Love the program, but…
In Pathfinder, when I back into a character (namely a Sorcerer Draconic Bloodline), the character ALWAYS loses his natural armor bonus for being over 3rd level. It’s there when you go up the level, but if I go back into the character to add coinage or just to review him, the Natural Armor bonus disappears.
Unchained Monk AC bonus isn’t calculated correctly. Otherwise a great program I’ve used for years and years now..thanks for all the effort the PCGen Team has put into it.

From my experience it has something to do with how unchained monk’s bonus AC and CMD from wisdom and levels is handled internally. A standard monk’s fine.
I managed to get correct numbers by editing the data files of pu_abilities_class.lst – removing the formula to calculate the unchained monk’s bonus BONUS:COMBAT|AC|MonkACBonus|PREVAREQ:ENCUMBERANCE,0,var(“COUNT[EQTYPE.ARMOR.EQUIPPED]”),0,var(“COUNT[EQTYPE.SHIELD.EQUIPPED]”),0 and just throwing in the standard monk’s BONUS:COMBAT|AC|MonkACBonus|PREVAREQ:MonkRestricted,0 It would seem something in the validation is going wrong, but I’m not familiar enough with the system to say exactly what.”
The output sheet is pure html or plain text, you just need to know the tags to generate it. Which is all detailed in the documentation, and in the multiple versions of the character sheets released.
Hi,
I cannot find my post anymore (deleted?), so I will post once more:
I would like to create a D&D 3.5E Scout character, later turning into dervish, what.
What advanced sources should I load, so I could find them amongst level-up classes?
I tried several, most notably Complete Adventurer and Complete Warrior, to no avail.
Your post had to be approved, that’s why it was missing. 🙂
The 35e Dervish is in the Complete Warrior, which was never released as OGC so we can’t include it in the program. But should you do a search you might find somebody made it and has it in a homebrew data repo.
There’s been some movement, a lot of it has been on our discord channel and work in Github so isn’t immediately apparent. A lot of the issues come down to a lack of developers and using ancient release processes, that we are in the process of re-configuring for current times.
My friend is having an issue where he can not get his character sheets loaded up due to issues with the sources. We just played a game on a few days ago, and he has not made any changes or updates to his computer since then, but now he can no longer get character sheets to launch. As he is the GM and has dozens of character sheets that he uses for NPCS and such, this might be the end of the campaigns if he can’t find a fix. I was wondering if anyone here had run into this issue before, and what the fixes might be?
We are running PCgen 6.08 RC8, and he is trying to load up Pathfinder 1e characters. The sources on some of them are different between characters, so we aren’t sure if it is a common source that is causing the issue, perhaps an update to java, or the worse and its a corrupted file. Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Using different sources for NPC’s in the same campaign can be tricky, because PCGen will ALWAYS attach ever source that is loaded when a character is saved. So if your NPC’s use different sources you need to close the previous char file, then open the new one and it will ask you if you want to load sources.

Any news on Pathfinder 2e for PCGen?
It’s in the final stages of testing. Working on the updated character sheet for it.
Any news on Pathfinder 2e for PCGen?
I am completely new to d20 and exspecially Pathfinder 2 and I am looking for a good char generator. Is PF2 now included?
It is almost ready for release.
Thanks!
Is there any plans to do variant multiclassing for Pathfinder 1e? or did I miss this some where in the options or settings?
Is there any chance that the World of Vampire Hunter D will be added?
Unless a volunteer picks it up and is interested in it probably not. You are talking about the Pathfinder version right? 🙂

I “think” this was worked out in the discord channel?

Is the UI customizable? I would like to use the character sheet manager for a game we’re building.

Hi sorry to bother but are there any plans to add Jewel of the East? or is there a way to manually add it to my version of pc gen?
Hi,
I would like to know if the development of this application is still ongoing or if it has come to a complete halt.
thanks for the answer
