Accessibility Statement

Last updated: May 1, 2025 · We are committed to making 5e Point Buy Calculator accessible to everyone.

Our Commitment

5e Point Buy Calculator is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards. D&D is for everyone, and we want our tools to be usable by the entire community.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1). WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It has three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA.

Current status: Partially conformant — some content does not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA, as noted below.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard navigation support for all calculator controls

ARIA labels on interactive elements (buttons, inputs, dropdowns)

Color contrast ratios meeting WCAG AA minimums for body text (4.5:1) and large text (3:1)

Dark and light mode toggle to accommodate different visual preferences

Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy (h1-h3)

Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements

Screen reader compatible stat display with text alternatives for numeric values

Mobile-responsive layout usable at up to 400% zoom without horizontal scrolling

No content that flashes more than 3 times per second

Text alternatives provided for all informational images

Known Limitations

The multi-build comparison table may be difficult to navigate with screen readers on small displays due to its tabular layout

Some dropdown menus in the calculator may not announce option changes immediately in all screen reader + browser combinations

The stat roller dice animation does not have an equivalent for users with reduced motion preferences (results are displayed as text)

PDF export functionality may produce documents with limited accessibility features for screen readers

We are actively working to address these limitations in upcoming updates. If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please report it using the contact information below.

Keyboard Navigation

All core calculator functionality is accessible via keyboard:

Tab — Move between interactive elements
Shift+Tab — Move backwards between elements
Enter / Space — Activate buttons
↑ ↓ — Adjust stat values in number inputs

Calculator shortcuts: R to reset, S to open save dialog (when not focused in an input field).
