Homenbrew character creation tools


Homebrew and House Rules

Hello and good day to everyone,

I have a question, which I haven't found answers to, so in case it was already asked, I apologize for the oversight.

My question concerns if there are character creation tools that allow you to add your own homebrew content, since in the campaign I want to prepare, I'm changing a lot of ancestries and other things and I am at a loss, since things like pathbuilder, don't allow me to include this kind of content for my player, which I'd really like to, since the less work I have as a GM, the easier it is to go back to what I really want, GMing for my players.

So, would any of you king people be able to point me in direction of anything that could help me, or am I stuck with basically good old manual character sheet?

Thanks in advance for any and all answers kind people.

Herolab allows for custom coding, but it's complicated.

Also Ancestries is a 2E thing, this is a 1E forum.

Oh, sorry. I was sure I had posted this to the 2e Forum, my bad. Is there some mod who can maybe move this thread to the right forum?

I have never heard of herolab before.

Herolab Classic (PF1) and Herolab online (PF1, PF2, and SF) by Wolflair.com is probably the absolute best digital tool out there. It can be expensive, but if you are a regular gamer like I am, it's well worth it.

it was probably $300-$400 to get all the PF1 Rulebook data into Herolab classic, but you can have multiple users share a single account. And for Classic it's a onetime purchase. The online version also requires data set purchases, but also has monthly fee.

I know Classic has a data editor to create custom content, but I know it's complicated. We found PF1 to have enough content to not need any house custom stuff. YMMV

Wolflair.com; linkified for the op and for convenience's sake too. ;)

Sorry for the delay between answers. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it. It seems like a good solution for what I am looking for.

Hero Lab has a sale going on this weekend, so if you want to catch up on your Pathfinder stuff, now's a good time.
