Comment on Free Character Generators by Chino Devine

My personal favorite was always Redblade, before PCGen of course. It’s supposedly still in development for the newer system, 4e, but the 3.5 is very simple to edit and customize (though not as in depth as PCGen). It’s a little nicer and compact visually in comparison to PCGen, but what it lacks in ‘depth’ it makes up for quick character generating.

I highly suggest on getting the PCGEN and taking the time to learn it. Personally, I will never go back to manually writing up a character sheet, it is far too ardous.

Also please check out Pathfinder RPG if you want to run an updated 3.5 and not 4.

Ravids count as ECL 3?
XD
They’re more powerful as a level 1 PC than just about anything else, even Epic-level characters. One free spawn with no max cap and no max hit dice every 6 seconds?

PC: I go to sleep for 8 hours atop this pile of corpses. How many positive-energy powered undead are there when I wake up? There’s only 50 dead bodies so I guess the rest will have to be pebbles again.

GM: Uh… 8X60X10 is uh… 600X8 is 4800 objects. Fck.

Do you have any idea how unkillable a Swarm of Pebbles is? Immunity to fire/cold/weapons.

As long as you’re running 3.0 or 3.5, the SRD should be good enough for your purposes:

These links are great, I like the generators and all but I was wondering if anyone knew of a text document that’s around 50 pages that can be used much like the Players Book simply for character creation.

We’re trying to keep everyone in the group from having to sit on a computer during sessions. That and I’d be able to print out multiple of these books so that the group can all make their characters at once instead of one at a time.

I know i’m probably asking for a lot and keeping profits from WotC but we can’t afford 5 or more of the books and most of the people in my group don’t want/need all the extra info.
(I’m trying to create my own but am getting lost in the “what to cut” area, so help there would also be appreciated).

Thanks in advance for any help, thoughts and suggestions.

Comment on Stop Your Dice From Flying Around by Donat P. Fevre

Well, I think this would be more handy for the DM. If your friend is the DM, it may be a good gift for him/her, if you really think it’ll be a good gift.
