    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    Bug report, v2.28 BETA 6 RC Some or all of these may have been fixed already in a new build, and I am certain that some (or all have been reported already), but these are things that I have been noticing. * Warlock's Invocation Devil's Sight: says 150ft when it should be 120ft * Hexblade's...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    That class is not WOTC official so no, it will not be added to this generator. Furthermore, it is a new class so it's can't be added via the custom page (though you may be able to get close if you try.) Just because the class is made by a well-known person like Mercer and is on D&DB does not...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Battle On: The Fighter Guide

    In your guide you seem to be of the opinion that the feat Crossbow Expert is only for crossbow users. Errata has made it clear that, while it is true that the 1st and 3rd features of that feat require a crossbow, the second feature is applicable to any ranged attack, whether it is made with a...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    There is not a special place for ritual spells gained with the Book of Ancient Secrets eldritch invocation (that I am aware of). Instead, you can find a unused area of the Spellcaster page and use that. Since most games I have played in never reach high enough levels to cast 9th level spells...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I can confirm this with v2.28 BETA 6 RC. When reporting bugs/typos, it is always good to state what version of the generator you are using with the error.

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    v2.28 BETA 6 RC I created a Lightfoot Halfling Warlock (Hexblade) and there were a couple of issues that sprang out at me. 1. Though a Hexblade is profient with Medium Armor, a Shield and Martial Weapons, and though selecting Medium Armor (Chain Shirt and Half Plate were tested) and a Shield...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I print (when I use a printed sheet at all) to a Brother laser printer (B&W), no scaling, 0.5 for the margins, 600 dpi, and the sheets work just fine. However, not all printers are created equal, and I have had issues with Canon inkjet printers that I used many years ago (long before this...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I concur with AnotherCrappyDM. The cantrips, Light and Sacred Flame, are given in addition to the warlocks normal selection and do not count against the normal limit. The spells (as opposed to cantrips) are just expanded choices and the warlock does not get additional known spells, just more...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    The Agonizing Blast invocation doesn't make any sense for a warlock to have unless they already knows the Eldritch Blast cantrip, so having that cantrip is a requirement before the invocation becomes available.

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I get that the XE version has features that are desireable, especially the custom feat option. However, I am personally loathe to use what I see as a hacked version, and until I see concrete evidence that the author and owner of this generator has blessed the XE version, I will not use it. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    Yes, v2.27 is the most current released version. v2.28 BETA5 (or maybe it's 6 now) is the current beta build, which will add XGE and MTF materials. This is all being done by volunteers, so there is no concrete timeline.

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    If you mean "Did WOTC bless this generator", the answer is no. ENWorld is still subject to the C&D order. Given ForgedAnvil's (the generator's author) subsequent silence, I am guessing he received a similar C&D, but that is only a guess. Talking about the generator is still fair game, and it has...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    Regarding this character generator and magic items: If you receive a non-numeric modifying item, you will at least need to record it on CSII (Inventory). An item like a Potion of Healing comes to mind for this category. If you receive a numeric modifying item, there are often multiple steps...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    While I have programmed in the past (mostly various flavors of Basic, C and Java), I am a neophyte with Excel, so whatever solutions or information I provide are likely to be pretty basic (and possibly incomplete).

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    The generator doesn't really do that for you. If you got some new +1 armor or a +1 weapon, for example, it will need to be added to the Start page as a base item and then change the bonus to the appropriate place, and also added to your inventory sheet (for weight cauculations). Other items will...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    An Ioun Stone (any of them) requires attunement and it must be set circling your head for it to be active. They are vulnerable to AoE attacks (fireball, dragon breath weapons, etc.), but are hard to hit with a weapon because of their size and speed. If you meant how do you account for its bonus...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    It is important to differentiate between being able to use dexterity for a weapon and the weapon being finesse, because the finesse property is required for melee weapons used for sneak attack. While this is not an issue for a single class kensei monk, if they multi-class as a rogue it does...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    "cleath" instead of "death" seems like a standard error that OCR programs can make with certain fonts. The human eye can see the space, but its not so easy for an algorythm. You're probably right that leaving text off is a result of trying to save space, but it also helps to enforce the need to...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I went with option 1, but I would be just as happy with option 2. Even option 3 wouldn't be bad, depending on how it is implemented. I would vote a solid NO for option 4, though. That being said, I do not think the DMG options (Death cleric, Eladrin race) were ever really intended for playable...

    D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    True, but not for custom feats or custom classes (as opposed to sub-classes), which are the items being asked about. A custom sub-class still relies on the framework of a standard class. The pencil and paper character sheet works fine for those options. Well, for most people, that is. I use FAs...
