ROT Character Builder

Post#1 » Sat May 27, 2023 10:26 am

Hello everyone,

a couple weeks ago I started to write a ROT Character Builder in Python. It is similar to the NWN2DB character builder but obviously not as evolved. It should be helpful though because it uses ROT custom rules and does not require an internet connection. The handling of races, classes, feats and abilities should be working correctly now with a few minor execptions. Just play around with it and tell me what you think.

What the builder does not take into account so far:
- Skills
- Casterlevel requirements
- Spelllevel requirements

- Probably many things more

You can download a first alpha version here:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iqsaibrc ... kuq9w&dl=0

Just unpack the zip file to a folder of your choice and run builder.exe.

PS: This is my very first project with Python so don't expect too much and my first larget programming project in general. I tried to make the builder safe to use but use it on your own risk.

I uploaded a newer version of the builder and updated the download link. The package got larger now because I added all 2da tables for spell level / caster level determination into the database.

Bugs that I am aware of so far:
[*] The skill selection does not work if you add multiple skills in a row without changing them first. To circumvent this just pick skill points in a new skill you added. If you do this it should work fine. Fixed

[*] The skill validation code is still a bit buggy. Skills on levels that don't have that skill as a class skill will be treated as non-class-skills regardless of the build having the skill on earlier levels. Fixed
[*] Spell level / caster level checks are still not implemented. Be careful if you add feats or classes with such a requirement because the builder won't stop you from doing that even if you don't meet the requirements. fixed

Would be great if you guys could try to build your characters with the builder and tell me if and where you run into problems.

[*] Fixed an error which made it impossible to load characters with domain choices
[*] Fixed a bug which caused some feats to not show up (like Shield Bash, Epic Combat Lethality)
[*] Temporary fix for the skill selection window (if you add a new skill the window now closes and you have to re-open it. This fixes a bug I wasn't able to find so far. It is a workaround and will be fixed correctly as soon as I find the reason).

Downlaod link updated


Edit: What is still missing is the correct implementation of path feats like the rangers or the warlocks paths.
