List of known d20 character generators?

[afstanton]

Hi -

I'm looking for a listing of known offline (not web-based) character generators.

I already know about PCGen, RPM, Metacreator, e-Tools, DM Genie (and PC Genie), Campaign Suite, and RedBlade, so there's no need to mention them. If you know of others, please post a link to them.

If anyone needs a link to the homepage of those I listed, just ask and I'll post one.

Thanks,

Aaron

There's one I wrote, "Icosahedron", the Visual Basic 6.0 source code of which in theory you should be able to get from my Sims page (also posted here, I think)

http://www.geocities.com/jeremy_reaban/

or...

http://www.geocities.com/jeremy_reaban/icc26src.zip

At the time, I wasn't sure if it was okay to distribute the .exe or not. But now I'm even more confused about WOTC's stance on software. Which is one of the reasons I gave up on it...

If you're really really curious, lmk, and I can put up an .exe

It's not really complete, mostly does level/class, hit points, and skill points. And some feats.

Started work on the equipment section, but I think that's when I gave up. I did release the code as open content, so anyone can fiddle with it if they want.

No need for an executable for my benefit - I have VB6. Other people might want it, so base it off their requests to decide if it's worth your time.

Many thanks!

my favorite character generators are usually excel spreadsheets.

Hero forge

I only have 1 problem with Hero Forge...They do not have alot of races..ie...you can't do a Gold Dwarf, or a Draconic, or half-dragon. I have yet to find a complete one, but Hero Forge is the best I found

Is there a way to edit/add to the Hero Forge?

I too want more Races and to add some class changes(house rules)

There should be a major update to HeroForge soon... Well, 3-6 weeks anyway. As per Shannon Green's Website. http://home.san.rr.com/blackbart/

But you could also, while you are waiting, go into:
Format
Sheet
Unhide...

And open any sheet you like, and change to your heart's content.

Yep, I did just this with the 3.0 version, adding quite a few races and templates. But fair warning: if you don't know anything about programming VBA, you'll have some trouble. Rather than create new, it might be easier to simply modify an existing race - just be sure to replace the old name with the new one in a lot of places, and don't accidentally overwrite any formulas!
