See new posting here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?27159-Quick-Character-Build-(15-minutes)-for-Fanasty-Grounds-5E
I don't know if someone has done this, but I would love evaluations on my rudimentary QUICK character creation steps...
Give it a try and fire away with criticisms/improvements.
ThanX!

Step by step Fantasy Grounds 5E character creation… (should take approximately 12-15 minutes)
This assumes having the CORE PHB
This is a basic character set of instructions. Modifications may need to be made based on class, race, and/or background selections...
Open FG by choosing “Manage Characters” button
Choose 5E ruleset and click “Start”
Click on PCs button
Choose “edit list”
Choose “add item”
ON MAIN PAGE
Click on Portrait to choose from tokens
Type in Name
Type in raw Ability scores
Click on “Library” button and open PHB
Click on “Races”
Drag in Race (choose sub race if applicable)
Click on “Backgrounds”
Drag in Background
Click on “Classes”
Drag in Class (choose skills and additional options if queried)
SKILLS PAGE
In “Class” scroll down to proficiencies and choose from the list if you DIDN'T choose from a Class List.
Click the stars to make them yellow to add to list
ABILITIES PAGE
Choose additional languages (if applicable)
INVENTORY PAGE
In PHB Click on “Equipment”
In “Class” scroll to equipment, choose from list
Drag Equipment to inventory

Type in Alignment, Faction, and DCI# (as applicable)

Drag in Bonds
Type in Appearance and Notes (as applicable)
ACTIONS PAGE
(If character has spells)
In PHB Click on “Spells”
Click on Class
Drag in appropriate Cantrips and Spells
In most cases, AC will need adjustments due to armor, shield, and/or class traits.

In addition to the 26 pregens I made (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?26203-5E-pre-gen-player-characters), I'm hoping this will help people be able to get into games with characters they build AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!
Doug's video tutorial is great, but it's not complete, also a written format lends itself (for some people) to faster application? But here's my video of following this list... https://youtu.be/gWR4kerWbdU
Zacchaeus has done quite masterful work on the 5E Character Sheet Wiki, but again, this post is designed for the QUICKIE character, as it were. PLAY NOW, study later.
