Highlights

Section titled “Highlights”

Guided creation wizard

Section titled “Guided creation wizard”

The creation wizard moves through eight tabs: Start, Identity, Abilities, Hit Points, Equipment, Biography, Advancements, and Finalize. Identity splits into Background, Species, Class, and Subclass sub-tabs. The sidebar holds a live preview of the character. A tab carries a badge counting the choices still outstanding.

Ability scores

Section titled “Ability scores”

Generate ability scores with Standard Array, Point Buy, Manual Formula, or Manual Entry.

Hit points

Section titled “Hit points”

Hit points are taken as an average, as the maximum, or as a manual roll.

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. Gold is spent in the shop, where the player searches and sorts a catalogue and fills 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, then chooses between an Ability Score Improvement and a feat. The feat browser lists every feat, with an optional filter for the ones the character qualifies for.

Custom backgrounds

Section titled “Custom backgrounds”

The Background picker carries a Custom Background option. It opens a builder for ability scores, skills, tools, languages, feats, and starting gold. The finished background is written to a world compendium.

Random characters

Section titled “Random characters”

Randomize fills a new character in one pass. It sets the name, the identity picks, the ability scores, and the hit points.

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. The player levels up an existing class or multiclasses into a new one. The preview shows the hit points gained, the features granted, and whether spellcasting progresses.

GM approval queue

Section titled “GM approval queue”

Require approval before player characters are created. Submitted characters wait in a queue, where you approve, reject with a reason, or edit before approving.

Section titled “Module integrations”

Hero Mancer extends creation when sibling modules are active. Integrations covers what each one adds.
