Thanks for the shout-out, John!
I would like to pipe-in and say I am in the middle of developing a free online character generator for the Pathfinder RPG. It started as a personal project, but then I thought I shouldn't keep something that might be useful to myself.
At the moment, I'm keeping the URL for the site under wraps until I get the first version sufficiently tested, but you can see screenshots and an early PDF from it in action at the link JReyst posted and a recent update at my blog, Mad Brew Labs:
The generator is entirely XHTML 1.0 Strict/CSS 2.1/Javascript for the UI but an ASP.NET server side takes all the user input and builds a custom PDF character sheet you can save to your own machine. So it should work on anything with a modern web browser and a PDF reader, but I haven't tested it on any mobile devices.
v1.0 Feature Implementation (bold items are finished; italicized items are in development):
- Ability Scores (point buy, tier points, racial adjustments)
- Core Classes (alignment restrictions, favored class bonuses, selectable class features)
- Skills (class skill training bonus, skill focus bonus, racial bonuses, ability modifiers)
- Calculated Combat Stats (BAB, CMB, CMD, AC, Touch AC, Flat Footed AC, Saves, HPs, Speed, Initiative)
- Feats (Racial, class granted feats, full prerequisite validation)
- Equipment (calculate wealth, calculate encumbrance, attack/damage bonuses, highlight proficiency, equip to slots)
- Spells (select known spells, select memorized spells, calculate DCs, calculate dice/bonuses)
- Save to PDF (complete with calculated values, racial & class features, custom landscape layout)
I plan on opening the beta version to the public on December 13th. I should have enough of the guts in place to make the generator mildly useful (everything in place except Equipment & Spells). At the moment, I'm only developing for the Core Rule Book, but I want to tackle the AGP as soon as I have the spit and polish on the core stuff.
If everyone would like, I'll release the URL for the beta testing here on the 'boards when it's ready for open testing. Also, if you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to tell/ask.
