Character Creation Issues

  1. Why can't I make a (insert Prestige Class Name here)?

    Well I know you are all keen to play the Ooze Master, so here goes.
    Make sure you have chosen all the prerequisites. Not just some of them. This may include needing levels in a particular class, ranks in certain skills, a particular feat, particular spells in your spellbook and more. You can check how you are doing by clicking on the class (in the Classes Tab) you want to get to, in the bottom left hand corner it will show you the class and what pre-reqs you are missing (in red)

  2. Why isn't my character proficient with (insert Weapon Name here)?

    Are you sure you've fulfilled all the prerequisites for this weapon? If you have, on the Feat tab, try clicking the "Optional Prof" button, right next to where it says "Weapon Profs" and select the proficiency.

  3. Why are there no Feat/Skill-description?

    Bryan has decided to keep Feat description to the one-line description in the WotC books. This is done to prevent anyone from being able to use PCGen to bypass purchasing books. Feats that come from sources that don't have one-line descriptions have similar descriptions created for them.
    For special abilities from classes, PCGen has the name of the ability from the class level table in the source book although if someone adds in #/day or some such that isn't in there, that's not a big deal.
    If you want more description than this, you'll have to make your own version of the files, because this is the word of our "benevolent dictator," and it will go a long way to avoiding publishers breathing down people's necks about this whole thing.
    Needless to say we do NOT endorse or encourage people to start swapping fully descriptive text files. It is important to note that publishers are our friends! A vast majority have supported this, so we're going to play nice and so should you. If you don't play nice we send Karianna after you, she has soft paws...........
