Go to the ABIL tab and in T1 to T6 just enter the standard array. It will automatically choose the top two and randomize the final four from there. jh

I just set up the character sheet page so that if a wizard is rolled, there will be a spellbook with random spells that will appear at the bottom. [edit: added random arcane focus as well and automatic items) jh

To steal the code, you just copy/paste what you want and how I did it :_) Copy/paste to a WORD program works great for copying a character to a sheet. Set your text color to BLACK. If you wanted to set it to a particular character class: Go to the "MATH" tab. Set b6 to the class number you...

Here is the preliminary version (Go to the SPELLS tab): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/167876/D%26D%20Stuff/D%26D%205e%20Random%20Character%20Generator%202.2.xlsx [edit: FIXED.......(my wife is cleaning..so you know what that means...)] jh

Here's how you do the random spell listings: I'll write it up for you. You need to randomly order the spells, and then select the first 6 (see how I did the ability scores). Otherwise you end up with duplicates if you just randomly roll on the table multiple times. The best current example...

Removed for profanity. Please do not use profanity here. Especially don't change the spelling to circumvent the profanity filter.

Done. http://community.wizards.com/content/blog/4124231#comment-51095341 If you need any help, let me know. I'm customizing a home-brew copy to the LANKHMAR setting, so I'll be changing the names, adding/subtracting some races, etc. for that version (depending on what/if I need anything for...

What? We're still in the dungeon and there aren't endless, murder-mystery, gothy relationship adventures!?!?!??!! What the heck is this game anyways? /ragequit

FINALLY, upgraded to 2.0. Randomized equipment, weapons Randomized personalities (from basic) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/167876/D%26D%20Stuff/D%26D%205e%20Random%20Character%20Generator%202.0.xlsx jh

Well, here it is: The 5e Random Character Generator. Version 5.0 is complete with SPELLS for all classes. THIS IS FOR PLAYER OR NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS. Let me know what you think! MOST RECENT VERSION IS IN THE LATEST POSTS! jh

I like roll20. Its free. I just stick up a photo of something (google a picture of a street, for example) and dump pog pictures (sometimes) to show what's there.

Seems about as easy as 0D&D/BD&D, back when I first started in 1981. GMs seem to fall into 2 camps: --[I say GMs because I GM other games with the same issues as D&D] * Those that like math-heavy, "perfectly balanced" encounters...

I've been using simple RANK, VLOOKUP, and RANDBETWEEN (1,whatever) for the majority. I've only done cursory work on encounter design (using WFRP3's monster difficulty rating), and didn't have a lot of luck yet. It's essentially identical to D&D's except that there are no fractions. Here is the...

This might be a good one for a passive check. I don't use it much because in most cases, once the action is on, there isn't time to worry about sage advice. There are times though where you have somethign annoying: immune to your weapons types of checks are things that are good to know...

..and make sure you are on the "CharSheet" tab (on the bottom). :) jh

Good work. A randomizer function would be really handy for creating groups of monsters. Example: 1 orc, and 3 goblins..appropriate for 'x' encounter. If you want to use any of my excel coding from my projects, here are three of them...

I already did that. That was easy. Now the 65 combo selection with randomization will be an option as well. I choose the top 2 for the class and then randomize the final 4 abilities in either case :) Here's the link btw on what's been done so far...

It's set up on MS Excel 2007. Should work for all versions later. F9 is the typical reset button on these things but you can always change an empty cell and hit enter and that will recalculate and randomize as well. :) jh

That doesn't sound right for permutations for a point buy between 8, 15 with limited combos due to point buy limitations. [EDIT: FOUND YOUR MATH FILE :) THANKS!] More thoughts?
