YAPCG - Yet Another Pathfinder Character Generator
YAPCG is a tool to help you create and manage all your Pathfinder Roleplaying Characters.
YAPCG is a spreadsheet tool which is designed to work on Microsoft Excel for Windows and Mac.
With YAPCG you can:
- Create and manage your characters for all your Pathfinder games
- Get automatic calculations based on
- Character race
- Character classes
- Prestige Classes
- Alternate Racial Options
- Class Archetypes
- Feats selected
- Skills selected
- Magic items carried
- Traits
- Hero Points
- Familiars (as allowed)
- Animal companions (if allowed)
- and mounts
- Once the character is ready you can either print out a nicely formatted paper copy for use at the gaming table or take your laptop with you to use the sheet during the game.
- You can apply over 150 different spell effects, conditions and class effects to your character. YAPCG will include the effects of this spell/condition in the calculations for your character. This makes playing your character on a laptop a breeze!
- In addition to character stats, YAPCG also helps you keep track of
- Equipment (mundane and magical)
- Spells for spellcasting classes
- Not just spell names but casting time, duration, area of affect, range, and descriptive text on the spells effects
- The sheet utilizes rules regarding metamagic feats/magic items to let you add metamagic feats to your spells. All affected spell effects are modified to show the changes
- You can look up any spell to determine the effects and requirements for the spell to determine if it is a spell you want to prepare
- Familiars (also automatically calculated)
- Animal companions (also automatically calculated)
- Mounts (normal mounts and special mounts for paladins)
- Eidolons for Summoners
- Wealth
- YAPCG shows you the location (Book and page number) of all special abilities, equipment information and spell information. These locations also serve as hyperlinks. If you click on the reference information you will be sent to the relative page of the Pathfinder SRD
While all rules are implemented in the character sheet, you have the option of choosing to ignore certain rules as allowed by your GM
You can also limit the rules to Pathfinder Society Open Play rules only (version 4.1)
You also have the option to insert homebrew or custom elements into the character. Currently, I have implemented the following Custom fields:
- Custom Diety
- Custom Domain
- Custom Languages(up to 10)
- Custom Notes for character sheets
- Custom Classes
- Custom classes can be saved and loaded independantly of the character data
- Custom Animal Companions
- These can be saved and loaded independantly of the character data
- Custom Familiars
- These can be saved and loaded independantly of the character data
- Custom Mounts
- These can be saved and loaded independantly of the character data
- Custom Traits
- Custom Feats
- Custom Spells
- Custom Magic Items
- Custom Races are being implemented as part of the Advanced Race Guide
What separates YAPCG from other sheets is:
- YAPCG will work equally well on Windows and Mac computers.
- Spells are fully integrated into YAPCG. No need to run a separate sheet for spells.
- Source materials are entered in their entirety. You know if a feat/archetype/spell or magic item has been implemented by reviewing the sources implemented.
- YAPCG tries to combine a large feature set with default values that limit the amount of time you need to "fiddle" with the sheet to get the results you need.
