Character Generator with more than just Core?

[OberonViking]

I want to knock up a Barbarian with the Titan Mauler archetype. Is there character gen with that capability?

HeroLab.

Oh, yeah... I'm only running the demo mode of HeroLab. I don't intend to upgrade to the full version because I don't overly like it. I don't like the UI.

Anything else?

You could try sCoreGen at:

but I don't think it has what you want. For the latest updates you really have to go with HeroLab or do it yourself.

I like the sCoreGen, and use it a lot. But I want sMoreThanJustCoreGen this time. I usually prefer to go Core only as I make NPCs.

Have you tried PCGen? Not sure how much they have beyond core, as I haven't been keeping up with it like I used to. I typically type my characters out these days.

I haven't used PCGen for years... I used to use it on a Mac, and we replaced that one at least three years ago.

As it is for a one off, I will do it by hand. I often prefer to do that anyway, and I've made a little spreadsheet that prints out an easy to read one page, and it only calculates the basic - skill bonus, AC, hp. It leaves lots of space for Feat/Class Features and a brief explanation.

PCGen only has the CRB. I also hate its interface (like I hate Herolab's). sCoreGen at least makes an attempt at looking intuitive.

This is not true. The Bestiary is in, I believe the APG is in, and bits and pieces of other things are available. I don't know whether Titan Mauler, specifically, is in; I don't remember what book it's from.

A fair criticism. They are working on improving the GUI, but I don't know how much better you'll think the new one is. I haven't seen sCoreGen, and I plan to take a look at it, but how is it better than PCGen and HeroLab?

You still can't make a cavalier.

In PC-Gen? Strange, my group only uses PC-Gen and we have a cavalier that the GM allowed using a wooly rhino as a mount and it is in PC-Gen. ScoreGen I am pretty positive you cannot, but the spinoff Path_Forge I think you can and it was just updated the other day. The developer of Path_Forge is adding in Archetypes now.

You may want to check out VentureCaptain(IIRC) and Treasure Troves online character generators as well.

I just made a cavalier a couple days ago in PCGen.
In full disclosure, I should mention that I add content to my PCGen install fairly often when it isn't doing what I want it to, but I didn't 'add' cavalier.

Could you provide a direct link to the additional files?

Thanks.

Next upgrade should be APG + Magus... They are there now but dont quite work.

For PCGen? I'm not sure what version you are using, so I'm not sure which link to post. I will put this link to the download page. I think the 5.17.8 alpha version of the program has the most recent official data files; for 5.16.4, you'll want to get the Pathfinder APG dataset Update 6, which is the second-most recent. (I thought there was an Update 7, but I don't see a link to it on the site.)

The Only Sheet

www.theonlysheet.com

Includes all 3.5 and PF up to APG, and it's pretty simple to add custom content. I's a monster Excel file.

At $20 (which includes free upgrades?) I'm likely better off with Herolab.

Anyone give me a run down on if this is worth it?

Hi Folks!

Here is the link to the latest PCGen 5.16.4 APG Update file.
