problems with pcgen and other character generator


Product Discussion


I was looking for a character generator with good interface yet many of them are too annoying to deal with and slow. Pcgen seems good yet I couldn't manage to make it work. It doesn't seem to accept my some of my stat selection no bonus skill points from intelligence but bonus languages and hit points work fine, maximum load of character is 0 and so. Can anybody help me with this problem or is there any other free program I can use?


Have you selected a race and class yet?


Also this video might help

Yes I did but skill points gained when adding a class is wrong(it only shows base ranks),in the video even character without a class have a positive score for load yet in mine it shows 0. Do I need to make memory use changes? I don't get errors(as in things load fine) but maybe I have to start it with some commands?


Did you set your stats BEFORE adding your level? That's one thing that has to be done in order.


I'm downloadind the latest version and will post a step by step process that I use to make a character so we can compare and see why it's not working the way I (and you) expect.


Dammit it I had the whole process typed out, hit preview and it wiped out what I took about 45 minutes of typing out.

Here's where I think is messing up for you. When PCGen is started for the first time. It assumes that you want to enter in your own values for your attributes. If you select "Method" and then either select "Roll 4d6 drop lowest" or "Point buy method > 20 points". Then click on "Roll" on the summary page and it will either make a bunch of roles for you or set everything to 8's and let you add from your point pool.

Then select your race, then select class and then you're load and skills should be correct.


BTW, if anyone ever wants some help with PCGen they can drop me a line with Google Hangouts and if I'm free I'll try and give a hand.

I'm on G+ under Paul Grosse (or nylanfs, not sure which.
