Equipping Tab

Use the Equipping tab to create specific sets of equipment. Begin by naming your set in the Equip Set: blank. Type the name in the blank and click the Add button. To remove an Equipment Set, select it from the Equip Set list on the right hand side and click the Del button at the top.

You may add items to an Equipment Set by selecting them from the tree on the left hand side and specify how you want the item equipped. You may specify one or more weapons to be equipped until your hands are full. Other weapons may be carried but not equipped if your hands are full.

If you want items to go in a container such as a backpack or belt pouch, be sure to keep the container highlighted in the Equip Set area to the right.

To remove an item from your Equipment Set, select it from the Equip Set: list and select the remove key.

Alternatively, you may add equipment to an Equipment Set by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the = key. You may also remove equipment from an Equipment Set by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the - (minus) key.

As you select equipment from the Equipment List to the left, you will be able to see a brief explanation appear in the lower left hand corner, describing the item's statistics.

To view your completed character in a browser, click the View in Browser button in the lower right hand section. You can also save the formatted character directly to disk by clicking the Export to File button, also located in the lower right hand section. This will bring up a file save dialogue so that you may browse to the location where you would like your file kept. You may select various different formats based on a number of templates provided with PCGen by clicking the Select template button located in the lower right hand side. This will bring up a dialog allowing you to browse to, and select the template that you desire.

There are "sliding dividers" between the Sort Equipment and Equip Set tables - you can click on this divider and slide it back and forth to your preferred location. There's also a divider between the upper-tables and the info sections below which you can drag up and down to change the viewing area of each. There's another divider between the info sections. This combination of 3 sliding dividers is common to most of the character-related tabs to allow you to change how much screen real-estate is devoted to each section. On most tabs there's a button which has 2 circling arrows that will reverse the orientation of the views between horizontal and vertical. This gives you many options on the layout of the tab.
