What is Pcgen?

PCGen helps you build characters for role-playing games like Pathfinder and D&D.

It's like a character sheet that handles all the tricky and tedious parts of building characters. You can use it to build one character for yourself, or to keep track of a dozen NPCs for a game world.

PCGen is a volunteer project, so it's free of charge and always will be.
