name, concept, class, profession). The DM also finds the join code, rename, remove player and delete lobby here.
- **One sheet tab per character** (next to Party): the DM gets a tab for every character in the lobby (read-only, always the current saved version, refreshed every 15 s); a player gets "My character". Hover or tap a value to see how it is made up. "Open in the Character tab" jumps to the full editor (for the DM it is a read-only look, "Save" would create the DM's own copy).
- **Chat** (right): live chat for everyone, plus **whispers** to a single person (dropdown next to the message field). Whispers are only visible to sender and recipient, the DM does not see other people's whispers. The same feed shows the **event log** (joins, leaves, character switches, renames, new codes, can be hidden), dice rolls and skill checks. Names are shown in the player's colour. The chat polls every few seconds, keeps the last 1000 entries per lobby and allows 500 characters per message and 30 messages/rolls per minute.
- **Character bar** (top of the Player Area): one card per player with the character, class and the player's colour. The DM clicks a card to show that character's sheet on the left (always the current saved version, refreshed every 15 s) and can enter a personal **bonus / malus** per character in the small number field. Players see their own sheet only and just a short card of the others. (The bar is also meant for initiative and enemies later.)
- **Skill and attribute checks**: players click an attribute or an unlocked skill on their own sheet. The server rolls a d100 (roll under): target = attribute or skill total + the DM's difficulty + the character's personal modifier. 01-05 is always a critical success, 96-100 always a critical failure. The chat and the table show the roll, the target and by how much it succeeded or failed. Combat is not handled specially: roll the normal skill and let the DM adjust with the modifiers.
- **Difficulty** (bar under the characters): the DM picks a level from the rules table (Trivial +60 ... Hellish -60) or a custom number. It applies to all checks until changed. With **Hide numbers from players** the players only see their roll and success / failure, not the target, difficulty or margin.
- **Dice** (below the table): d4 ... d100 with a count (1 to 10 dice). The server rolls, the dice tumble into the middle of the table in the colour of whoever threw them, and the result goes into the chat. With a person selected as recipient in the chat dropdown it is a private roll. **DM rolls** have three modes: *Mystery* (default: players see grey dice with "?" but not the result), *Hidden* (only the DM sees it) and *Public*.
- **Own dice**: with this switch on, a click on a die or a skill asks for the result of your real dice instead of rolling. The server only checks the range and marks the roll as "own dice" in the chat.
- **Colours**: every player has a different colour (lobby menu -> Your colour); the DM is gold.
- **Lobby menu** (top right): join code, rename, remove players, colour, switch character, leave or delete the lobby.
Players only see a short card of the other players, never their sheets. Guessing join codes is rate limited. Deleting a character takes it out of the lobbies (the player can pick another); deleting a lobby does not delete characters.
