FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a Basic Fantasy RPG character with ability scores and racial bonuses?▼

Character generation applies either 4d6 keep-highest-3 or classic 3d6 rolling to create ability scores, then applies race-based bonuses like strength increases for dwarves or dexterity boosts for elves, computing final modifiers automatically.

Can I create multiple characters and save them for later use in my campaign?▼

Yes, generated characters save automatically to data/characters/ as JSON files, enabling you to list, view, and reuse them across sessions without recreating stats or recalculating modifiers.

What's the fastest way to generate player and NPC characters during a game session?▼

The CLI workflow generates a complete character—stats, class fit, hit points, starting gold—in moments using a single command like `./sw-character create "Name" --race=human --class=fighter`, ready for immediate campaign use.

Does this support exporting characters in formats other than JSON?▼

Character generation supports JSON and Markdown export formats, letting you share or integrate character sheets into campaign documents or external tools.

Can I use deterministic ability score generation instead of rolling dice?▼

Yes, the Skill supports both deterministic generation methods and standard dice rolling (4d6kh3 or 3d6), giving you control over character creation consistency for specific campaign needs.
