Note - Should probably be in 3rd Party products
Hi everyone,
I've been playing Pathfinder for about two years and I can find a good app on most devices to allow for character creation.
However my group has jumped wholeheartedly into Starfinder.
My Question is are there any apps or programs for character creation for Starfinder out or in the works? I know about the fillable PDFs but I can't find one that actually works properly.
Thanks Lord Lee.
Both Herolab and PCGen are working on it.
PCGen is publicly available but is at Alpha level.
Herolab promised a Beta by "The end of this month". Note that it is releasing a whole new product and Starfinder will NOT be available on the "classic" product (at least not for quite awhile)
I use Herolab, and plan to purchase Herolab Online when it becomes available. It will have a monthly subscription fee, but the fee will only be $2, so I'm pretty okay with that.

My problem with the new HeroLab is I can’t always get a net connection at some of the locations I play.
I’m really surprised they didn’t realize this would be a problem given how infamously bad the connectivity is in the Sagamore at GenCon. Really seems like a disconnect on their part.

yeah i am waiting on the herolab online, if it works as they hope its going to be a good product
it should work offline for purposes of using the character and such just not i believe offline character creation, or it might be that you just cant save if not online, i forget what the faq said
ill need to jump there later and check.
Yeah, they are aware of connectivity issues, especially at cons and have some sort of strategy for dealing with that problem that means the product isn't unusable in such a situation.
Their FAQ says nothing about offline support. In fact, from various answers, to include the one that mentions not losing anything if you're temporarily disconnected, online-only usage is a reasonable conclusion to come to, especially considering one of their primary selling points is players interacting with each other for starship play.
If I've parsed their comments correctly, I don't believe that offline support will be available at launch, but it is planned (though no time frame has been given).

from the faq page i found this,
Will there be some form of “offline mode” for just-in-case a user loses internet access (signal dropped, power outage, etc.)?
A: Our plan is to provide an offline view of your character for just such occasions. It won’t support modifications to your character, but it will work in signal loss situations to allow you to keep playing.
