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

    Because the character generator doesn't automatically support magical items that require changes beyond listing it on CSII, except the most basic magic weapons and armor, they can be a bit messy to work with. A different ability score? Some changes can be dealt with using Start page overrides...

    See, I am still an excel neophyte, as I did not even know that was an option!

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

    For both classes, here is what I use on the Custom page. The information is exact (minus any typos), not the compressed version that will be in the character generator when 2.28 is finished, and there may be things that can not be handled by the current Custom Page options. Those, if present...

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

    For the Skill, near the bottom of the Skills area on the Start page, enter 1 in the Feat? area. The number of expected Skills will go up by 1. For the Language, find the Training area in the language area and enter a 1 there, and just like with the skills area, your number of language will go...

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

    I will have to take your word for it, as I do not access to a tables worksheet and do not have a new beta to see if it has been fixed yet. All I really know is what you can see in the posted picture: that the formula does not return the desired result. I recall reporting this to FA quite some...

    That text is not hard-coded, but it is an error in in the translation code. If you unprotect the page you can see that the formula appears to be correct, but the contents are in error.

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

    For those who are interested in the Tortle race, it can mostly be added via the custom page. It is considered part of Xanathar's Guide to Everything and is legal to use in the Adventurer's League. The armor and the Unarmed strike (claw) can be handled via with Start page. The Unarmed strike...

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

    When reporting errors, it always helps to say which version of the CS you are working with. That spell appears to be a XGtE addition, so this feedback is probably for a 2.28 beta. Thank you for the feedback, and I can confirm that the "2nd" should be "3rd".

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

    As Dannyboy7702 said, the password will NOT be given out and the password protection will NOT be removed. The passworded areas contain work that ForgedAnvil has every right to keep secret and protected. If you compare the current 2.27 to the old 1.xx versions, you can see that we already have...

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

    Yell at...erm, tell Hasbro (Wizards of the Coast) that. I wish I had an e-mail contact point to share for Hasbro, but it seems that companies don't actually want us to contact them, just read their canned (and often inadequate) FAQ. They need to know that what little they do offer is inadequate...

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

    All these posts regarding how easy this character generator has made it for people are nice, but perhaps it is Hasbro that needs to see them more than we do. Hasbro is the source for the takedown order, so they need to understand the effect that order is having on their customers. IMO they also...

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

    Of course it is about money. A corporation like Hasbro just doesn't understand any other way. I honestly doubt that any of the suits there actually play any of their products. I know that the people at WotC do play their product, but unfortunately they answer to suits that [probably] do not.

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

    Pretty sure somebody can hook you up with the current version, if you want. ;) Probably not me, though. :( 1.53 is ancient...that is before I started using the tool!

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

    It still is. Nothing is stopping FA from making this tool, as making and using it for personal use falls under the fair use clause (or so I assume, not being a lawyer myself). The problem is distributing it, because it contains copyrighted and protected material. To make it fully compliant with...

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

    If you are looking for an excel file of ForgedAnvil's character generator, the rats...er, Hasbro lawyers that is, have struck and the generator is no longer available here. Apparently they can't stand any competition for their lackluster (and expensive!) product. Heres to hoping that FA finds...

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

    Let me start by saying I am no lawyer or even an expert on the subject. This post is merely my own opinion. That being said,... I believe that the creation of ForgedAnvil's Character Generator is not a violation of the US copyright law. He can make the tool and use it all that he wants. I...

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

    I have to believe that there are options available for FA to host his files that are not subject to US law, but what/where they may be I do not know. I do hope that he can find one, though. Although I have stated that the pencil and paper character sheet always works, the usefulness of said...
