I am wanting to create Starfinder characters using PCGEN. When I go to the game drop down menu and select Starfinder and then select “Add Selected” followed by “Load”, I get an error. I can load other sources, just not Starfinder. What gives??
Nevermind…got it working, yay!
How do I load the Modern D20 section in PCgen, By the way love this program been using it for years
When will we see a video on TEMPBONUSes?
Hi, I’m having some issues trying to create a Hunter class character and I was hoping you could help me.
I heard I had to add “Inner sea magic” which I did but nothing changed, it still came up red and saying I wasn’t “qualified to take this class”.
This is my first time using PCGen so I’d be very grateful for your help.
Did you set your alignment to be neutral? PCGen follows the character creation guidelines where things have to be done in a certain order.
Where do I find the impossible bloodline for my pathfinder sorcerer build?
The Impossible Bloodline is in Champions of Balance, and I Don’t believe anyone has made that yet.
I’m looking for how to define a custom skill as a class skill for existing classes, such as if I want to create a custom Profession, and designate it as a class skill for a specific class, or even all classes.
Have you checked out the List File Classes in the documentation?
Hi there, recently reinstalled pcgen, due to new hardware. Ever since that, I can create a bard, but it is missing the class-features of bardic performance etc. The only class-features that work is the proficiency in armor and weapons. Tried changing the rulebooks, installed new 3 times by now, in hope that maybe missing files get added, but nothing changes.
I also am having trouble loading the D20 Modern Section of the latest release. Please Help?
How do you delete saved characters?
The characters are saved on your computer. Just delete the file with the “character name”.pcg
Hey there.
Am I able to somehow print or show a lower level of a character I have generated throug PCGen? I want to use one of my PCGen characters I built to 7th level at 3rd level.
Thanks for any help…maybe I’m missing something in my absent-mindedness. lol.

You can ATTEMPT to take off the levels (don’t save) and it will mostly work. But I would double check and make sure that all the class features and such got taken off. PCGen does not like deleveling so much.
I just save my character at each level as “name lvl x” so I can look back if I need to. I found that to be the easiest way.
I am trying to follow how to add custom feats, and it seems like I followed the video correctly, but I am adding a feat without a choice, with mult as no, so maybe I missed something.
I also notice the video is old and the instructions in the list seem to be different so I am not sure what I am missing to make it work.
Currently I am trying to add Sacred Vow, which gives a +2 Perfection Bonus to Diplomacy.
You could jump into our discord and lay-out your code and somebody will help you debug it. The best way to learn though is to find a feat that does almost the same thing you want and copy and past it, then alter it for your own use.
Are you adding it to a new copy of the homebrew template files or in one of the supplied data files?
