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

[Conandar]

Thanks for the great work on this. Is there a way to enter homebrew Feats on the custom page?

No, nor is there any plans to add them, as they encompass too large a variety of options. You will need to use notes for custom feats, just like with a pencil and paper character sheet. Alternatively, depending on the scope and nature of the custom feat in question, you can use the currently available overrides as well as notes.

The following is not directed at any one person, so if your feelings are hurt that is on you.

There are no plans to implement completely custom classes. Ever. No, really. Please, stop asking. The same is true for custom feats. These things will not happen. Even if that other character generator supports them. You are free to use the generator that supports them if you want, it won't hurt ForgedAnvil's feelings, not even just a little.

 

[ForgedAnvil]

You are correct.

Forged,

I have verified this bug.

Thanks, fixed in next beta version

Too all who have been asking about Xanathar's material being implemented in the CS. Here is what Forged said when he released a Beta version of 2.28.

This is an interim release for those who would like to start testing some of the Xanathar's content

Currently the new Cleric, Fighter and Warlock Hexblade subclasses have been implemented, the Barbarian Storm Herald is wip and some feats have been implemented but also wip. Appreciate those who are keen to help out to review these and let me know of any issues or missing content - there are some areas like the Active Features that need review as well. Detailed feedback is appreciated.

Please be patient, the updated version of the CS will be introduced. There are those of use in the community who find bugs and report them. When the bug is verified, Forge will notify when the fix has been made. However, Forged works on the CS in his off time. He does have a life outside of the community.

Regarding the Forged Anvil Character Generator Adventurers Log page. The upper right corner has a graph. However, the starting time on the graph is 22-Sept-12. My character was not started until 8-Sept-17. This leaves most of the graph a flat line. How does one adjust the starting date on the graph?

Thank you for your time and attention to my question.

Possible Bug / Known limitation?

Making a very fringe type character, and it looks like you can't have more than 3 classes. Additional classes appear to only add hit points and spell slots (if you add caster classes). Made a bard 1 -> warlock (GOO) 3 (Tome) -> cleric (arcana) 1. This is fine. Added sorcerer 1, no way to select what type of sorcerer, no cantrips or additional spells on the spell tab; hit points and spell slots on summary page increased. Added 2 levels of wizard, again no way to select subclass, no cantrips or additional spells; hit points and spell slots added to summary.

I know it is a fringe case, just wanted to report it. If it is acting as intended, I don't think it is mentioned in the FAQ.

Forgot to add, this is in 2.27.

In the log area the very 1st dark blue highlighted box on the left hand side is a date entry. Just type in the date you want.

This CS only supports up too 3 classes when multiclassing. It doesn't matter what version it is. Selecting more than 3 classes in the CS causes problems. This situation has been addressed in the past. Changes will not be made to allow multiclassing with more than 3 classes.

 

[Erik Ker]

Indeed, this character generator is only equipped to make 3 different classes in a character. I was making a Bard1/Cleric1/Wizard2/Warlock1/Druid1/Sorcerer14 character, and... this program will not accommodate so many classes. It is only set up for three. But, given what must be paid, it is Wonderful! Anyone who complains about not having a fourth or fifth class is... ungrateful.

 

[Erik Ker]

Indeed, that very first dark blue box, associated with line one for the log, is where I have my first date. But it does not affect where the graph starts its date.
8-Sep-17 Starting Gold
8-Sep-17 1 DDAL 07-01 City on the Edge, Lord's Alliance quest
The Graph still starts at 22-Sep-12.
What am I missing?
