About PCGen Character Importer

**Please note that this app DOES NOT create characters, it imports .xml files generated by PCGen. Hero Lab users look at my other apps*

It is unfair to leave a 1 star review complaining it doesn't create a character when it is highlighted in the description!

---PCGen Character Sheet Lite offers the same experience for free with adverts---

PCGen Character Sheet allows you to import .xml files generated by PCGen to create dynamic character sheets for use on your Android device.

If you want a character sheet app for your device but don't want to enter all the information manually onto your device, PCGen can do all the hard work of creating your character for you, and then just use email or Dropbox to import it into the App and make your character sheet mobile.

When you want to level up, just update your character on PCGen, email/Dropbox it to yourself and re-import!

Features include:

*Custom Dice rollers
*Stat Linking - allows adjustments to stats to filter through to other areas of the sheet such as Skills and Attacks
*Multiple character sheets, easily managed through tabs
*Keep track of spell casting, health, subdual damage etc...
*Campaign notes
*Interactive help
*Critical Focus (Pathfinder)

Things to note:

*Read the help screen on first load - it answers most questions!
*All code used to make the character sheets look familiar to PCGen users, is my own.
*CMB - the app detects whether your imported CMB Stat value is the same as your STR or DEX modifier, to determine which stat should affect it through Stat Linking (due to certain feats, whether you character size is Tiny etc...)
*Conditional Save and Combat modifiers don't appear to actually be exported in the .xml, which is why the boxes will be empty, the boxes are present however to balance out the look and feel of the character sheet, and in preparation in case the information is exported in the future (though an app update would be required to read it).
*Stat Linking does not affect damage done by bows, as the .xml does not identify Composite bows, if the name and description is custom and did not use the word "Composite" the app would have no way of knowing so this was omitted.
*There is no ammo tracking as the .xml does not provide enough information to efficiently do this.
*If you have you imported a problematic .xml file and the app crashes everytime it loads, use the app settings in android to clear data associated with the app.
*Use the csheet_fantasy_generic_export.xml template to create your .xml file, all .xml files need to have the word PCGEN somewhere in the file name (upper/lower/mixed case is fine), and the extension must remain .xml, the app will try to read the files from default Downloads directory of your device, which is where email applications such as GMail should save files to by default.

If you have any problems with an .xml file or if you think something is wrong with how things are done, feel free to email me at dysfunctional.apps@gmail.com (preferably with the .xml file).

It just does exactly what the description tells you, and does it quickly and with no issues. Even my overly complicated 18th level Mythic Tier 6 Faerie Dragon Unchained Monk/Lore Warden Fighter/Soul Taker Stalker imported without issue. Awesome stuff, and looking forward to updates!

I like this app. I could be a great app, but I think I ran into a bug on my Samsung Galaxy tablet - Android version 4.2.2. I imported a character which works fine until I access his spell sheet, then it crashes and won't restart. Uninstall and reinstall is the only option. The character has no spells per se, but has a few spell-likes from items. If anyone knows why this is happening, I'd be glad to know. Without this problem I'd give it 5 stars.

I love this product and can not wait to see the V2. This app proved over my last 18 hours of gaming to help simplify all my attacks. I just wish that there was a tab added on here that could auto apply buffs or other effects. Would come in handy because you can not actually change your damage output only your attack its self.

Great program! I really like the way it looks - like a character sheet. It would be really great if there where individual notes for each character, but the regular Notes works fine as it is. I'm looking forward to version 2, but for now, version 1 meets all my needs!

Z70%
by Z####:

It's great! I would like to see the ability to make your character on the app but other than that, it's fantastic :D

I like I alt but there are 1 minor and another major problem. Minor dice sound rest of the table needs to know you areby rerouting all the time. Major whole point of using tablet instead of paper is auto complete, cast enlarge person and it modifies the relevant stats... well that's my wish list, but good work... ;)

This app is great as long as you do not need to update or add anything to the PC during a session. My husband loves the dice rolling feature, until he rolls a few critical fails on fear or spell resistance during a session, then he breaks out his dice. Only request, add something to put in notes that will save to PCGEN for the PC and/or equipment.

by L####:

I'd give it a 5 star but for some reason I can't add my weapon bonus to attack roll only see base bonus, I'd like a die on attack page. But other than that. Nice

E70%
by E####:

This app is great but it won't stay open after loading a character. It makes the app unusable

If you didn't have to use Dropbox it would be better.

Must have Dropbox installed to use.

great app, only missing the ability to chnage your prepaired spells

Just needs a little polish.

