Is there a character builder/planner out?

[-theGame- (Timelost)]

Want to start thinking about how to build my first character and looking for something that will help me get a general idea going of what my options are

I think you'll have to wait for the full game to release to get a viable builder

Sadly there wont be a reliable one. Larian is doing homebrew, and full game releases a LOT of extra content and changes a lot to, so there likely wont be a good BG3 character planner until a week or two after launch

There are a bunch of 5e generic ones out there, but they will not have the exact same races, subclasses, feats, etc. Just google '5e character builder'.

There is a BG3 specific one (https://baldursgate3.gamefractal.com/), but was mirroring what we could / couldn't do in EA -- so it's quite out of date with what we can do on Thursday when the game launches. And it's not just capping at L5 vs. L12 -- attributes and racial bonuses have a changed a ton since EA, so give it a week or two after launch and I'm guessing it will be updated.

But let's be frank -- BG3 itself will become evreyone's character builder in conjunction with respec (i.e. respec, tweak things, reload and try again).

The downside of this is that it's only a 'plan to current level' sort of option -- no forward looking moves can be simulated in respec.

I like this one better than the gamefractal one.

Sadly, it doesn't go past level 5 though

respecs are basically free so you can use that to mess around

Update still no one out there skilled enough to make an app hmm =[

This one works pretty well.
