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

    It might help if you would include screenshots of the Start and CSI pages. My guess, though, is that you didn't fill out something on the Start page, but I can't be more help without more details. What version of the generator are you using? v2.27 is the latest stable version, and v2.28 BETA 8...

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

    v2.27 is the latest stable version. v2.28b8 contains the XGtE materials, but is definitely still in beta and will probably stay that way since the WotC/D&DB attack dogs have been let loose. Too bad there is nothing for GGR, and from what I can see there is material there that would require some...

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

    If they are, they are being very quiet. Apparently WotC is very good at scareing any potential developers away (they have deep pockets and lawyers). Which, to be honest, is part of the reason I haven't taken a stab at it. If I did take a stab at it, I would probably write it in Java. But any...

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

    That would be my guess, as well. They are fine with the standard pencil and paper method, of course, or D&DB (they get a piece of the pie), and can really do nothing if players make something like ForgedAnvil's generator as long as they restrict it to personal use only, but as soon as it starts...

    Each text may be limited to 255, but multiple texts can be strung together "text 1" & "text 2" & "text 3", and thereby bypassing the 255 limit. At least, that is what FA told me before he went M.I.A., and that solved a problem I was having.

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

    I don't actually know that ForgedAnvil got a C&D order, but EN World most certainly did, and it seems a fair guess that FA did as well, with his sudden disappearance following WotC's C&D to EN World which pertained to the generator. I am fairly certain that FA has been on this site since, but if...

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

    That would be cool, but I would not hold my breath at this point. The original creator went M.I.A. after receiving a WotC C&D order, and the team that took over has not been heard from for some time (we are still waiting for a non-beta version with the Xanathar material). WotC wants you to use...

    Dakota, if you wish me to take a look at the character, you may send a copy of it to conandar[at]new[dot]rr[dot]com and I will see if I can find the problem.

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

    This generator does not support Unearthed Arcana material, period. The Artificer is a new Unearthed Arcana class, so it is not supported. If you can make the UA material work with the provided tools, have at it, but a new class will be tricky at best, and completely unworkable at worst. As...

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

    I am just a user, same as yourself, and am under no compulsion to provide help. In fact, even the people who are/were developing this tool are not oblitagated to help, either. I am trying to help, but what issues that I have seen so far are, as far as I know, minor and should not cause problems...

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

    You have a blank cantrip choice. No idea if that would cause problems. You are using the Tortle race, which in version 2.27 means you are using the Custom page. If not there already, make sure you are using the first (left-most) column of custom race, as the 2nd and 3rd may be bugged. It might...

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

    Error's like that are typically either a bug in the generator (though version 2.27 is quite stable and bug-free in my experience) or the result of data entry errors. Of the two, I would bet on data entry as the cause of the error. Probably something wasn't filled in on the Start page. Without a...

    Switching sub-classes of a class can be tricky, as the selections you made for the first sub-class may become greyed out, but not reset. Even if the selection is greyed out, the generatot see it as a valid selection and it will affect other things. If you are switching sub-classes, it is best to...

    Agonizing Blast has a prerequisite of knowing the Eldritch Blast cantrip before it can be selected (or even seen), so if your character doesn't know EB the generator doesn't offer AB as an option.

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

    Unearthed Arcana material is playtest material and is subject to change, sometimes a little and sometimes a whole lot, so the designers of this generator have decided that none of that material will be included with this tool. That being said, you can generally add new subclasses yourself on the...

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

    Just to clarify things (I hope!), there are two different kinds of "extra" spells, but a class never has both kinds. If the class has these "extra" spells, they are either Domain spells (always prepared) or Expanded spells (additional choices). In both cases, the spells may not be something that...
