Highlights

Section titled “Highlights”

Guided creation wizard

Section titled “Guided creation wizard”

The creation wizard moves through eight tabs: Start, Identity, Abilities, HP, Equipment, Biography, Advancements, and Finalize. Identity holds Background, Species, and Class sub-sections, plus a Subclass sub-tab when one applies. A live preview tracks hit points, proficiencies, and remaining choices as the player fills each tab.

Flexible ability scores

Section titled “Flexible ability scores”

Generate ability scores with Standard Array, Point Buy, or Manual rolls. The GM decides which methods players may use and sets the limits for each.

Equipment and starting gold

Section titled “Equipment and starting gold”

A character takes the equipment its class and background grant, or takes starting gold instead and spends it in the shop. The shop lets the player search, sort, and add items to a cart before finalizing.

Advancements and feats

Section titled “Advancements and feats”

Class, species, and background advancements resolve in one place. The player picks skills, languages, and tools, chooses between an Ability Score Improvement or a feat, and browses feats filtered to ones the character qualifies for.

Leveling up and multiclassing

Section titled “Leveling up and multiclassing”

When you grant a level-up, a glowing Level Up button appears on the player’s sheet near the rest buttons. The player levels up an existing class or multiclasses into a new one, with a preview of new hit points, features, and spell-slot changes.

GM approval queue

Section titled “GM approval queue”

GMs can require approval before player characters are created. Submitted characters wait in a queue for review, where the GM can approve, reject with a reason, or edit before approving.

For developers

Section titled “For developers”

Hero Mancer exposes integration points for other modules and macros:

  • API reference: methods for launching the wizard and working with character data
