D&D General The overly-detailed NPC generator for D&D 3.5

Hi all!
I made an NPC generator (for Version 3.5).

I wanted to create something that would make NPCs that could be used right away without having to add anything.

I did it for my own game, but my players have suggested that others might like to use it.

Its features:
• 14 races
• 17 classes
• 3 templates (Vampire, lich and skeleton) that can be applied
• Re-roll 1s option on stat rolls
• Optional buffs for higher level NPCs
• Everything needed to run a character straight away – stats, skills, equipment, feats, spells.
• Animal companions and familiars


It’s not got any fancy graphics, its designed so you can cut and paste into a text editor.

I don’t want to break the rules by posting a link, but if you search for:

You’ll find it. I like the other NPC generators out there, but I wanted something a bit more full on 😊

Here is a sample output:

This is Hyellia the Vile, the Elf Ranger.
Hyellia is an Elf. She is dressed in fine studded leather armour. She has long ginger hair and green eyes. She has olive coloured skin. She has a scar across her forehead.
She is youthful in appearance, of average height and hefty when compared to others of her race.

Hyellia the Vile has a stutter. Hyellia has callouses on her hands.

Racial Traits (DC 15 Knowledge): Hyellia is a Moon elf. Also called silver elves, moon elves are one of the most common subraces. They live a nomadic lifestyle, and often interacted with other races.

Hidden Traits (DC 20 Spot): Hyellia has an individualist attitude.

Personal History: Hyellia has been a Ranger for eighteen years. Hyellia was once nearly killed by a enchanted demon and this event had a profound effect on her. Hyellia spent several years of her life living in the wilds.

High stats and not a lot going on in Skills are what I noticed.
18th level, wow, that explains the stats.
You may want to move this to Older Editions to get more 3.5e eyes on it.
 

I've only played around with this a little, but what I see looks amazing. If you're looking for suggestions, I would say that adding in a couple Prestige Classes (at least the ones in the SRD) would be a great next step.

This is exactly what VTTs should be doing to make gaming better. I loved 3.5e, but I will admit it was a tedious system, especially at high levels. Tools like this are exactly the kind of thing that should make that kind of complex/crunchy RPG more accessible to the masses.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Yes, I may add a few Prestige classes at some point. I just do this as a hobby so its as the mood takes me at the moment.

We are mired in 3.5 at the moment. My group has tried 5th edition a few times, but we've not taken to it really. Besides, I've got a lot of the 3.5 physical books etc

I'd like to propose a follow-up feature that might end up being unique to your 3.5 generator: the character sheet editor. After part 1 generates the sheet, part 2 trims the fat so in each section you have no more than 3-4 things that a DM has to read while in an encounter.

E.g. skills: concentration 21, handle animal 20, know nature 19.
