I have herolabs and have only recently moved to 5e. Is there a way to import a character to 5e campaigns yet - I can do it with 3.5e?
Can anyone recommend a character generator that is compatible?

Thanks for any replies - sorry if this is a newbie question :)

Cheers,
Booker.

Can you create a 5e character yet in HL? I haven't started my version up in ages but I didn't see the option there tonight.

I'd say without that you'd be out of luck.

Nah. Oh well, thanks anyway...

Yeah, other than Fantasy Grounds there are no officially licensed computer resources for Fantasy Grounds. Hero Labs doesn't support 5E, yet(?).

You can go the other way by taking a FG XML character and uploading it to a webpage and getting a printed character sheet though. See more here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?22440-5E-Character-sheet-from-XML).

I'd love for HL to support 5E, but so far there has been no word on this.

Anyone know a good character generator for 5E? I certainly don't mind manually entering it into FGII.

There is this pretty insane Excel spreadsheet (https://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?427158-ForgedAnvil-D-amp-D-5E-Character-Generator).

An instant download for an Excel geek like me. *lol*
