No, we don't have an auto-build NPC feature. Its something that we've bandied about doing, but haven't implemented yet. If you want to create an NPC, you'll need to create from scratch. Add the levels, add the feats, add the skills, add the equipment and add the prepared spells.Vascant said:If I have understood Paul correctly from a few threads, PCGen has some of the functionality but skills, feats and equipment still all need to be done by hand (I wonder about spell lists as well? I don't know) .
Yep, the code monkeys are always working on the code. There have been speed improvements over the last several alpha releases. 5.10 is faster than 5.8, which was faster than 5.6.Vascant said:PCGen on the other hand is a moving target and seems someone is always working on it and even some reports that in the last few updates recently there have been some speed improvements.
Off the top of my head, I know there's DMGenie, RPGXplorer, Crystal Ball (Mac only) and Red Blade. I'm sure there are other character generators out there.Vascant said:If you are willing to take some time, you may want to look at a third option. There are some other really decent d20 based programs available that allow you to create your own data, then you can put the IP protected data in yourself and have a decent program.
