A program to help you create a character for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons
A program to help you create a character for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. It outputs a PDF file with all the information of your character. Currently only supports the following: character name, character race, character class, character level, player name. The rest of the character features are under development.
Click here to download the current prototype. Run the exe file and it will install itself.
NOTE: You need everything inside the folder for it to work properly. Do not move the "Dnd Character Creator.exe" file to outside the folder as it won't be able to access and create your pdf file for your character. You may however create a shortcut to the "Dnd Character Creator.exe" file.
Characters created using the "Dnd Character Creator.exe" file will be output as a PDF in the "Character Sheets" folder within the "Exe Builds" folder.
Clone git repository to local computer using the following command:

Once iText 7 is unzipped go back to Eclipse and follow these steps:
right click on the DnD-Character-Creator project > hover over "Build Path" > click "Add External Archives" > navigate to the folder created when unzipping iText 7 > select everything > click "Open"
You can now run the DndCharacterCreator.java file to create your character or work on the project. Characters created using Eclipse will be output with the "Character Sheets" folder in the "Dnd-Character-Creator" folder (the current working folder) not in the "Exe Builds" folder.
