![]() I think that would be useful to many gamemasters. The party is weak on acid defenses so throw in an acid attack by some magic item just for kicks." The file format would be well documented by the tool vendor, and very flexible. "Limit encounters to CR 10 - 14 in arctic conditions with total gear under 10,000 gp. What I'd really like is a constraint file format that could go with the party and be used by the tool. Perhaps if I knew more about PCGen and GMGen I could get get this working. I'm looking for a tool that won't ask me to do more work selecting hit points, feats, gear. This meant I had to spend time clicking "OK" for 14 HD times each stone golem. You can then alter the possessions levels, skills, feats, equipment etc. The encounter tool should be able to read what my friend has already chosen about his PC, and build off that.Ĭ) Once GMGen had selected three stone golems, it did what the documentation says: """GMGen will then create blank character entities in PCGen. The tool should constrain down to +/- 2 levels of the party level, or give an option to provide that constraint.ī) There's no option to include nor exclude the Ranger's favored enemy in the generated encounter. The PCgen files have already provided an average party level. I tried building an encounter for a Ranger12, Cleric8 and Ftr8.Ī) GMGen provided a list of all monsters at the start of the encounter generation process (rather than excluding weaklings like the Tiny Monstrous Centipede). This is a nice feature to have, but it still doesn't do what I'm looking for. I also took a look at the Encounter tab tool that comes with GMGen which is included in PCGen: I am also beginning to think that what I am looking for does not exist. I'd like to find a tool that would be able to build from their options. As a lazy gamemaster, I know that my players have already selected options. But I still have to go to that site and select options and that site is not built for Pathfinder. The "wealth" and "Magic Damper" settings atīirched's NPC Generator at are closer to what I am thinking of WRT constraints on the results. So if the gamemaster wanted to ensure the PCs did not earn more than 10,000 gold after the encounter, the tool would calculate that most of the opponents would have scrolls (or other one-shot gear items) that would buff the opponents in a way to match the abilities in the PCGen files, and these scrolls would be used in the combat. Dragon, group of NPCs, group of undead, single vampire wizard with bodyguard.Ī third angle: "let the computer do all the stat calculation" the way that PCGen calculates the total gold piece value of all the gear. A sorcerer with fire spells would have a harder time in an aquatic encounter, and so on.Īnother angle: that tool could generate three or four or ten sets of opponents (from one set of PC Gen files) and the gamemaster could pick whatever is closest to his goal. so opponents attacking from the air would be a "Difficult" challenge. One angle on this is that the tool could identify that no character in the party had (for example) flight. ![]() There would (ideally) also be some constraints set by the gamemaster: total value of all gear from the opponents would be one constraint. ![]() ![]() Yes, I am looking for a tool that would build an appropriate challenge to the party based on the party's gear, spell selection, and feats. Has anyone else seen something like this? Neither of those tools will take the PCGen files I already have as input.Īs a lazy game master, I am looking for such a tool. I've seen the NPC Pathfinder generator atĮncounter Generator | DM Tools: No Prep Time, No Problem! In either case, the tool should do all the stat generation, gear generation, spell selection, and other math. It would be harder (but cooler) for the tool to return four NPCs. It'd be easier for the tool to return a single dragon. complete with all stats, spells, and gear. So, if we have 4 PCs at 12th level, I want to drop upload those four PCGen files to a web site, and have it spit back at me an "easy" level CR10 encounter, a CR 12 encounter, and a "hard" CR 14 encounter. ![]() My friends and I use PCGen to create pathfinder Player Characters. I'm looking for a NPC generator (or monster generator) that would take my PC Gen files as input. ![]()
