Create a D&D Party Reference Sheet

A party reference sheet captures your entire adventuring group in a single, cohesive illustration — showing height differences, design relationships, and the visual chemistry of your party composition. It is one of the most popular commissions in the TTRPG community, and AI can help you generate or plan one with consistent style across all characters.

Step-by-step
  1. 01

    Establish the lineup format

    Choose your layout: side-by-side lineup (most common), circular arrangement, action group pose, or tavern scene. The lineup format best shows height comparison and individual design.

  2. 02

    Generate each character individually first

    Create a polished front view of each party member in identical style settings and identical lighting. Process them all in the same session for maximum style consistency.

  3. 03

    Define the height scale

    D&D races have specific heights: halflings ~3ft, dwarves ~4ft, humans ~5.5ft, goliaths ~7ft+. Generate a height reference bar and scale each character accordingly.

  4. 04

    Compose the group reference

    Generate the party together in a single image, using the individual references as guidance. Check that the art style, lighting direction, and rendering quality match across all characters.

  5. 05

    Add party identity elements

    Include the party name/banner, shared faction symbols, matching equipment elements (rings, cloaks, pins), or a group emblem that unifies them as a team.

Pro tips
  • Generate all party members in the same AI session with identical style prompts for maximum visual cohesion
  • Height relationships are the most important visual element in a party sheet — get these right before polishing anything else
  • Include a small NPC or pet (familiar, mount, animal companion) to add life and world context to the group shot
  • Consider generating "in-character" relationship poses: who stands next to whom, who keeps distance, who towers protectively

Frequently asked questions

How do I fit a full D&D party on one reference sheet?
Generate each PC individually at matched scale and resolution. Composite them into a single party sheet in your layout tool (Photoshop, GIMP, Canva). Arrange by party role — tank in front centre, caster and healer flanking, rogue and ranger at the edges. Each character keeps their individual reference set for session use.

Can I generate non-human D&D species consistently?
Yes. EZ Character's fantasy pipeline handles dragonborn, tiefling, elf, dwarf, half-orc, gnome, halfling, tabaxi, warforged, and the full SRD species range. Each species gets its own anatomical reference lock — the dragonborn's snout and scales stay consistent across angles, the tiefling's horns stay identically shaped.

What style should I use for D&D reference sheets?
High fantasy painterly for epic campaigns, dark fantasy for Curse of Strahd/gothic settings, cartoon for casual tables, realistic for immersive roleplay. Match the art style to the campaign tone. A Curse of Strahd campaign with cartoon art undermines the horror atmosphere — and vice versa.

Can I print the party reference sheet for in-person sessions?
Yes. Generate at 300 DPI at your target print size. Standard table reference: A3 (11.7×16.5") or US Tabloid (11×17") at 300 DPI. Print at a copy shop or on a home printer. Laminate for durability — it'll survive spilled Mountain Dew.
