D&D 5e Obsidian Vault

A comprehensive D&D 5e reference vault for Obsidian, containing spells, classes, lineages, magic items, and more.

Sources

Content covering the 5e rules was merged from two public sources:

• SRD converted to markdown
• DND5e wiki

Requirements

• Fantasy Statblock Plugin

Content

• Content is mostly separated by source into two subdirectories
• File names are unique, making wiki links easy
• Extensive tagging is applied to spells, magic items, feats, lineages, and classes. This allows overview tables to be created dynamically using Obsidian bases. If you add additional content, check existing bases queries to understand the tagging structure so that your content is included in all the dynamic tables.
• The SRD monster pages are actually just references to fantasy statblock data. I still created pages for them because I wanted to attach tags and i like browsing the stat blocks. You can either link to the page or just use the stat block in your notes.

What's Included

• Spells
• Classes
• Lineages
• Equipment
• Magic Items

Installation

Method 1: Download as Standalone Vault (Archive)

1. On GitHub, click Code → Download ZIP
2. Extract to a folder (e.g., ~/Documents/DnD-Vault)
3. Open Obsidian
4. Click "Open another vault" → "Open folder as vault"
5. Select the extracted folder

Method 2: Clone with Git

git clone https://github.com/wresch/dnd_vault.git
cd dnd_vault
# Open this folder as a vault in Obsidian

This makes it easy to contribute back updates, additions, and corrections.

Method 3: Merge into Existing Vault

Use either method 1 or 2 above to obtain the contents and copy them into a subdirectory in your own vault. This makes adding wiki links from your campaigns or notes into the content easier.

Important: Delete the .obsidian folder from the copied subdirectory as it will be ignored by Obsidian (only the root .obsidian folder is used).

Note: This may cause some issues if there are files with the same names in your existing vault.

Theme

This vault includes a simple custom theme called "Player's Handbook". If you use it as a separate vault, the theme should be automatically activated. If not, select it in Settings → Appearance. It's designed as a light theme.

If you merge this content into your own vault, the theme will be ignored unless you copy it from the .obsidian folder in this repository to your own top-level .obsidian folder.
