Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Character Generator

Just trying this one out, it's fantastic! I did run in to a problem I can't undo a Half-Elf Adaptability Bonus Traits under Feats. Looking to switch it from Perception to Stealth. Any ideas.

I used to use PCGen. It was great in 3.0 and good in 3.5 but too cumbersome in Pathfinder so I bit the bullet and bought HeroLab. Yes, it is pricey for a DM, but it is a great tool and they have regular patch fixes. I never was one for paid Character generators in the past but this one has changed my mind.

Fixed it.

Great program, btw.

Can you compare it to pcgen? What advantages will it have over it for instance.

The largest advantage is the level of support that you can install packages for it. Yes, each set costs money but it takes time to develop them also. That and I just find it a lot less cumbersome.

That will teach me to be more carefull in my replies. I was actually asking in regards to this:

I know this is an old thread, but I'm actually working on a free web-based character creator for Pathfinder: Venture Captain. It's still in beta technically, but it currently supports all the core class features, racial traits, feats, skills, magic weapons & armor.

But it was at the end of the first page and I missed the fact that we were currently on the 3rd.
I have Hero Labs. My wife likes it a lot better than Pcgen. I tend to prefer pcgen however. Free including all the data and the ease of adding custom stuff give it an edge to me.

Any of the post 6.0 versions of PcGen handle Pathfinder pretty well. I thought it was a bit easier to use HeroLab right of the bat and it looks prettier. Having to buy all the supplements as well as the program can get pricey though. The supplements come out faster though.

Well, unfortunately for Venture Captain (but fortunately for me), my career exploded and I found myself with a lot less time. So a comparison of what could have been may not be all that important. The site is still up, but I haven't had much time to develop it further...

If you want an NPC generator rather than a PC generator you can use my one http://www.dinglesgames.com/tools/NPCGenerator/pathfinder/ You can advance monster, add templates add class levels to monsters (up to level 5 is free). It will create default stats, skills and feats for you but you can change any of these to fine tune the NPC/Monsters.

That's a pretty nice app.
