Free or cheap pregen 5e characters?

[TheKnightsSquire]

So I just bought FG, and was using DNDbeyond for storing my characters. It seems fairly complicated to import them into FG. I was wondering if anyone has made some free 5e pregenerated characters for download that I can edit. I'd also settle for any links to packs that cost money, so long as they are cheap.

I'm looking for level 1 characters in particular.

All those packs are great, however one of the characters I'm looking for is a Dwarf Ranger, but none of them had one unfortunately.

I'm also looking for tutorials on how to load them. I've searched but couldn't find any info on what folder character xml files go into.

Have you thought about using my D&D Beyond Character converter?

You simply enter your character ID, and it creates an XML file you import into FG.
(Provided your character is set to Public (the default) and not Private.

That sounds like just thing I was looking for! Dumb question though, where do I find the Character ID in my beyond sheet/account?

[dberkompas]

It's in the URL of each character, my site has instructions if I didn't screw that up with the updates.

Thanks, I found it, this is pretty much a life saver for me. But one more question, which folder do I put the xml file in?

You can put it wherever you'll be able to find it. Then you use the Import Character button on the Character Selection screen to load it into the campaign.

Hello - maybe I am too late, but I have 14 free pre-generated LVL 1 characters for 5e dnd Fantasy Grounds that I supply to new DM's free of charge. Also feel free to pick up a free Massive Dungeon Tile set Module, with 36 modular dungeon tiles, completely free and pre-packed into a module as well. Just click the dungeon image below the blue text titles - choose "FG Module" (incs roll tables for random generation of tile choice) or "Tiles", meaning separate files.

I downloaded "Rob Twohy Fantasy Grounds Pregenerated Characters" module from DM Guild, I put it in my "/AppData/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds/module" folder, but when I launch FGU it does not appear among the loadable modules... Anyone could help me please?!
