D&D 4e Starting Character Generator

admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:11:19 +0000

The Tinwatchman D&D 4e Starting Character Generator is a simple web application designed to help make the process of creating a 1st-level character easier. It allows you to select skills, feats, powers and – to a very limited extent – gear for your character, and then export your character’s data as plain text.

Praise for the Starting Character Generator:

“That was really cool. Thanks for the new tool. I was able to sit here with my GF and crank out an elven ranger for her in under 3 minutes. Awesome!”
“A damn snazzy and nifty tool tinwatchman! I’m bookmarking this one for later.”
“I like the clean, elegant style so far. No need for flashy stuff, but it doesn’t look shoddy either, just clean. Like an iPod.”
“As long as it provides all the basic options for starting characters, it’s a godsend… or is that deitysend…”
“I like this over the flash tools that DDI has… it is intuitive, easy to use, and nice clean design and interface.”
“This is a great utility! Thanks for posting and sharing.”

The D&D 4e Starting Character Generator requires Adobe Flash Player 9. The plugin can be downloaded for free from Adobe.com. Dungeons and Dragons and the Player’s Handbook are strictly © Wizards of the Coast, 2008.
