D&D 3E/3.5 Best 3.5e Character Generator?.

[YawningWizard]

Which is the best 3.5 edition "Character Generator", for Windows, that you can download for free?. I have the Redblade program, but it's old, and could use some updating.

I like the character generator available here, is there a place to download the program?.

I was working on one a while ago. It's a one button automated character/NPC builder and generator. You push button, you get character.

It's an old VB app. Would there be interest in bringing something like this on-line? An OGL version?
It's a lot of work to say the least!

There is a group of people still working on the Hero Forge project. You can download it here.

I don't have Microsoft Excel, I was looking for a program just like Redblade, but improved. I don't want a program where it does everything for me, I want to be able to input my rolled Ability Scores (that were rolled using real d6's), I want to be able to select skills, feats, equipment and spells. The program should give me the overall weight of my purchased items, and the total cost of them.

I've downloaded "PCGen" and am going to try it out, when "HeroLab" goes on sale, I'm gonna snatch it up!.

PCGen is a pretty sweet program, you have to add the deities by working with code due to copyright. I've done searches and didn't turn up anything regarding this...has anybody added all of the D&D 3.5e core deities already?, and have they uploaded the modified file to download, so that no work needs to be done?.

Google "PCGen 35e datasets" should be the 1st or 2nd link.

Okay, I've created a "players_handbook" folder under the "wizards_of_the_coast" directory, and placed the modified ph_deities.lst inside, see below...
"C:\Games\Dungeons and Dragons\pcgen\data\35e\wizards_of_the_coast\players_handbook"

It doesn't load the changes when I launch the program, because I still can't select a deity. So do I need to rename ph_deities.lst to rsrd_deities.lst, and overwrite the file within "C:\Games\Dungeons and Dragons\pcgen\data\35e\wizards_of_the_coast\rsrd\" instead?.

Okay I've got it working now, is there any other files besides the deities.lst that needs to be used in conjunction with it, or am I good?.
