D&D 5E ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that... Only actual D&D data that has been published by WotC in manuals, handbooks, adventures, accessories, supplements, and such will be added to the CS. This is because all of that information is approved by WotC. You will not find any of the Unearthed Arcana in the CS as it isn't official material (yet).

Forged has been kind to us to give us the custom tab which allows us to make custom races, backgrounds, religion/ patron / deity, subclasses, spells and class options for the sorcerer and warlock. Adding a custom class option introduces a whole new array of problems. Just as adding a whole new character class. Because everyone will one their custom character class added as well.

The more complex answer is that you can do it somewhat, especially with a d8 class. Look at a previous post I did where I did a pseudo mystic in this tool.

Were the issues with the other Rogue sub-classes addressed as well?

Should be fixed for any character that takes the MI feat.

Looking for Adventurers (Creators) - ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

This project has been running for quite sometime, and we all agree the tool has evolved significantly from it's early days as the first automated Excel character generator for 5e.

It's time. Time to have other creators work on this for the love of the game and for the fun of it!

I'm calling on other creators with Excel skills to join the adventure to improve and expand the tool and see where it goes...

There are plenty of things to complete, things that I haven't had the time to get done but always planned and ideas that have yet to be thought of.

PM me if you're interested to join in and help. This can be working on new features or just testing and checking things work as they should.

As always, have fun!

Cheers
ForgedAnvil

I just discovered this tool today and I just wanted to say thank you for the hard work you have put into making this such a powerful tool. I'm new to d&d and was looking for character sheets alternatives and my mind was blown at the level of detail I encountered while inputing my first ever d&d character data into it. I know this will help me out a lot as I continue delving into this new hobby.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to show my appreciation.

Thanks,
MrMigrane

I believe there to be quiet a bit of Unearthed Arcana in the excel formula, and that is actually one of the reasons I asked if he would add the class. I believe Matt Mercer to be quiet knowledge and fair when it comes to using the rules of 5e. I know there are tons of homebrew subclasses that are unbalanced, but Mercer's material is well done.

It would be great to see it input into this tool.

That brings up an interesting question. WotC has announced that the Mystic and Artificer will be AL-legal before they are published in a product. Will they be added to this sheet at that point (or will they not be added until they are published)? Right now, this is a theoretical question as they are up on DMsGuild but are not AL-legal yet.

Nope. No Unearthed Arcana data is in this spreadsheet (see the FAQ). Personally, I would never expect any homebrew material to be entered into character generation sheets (excel or otherwise) - some do support personal entry of data (though it is often times confusing to do so).

On a separate note, I disagree that the Blood Hunter is balanced. Do some searching, there are a couple of broken builds that rely on the Blood Hunter.

I am looking at the spreadsheet right now. On the custom page (v 2.10) the war forged race is prefilled. The favoured soul, sorcerer subclass, is prefilled. Along with the deep stalker, ranger subclass. I have only seen the aforementioned material in unwashed arcana. Lastly, I can understand your view on homebrew, and I was unaware of broken builds. I. Personally don't look to min max break the game.

Yes. Those are included as examples. I'm pretty sure you can enter any custom race, background, or sub-class you want but they are not officially supported by ForgedAnvil (again, see the FAQ). However, there is no way to enter a custom base (or prestige) class (revised ranger, Mystic, Artificer, Rune Mage, Blood Hunter, etc).

If you need unofficial base classes or want to use UA stuff without having to enter it, you'll have to use a different character sheet/generator. Personally, I mostly use a different one these days because (except AL) all of the games I play in allow all UA material (and one does allow third-party material with GM review). I still like FA's sheet and keep track of this thread (and use it occasionally for AL characters).

Ok after finally get some free time to try FLawds suggestion. Again this is v2.24, and on a lvl10 druid like he suggested. I see no psuedodragon in either list of pet/familiar/companion or wildshape. The closest i come to said creature is the fairy dragon under the familiar section using the wildshape option. BUT, the fairy dragons have different stats from the psuedodragons. Secondly, if I type it in, then all stats goto NA or ###. I have to preselect something that already exists to make it propagate the spaces other than what i type into the overrides.


This is what I am trying to get in there.
(1) Mountain Psuedodragon, name is "Peck", female, understands Common and Draconic but can't speak.
STR 6 (-2) DEX 15 (+2) CON 13 (+1) INT 10 (+0) WIS 12 (+1) CHA 10 (+0) Challenge 1/4 (50 XP) Armor Class 13 (Natural Armor) Hit Points 7 (2d4 + 2)
Speed 15 ft. (fly 60 ft.) Skills Perception +3, Stealth +4 Senses Blindsight 10 ft., Darkvision 60 ft., Passive Perception 13

Magic Resistance. The pseudodragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Limited Telepathy. The pseudodragon can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any creature within 100 feet of it that can understand a language.

Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.
Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature uses an action to shake it awake.
