Level 1 may only use one costume type per day (but can choose any of the 3 cosplay types). 20 mins to change until level 6, then full-round action to change until level 12, then swift action (magically!). Different rules about changing costumes.Doing so didn't seem too powerful, and it simplified PCGen to such an extent I pretty much sigh with relief every time I think about it. Usually, a choice was allowed for Cosplay levels (such as mobility and low light vision for the cat/rogue type), I just awarded both. I've also made some adjustments just to make it easier to create something for PCGen.

Allowing divine spells at level 1 instead of 4 hardly seemed to make an impact (and it was easier to code for PCGen). With only 2 spells per level, she's lacking in versatility big time. Also, I ended awarding 2 spells at each level, and allowing both divine, arcane, and psionics at level 1. I upped the caster level to be 3/4 class level, but kept the spell level access to 1/2*class level rounded up (she'll get 9th level spells at level 17). She never cosplays the magic type because of the small spell selection and wimpy caster level (which originally was 1/2*class level).

I have a player who's playing this class.

The spell level accessibility progression may need some revision? My adjustments? Wizards don't get 9th level spells till level 17, and sorcerers at level 18. Per the caster level=2/3 class level formula, the anime girl will be casting 9th level spells at level 15 (2/3*15 class levels=10 caster level, which means 9th level spells are castable). b) 'She cannot cast a spell whose spell lever is greater than her caster level.' This implies that an anime girl of caster 9 can cast a 9th level spell. Such an anime girl would be able to cast 8 Power Word Kills in a day. The 30 spells per day scenario may not seem that powerful considering the anime girl's limited spells known, but at higher levels with a higher charisma? Suppose a charisma of 20 and a caster level of 9. Can she cast each spell 5 times per day for a total of (5 times per day x 6 spells known) 30 spells per day? Or can she cast a total of 5 spells, no matter which spell, in a single day? For former seems very powerful, the latter very wimpy.

Suppose I have an anime girl who knows 6 spells and has a charisma modifier of 2. There are still a couple points of for confusion me.ġ) Tentacle Susceptibility and Tentacle loving seem contradictory.Ī) 'She may cast a spell a number of times equal to 3 + Charisma modifier.' Does 'a spell' mean 'each spell' or 'spells per day'. Nice job cleaning this up from the original!

#PCGEN 3.5 DATA SETS GENERATOR#

About 3 years ago I wrote a random NPC generator for the then-brand-new 3rd edition of D&D.

It was quite popular for a while (and still has a large following), but suffered from many defects. Eventually, I’d like to rewrite it, and do it exactly “right” this time.

#PCGEN 3.5 DATA SETS HOW TO#

I’ve been thinking for a long time about how to go about doing it “right”. I recently sent Andargor an outline of several items that any good NPC generator must possess.

The requirements of any purely random or user-directed NPC generator must be clearly specified.

The kinds of inputs must be well-understood, in order to craft a generator that people will use. The inputs may be absent (in the case of a purely random NPC), or all-encompassing (in the case of a user building a specific NPC).

Given those (general) requirements, the generator should be goal-directed and incremental.Īnd there may be a generous mix of all of the above (“Give me a neutral good scholar that knows at least 1st level arcane spells, but can also pick locks, and make sure that he has some sort of craft or profession skill, but no more than one of each.”) (90% of the challenge of this is coming up with a user-interface to specify all of the possible constraints.) They may also be specific (such as when a user says that an NPC must have a specific feat or skill), or general (like the concept of a “role”, i.e.
