Torchbearer Character Sheet

This project is a work-in-progress! It's partly me trying to solve a problem I have, and partly me messing around with React. My style is still evolving rapidly, so forgive any messiness you might encounter.

App Structure

Roll Page

The roll page needs to make a lot of calculations about what the roll will look like, what options are enabled, what are the odds of success, etc. I have called this derived state (that may change later, maybe derived props would be a better term). The functions to make this work live in the derivers/roll folder.
