The CharacterBuildCalculator is an Excel Sheet that allows you to create builds very fast and easily. You just select your race, your class (or classes) and the order of leveling. Then the CBC calculates at which level you gain a feat (regular/bonus) and what class feats you get. Also the CBC calculates your hitpoints, your BAB, your attacks/round, your saving throws, skill points, spell casting, bard song and many more things. Finally the CBC generates a text output of your build ready to post everywhere you like.

Hello HipMaestro, thanks for your comment. However I think there's nothing wrong with CBC. For halflings for example both Skill Afinity: Listen (+2 to Listen), Skill Afinity: Move Sliently (+2 to Move Silently) are included. Also included is the Small Creature feat (bonus to AB, AC) but the +4 bonus to hide checks is applied only 'when dealing with larger creatures' (that's what the feat description says). And because the bonus is not visible in the character sheet it's also not included in the CBC.

Apparently, the calculator is ignoring the size modifier for skills, specifically, hide, move silently, listen, and spot. For halfling gnome the current calculation for modified level should be increased by +4. At this writing, I am making the adjustment manually prior to releasing a build. I am currently using v2.833, intended to update to the latest version until I noticed it has not been addressed in the latest versions. In any case, thanks for maintaining it so well, Kamiryn! ;) _________________________ The NEW Epic Character Builder's guild

Spells per day calculation for wizards with schools of specialization finally fixed.
Thanks for reporting the bug, I'll take a look at the weekend.

Oops. I meant to say the spells/day calculation was off at level 5 for specialist wizards, not at level 4. The cells to be changed to fix the calculation error were correct.

The CBC is awesome! An excellent tool for planning builds, with the added "interactive learning" benefit that one will learn tons about character building by using it. One slight bug (?), though. The spells per day calculation for wizards with schools of specialization are off at level 4, due to three cells on the SpellsClassLevel sheet. Cells BU9, BV9, and BW9 on that sheet should have values one higher than they do (that is, they should have values 4, 3, and 2, respectively). Thank you so much for the CBC, Kamiryn.
