There are about 5 methods to create PCs/NPCs and monsters, but the "Character wizard" method takes you thoroughly through all the steps to create characters. RolePlayingMaster is into chargen in a very big way. I'm not even sure if Roleplaying Master DOES chargen - it may be that it's just a management tool. I can't say I use it much, I don't like using others softwares for fear of 'tainting' my own creative process. PCGen, on cross platform machines, and if you like Java, I understand to be really thorough and complete in the chargen area. (Remember, the d20 system changes a lot with different books, and who can foresee what a publisher will come up with next?)įor just character creation, we have a player's only edition that costs under 10 dollars. We include editors that we TRY to make as thorough as possible.
If you want support for 3rd party applications, and easy-to-use editors to enter in your own PRCs (or those from splatbooks, when they cannot be found on the net) I recommend CS. Really, what the decision you make should be based on is what you want the product to do. Much like us at Twin Rose, the Codemonkey folks are quite thorough about fixing them when called to attention and getting updates posted with some regularity. It's quite true that small bugs find their way into programs through their lifecycles, and the third edition rules are changing so much through various publications that keeping on top of them can help re-introduce bugs that we didn't want to be there. The documentation in PCGen has been vastly improved over the last couple of months, so between the documentation and the yahoo group, support is pretty well covered.
#Pcgen android code#
There are a lot of knowledgeable users who are glad to help with learning to use PCGen, and many of the code monkeys hang out there looking for bug reports. We have a very active board at where most questions are answered fairly quickly. Version number and race of characters would be useful details to look further into this problem. First level human fighters do (one of them is from the fighter-list of feats, but PCGen lets you cancel out of that and use the feat selection from the total list of feats if you so desire which would result in 3 choices). I'm also not aware of an issue with everyone getting 3 feats at first level. Are you referring to Str, Int, Wis, etc.? From which version to which version did you notice this change? That could lead to a change in your dwarf's attack bonus. I'm not aware of dwarvish stats all going up by 1. Generally when we add something new and it breaks anything old, fixing that is our top priority and it's usually fixed that day.
#Pcgen android software#
Most software is like that, we do our best to test for quality assurance, but due to the scope of the material we provide and the amount of custom material our users have, it's impossible to check everything. The output sheet was changed and resulted in a great many improvements and this one bug. I believe this has already been addressed. In 4.2.6 there is an issue with Arcane Archers getting magical arrow bonuses added to their class ability for enchanted arrows if you load the magical arrows into your bow. Oh - btw - what exactly did PCGen get wrong? I've never known a piece of software to be without bugs, but I like to be given the chance to fix whatever is wrong with any software I write.Ĭode Monkey Publishing, Co-Founder ( Benevolent Dictator of PCGen () It'd be nice if he updated it for use with more material and updated the connection to PCGen.
#Pcgen android generator#
Did he ever include more? I know he was recently talking about getting back into it again, and his generator had a working connection to PCGen. Oh, there's always Jamis Buck's nifty generator, but that was only for the races/classes/etc in the PHB. I've heard of various excel character sheets where you can type in the info and its all updated for you, other than that I'm not aware of any other character generators.
#Pcgen android free#
I'm not sure of the price nor if there's any kind of free 'trial period' of if it's character generator portion is free. RolePlayMaster is also for sale and does more than just character generation. not free) and includes a lot more than just a character generator, though if all you want is a character generator, I think that portion of it is free. TwinRose's CampaignSuite is for sale (i.e. I'm not sure what all splatbooks have been made into files for use with ETools, but I'm sure someone here can post a link to the site where they have been gathering them. ETools Helper makes adding stuff to the database quite easy, and it makes sharing files (like the splat books) possible as well.
A lot of ETools users have found Davin's ETools Helper to be a great, um, help.