Awesome app, been using it for a while now & really love it. Thanks again for this. :-)

A70%
by A####:

Is there a 3.5 version? And how do you tell where your character lvl is? Also, why is it only limited to importing from dropbox and tells me there's another location in pcgen storage file but I can't access it? Where do I find character sheets to use on my phone or tablet?

R70%

Won't open on my galaxy s5

D70%
by D####:

Can't add new characters with out using a 3 party source so sucks

S70%
by S####:

I only wish there was a way to advance characters from this app, but then again that would require access to all the data sets, which of course would take up WAY to much space. Other than that, I don't have to bring anything to game other than my tablet, and maybe an extension cord! (For when sessions run long.) I hope the makers keep supporting this app, and maybe create similar app for DMs to run combat? I know there are others out there for that purpose, but This app is laid out so intelligently, and is so intuitive, I can only imagine that a DM app in the same style would work far better. Keep up the good work!

With everything it already has, I don't know why this guy doesn't work for the PCGEN group. It's a beautiful app does everything I want it to. My only wish is for it to hook up to the PCGEN DM utilities.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is a solid compliment to the pcgen program. It gives quick access to the important character details that are needed during a play session. I would like to see more cloud storage services integrated, and the existing notes system from pcgen rather than a separate one. I would love to see this become a creation tool rather than just a viewer, but I do not know if that is practical.

U70%
by U####:

Cleric spells which are auto known in pcgen did not come overwith the import. Otherthen that great app.

U70%
by U####:

Is there any way to switch to Wild Shape and see my stats change. Or should I just make few animal characters and import them? And can I change learned spells in app? Still best character sheet ever.

A70%
by A####:

Simple, does what it says, and developer is super responsive to feedback. I reported a bug and it was fixed the next day! Best tool available to bring my characters from pcgen to game night.

P70%
by P####:

I would love editable gold and inventory notes. Something of the sort. Otherwise, this app is the greatest.

D70%
by D####:

I like a lot of the features, but as a mage I am having issues with this app. I can't add spells to my memory and when I cast it doesn't remove it from my prepared spells list. Plus it doesn't know the dice for my spells so it always shows 1d3 and then I have to set the dice myself. I could live with t his but the spellbound management is a deal breaker for me.

Y70%
by Y####:

I had used the d20 Character Sheet app in the past, but the moment I tested out this I couldn't go back. The interface looks so much cleaner. It's easy to navigate around, and being able to switch through multiple character sheets without any trouble has been surprisingly useful. What's more is Disfunctional Apps' quickness in fixing what bugs may come up on importing. Definitely worth a purchase.

H70%
by H####:

so good, I upgraded from the free version. Works fine on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10. As pcgen is highly customisable (and free), it should be possible to get the xml output from it enhanced to include any other bits that could be displayed

Z70%
by Z####:

While there's still some functionality I'd like to see added such as automatic spell damage calculation, overall this is an amazing app that makes keeping track of your characters a breeze. I ran a trial with this as DM in a high-level game and loved how easy it was to calculate iterative attacks and HP modifiers, as well as switching from between multiple characters during a battle. So whether playing as a DM or player, this tool is fantastic.

D70%
by D####:

Tried the free version and liked it enough to buy. This is an excellent PCGen app! I've used this for both playing and DMing, and I can happily say it works wonderfully for both. For a player: Easy and familiar layout, with all the information you need quickly to hand. Weapon rolls, spell tracking, stat modifying and skill checks are all really easy to use. Can also track your HP (lethal and non-lethal) which is incredibly handy. Saves me scribbling out all over a character sheet all the time! Makes looking up feats and abilities much easier than leafing through many sheets of paper to find the one thing you're looking for. For a DM: Having all my players' sheets open at once makes combat MUCH quicker, as I have all their AC's and saves readily to hand, as well as being able to roll certain skill checks for them etc.

O70%
by O####:

Like others I had tried a few different character sheet apps without much luck. I basically just wanted my paper character sheet just on my tablet. I second the request for arrow counters and such. Also it is slightly annoying that it forces you to view in landscape mode, but nothing unbearable

D70%
by D####:

It would be good to have editable counts for items consumed and charges used

B70%
by B####:

I have seen many applications for characters on android products. They usually need you to input the info into the device and the math is wonky. This app imports from a proven (free) product and still lets you apply buffs and conditions. It's pretty much an open beta version right now, but the bugs are being smoothed out quickly.

D70%
by D####:

This app is exactly what I've been looking for to integrate pcgen managed charactersheets into my game without having to repeatedly print them out. It's laid out well and even rolls to see if you backed up a crit. A must have for players and dungeon masters alike!
