FAQ
What game systems are supported?
Currently the builder supports classic D&D 5e plus a 2024 / 5.5e profile based on current SRD 5.2 data. Pathfinder 2e is planned for a future update.
Can I manually set ability scores?
Yes! You can use Point Buy (27 points), Standard Array, roll 4d6 drop lowest, or enter scores manually.
Does it include subclasses?
Phase 1 focuses on base classes. Subclass selection and features will be added in a follow-up update.
Can I export a character sheet?
Yes — both a styled narrative card and a traditional character sheet layout are available as PDFs.
What is the CharGen Character Generator?
The CharGen Character Generator is an AI tool that builds complete D&D 5E player characters through a step-by-step wizard in under 3 minutes. Pick a class, species, background, and ability score method (point buy, standard array, rolled), and the Character Generator fills in proficiencies, skills, equipment, AC, HP, attacks, and starting spells per the official rules.
The AI then writes a tailored backstory, personality traits, ideals, bonds, flaws, and an AI portrait that matches the character concept. Unlike generic character creators, the output is a printable D&D 5E-compliant character sheet with a named character ready to play, exportable to PDF or a shareable public page. Compatible with all official 5E classes and species, plus common homebrew options. Free tier covers full character creation; party portraits and premium portrait models unlock on Plus and above.
