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

    Scan the last page or two of messages to find the way to get the current version. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of new work being done on this generator these days. I personally stopped using it when I found a better solution for my needs.

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

    Magic Item column is currently down to 1115. Excel is the supported spreadsheet program, anything else is unsupported. I know the MSO programs can get kind of pricey, which is why I am still using the 2010 version, which I got dirt cheap while attending classes at my community college. edit...

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

    I wish there were still work being done on this generator, but I have seen no signs of activity for months now. The latest beta has a few glaring bugs present, including a bug in the Custom page that renders it unusable for custom subclasses (the features area starts at level 0 instead of 1-3).

    I just visited the Aurora web site and it worked just fine, so your problem may have been a temporary outage. As far as I know, WotC / Hasbro has no legal reason to attempt to shut down Aurora.

    AFAIK, there is not a way to designate a weapon as an off-hand weapon in the current generator, so using the damage override is your best bet. Could it be added to the generator? Sure it could, almost anything is possible with code...but it could get very messy, too.

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

    Be careful, or the WotC C&D attack hammer will find a new target to beat into submission! That being said, somebody may well have added the new material you desire already (not me, I am not skilled enough with Excel to do that). The artificer is especially tricky, as it is an entirely new class...

    @Hazimil Glad to help where I can, and I hope you are enjoying playing in 5th Edition...I know I am!

    Disease isn't a resistance or reduction item, but I just use the resistance override and enter "disease (IM)". This will show up on Character Sheet I. There are times that the original author does the same for immunities, albiet with a bit fancier font scaling.

    v2.28 BETA 8 bug Elven Accuracy is properly limited to the Elf and Half-elf races, but the SCAG versions of half elves such as the Half-Drow Elf are not included.

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

    The generator does not directly support any magic items, so although you can add them via Sheet 2, there are additional steps to take for most items. The author actively avoided the use of macros when creating this generator (for compatibility reasons), so any of the more complex magic items...

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

    Just to expand on what Phoffman said, this generator only includes official released content. That means no Unearthed Arcana and no Beta material. Ebberon material is scheduled to be official in November, I think, so maybe sometime after that.

    That cell allows for adding more Skills that your character has to be added beyond the normal maximum. Using the term "feat" may be misleading. There is a Feat cell in the Tools area for the same reason, and probably the languages area too (don't have the generator open at the moment to double...

    There are probably ways to break/remove the password protection on START and SPELLCASTING pages, but I don't know how to do that, and I do not have the passwords. Somebody mentioned how to make the TABLES page visible, but you will have to search these forums for that, and it is really just a...

    Look back a few pages and you should see where a link to the latest stable (v2.27, pre-XGE) is available. If you desire the latest (v2.28 BETA 8, buggy) beta, that may also be available, still. If you want the beta, send me an e-mail @ conandar[at]new[dot]rr[dot]com and I will see what I can do...

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

    Thanks for the tip, but I don't use a mobile device (except my flip-phone). With only my left hand to use (and I was born right handed) mobile devices are less than desired user friendly. May well be useful for others, though. In my game tonight I did see two tablet devices being used, but have...

    From what I can see, the Hero Labs program has a user-installed program (Windows), which is what I have, and also a web-interface version that they claim to be even better. I am avoiding web-based programs because of the lack of internet access where I play D&D. I have found a number of typoes...

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

    I still use this generator regularly, but have started to play around with the Hero Labs program (bought the 5th edition SRD pack ($35), and added the community pack (free)). There is definitely a learning curve, especially if you are trying to add custom material, but there is a lot of material...
