Character Generators

Usually, character generators are used to quickly create characters in a more or less automated way, depending on the generator. Here you will find different generators for Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder RPG, presented in many forms: applications, Miscrosoft Excel sheet, editable PDF, etc.

D&D 5th Edition Character Generators

English Content

• Character Builder

  This 100% online aplication allows you to create D&D 5e characters from A to Z.

  At each step of the creation process, from selecting a race to choosing equipment, the aplication shows and guides you through all the available choices.

  When you're done creating your character, you can save it in the official D&D 5e character sheet format, but you can also download a CSV export that you will be able to reimport into the tool later to modify your character as it advances from level to level.

• D&D 5e Random Character Generator (v9.7)

  A very complete random character generator that creates a new character, up to level 20, only by pressing F9 on your keyboard. Characters come with name, race, class (including archetype), short background and personal traits, skills, spells, appearance, equipment, etc. The generated sheet contains lots of space to manually add anything you'd like.

  The generator works best with Microsoft Excel. You can also use the Google Sheets version, for which we recommend Google Chrome. Please be patient when refreshing the online version (with F9), as it may take several seconds for your browser to make all the calculations.

  It was created by Emirikol with assistance on the character sheet and refinements by SinisterIntentions at EN World Forums.
