Help with importing character

[Williamus]

Hi all,

This is my first post here, so be gentle (haha). I'm trying to set up a campaign for my kids to run in, and they've both created characters in PCGen 6.08.00 RC8. I can export their character files to xml just fine, but when I import them into FGU, their stats, skills, feats..etc are all not transferring. I read around before posting and found reference to a character converter, but I looked in my appdata folder and it's not there. Help?

There isn't a way to import characters into Unity from anything other than a character exported from Classic or created in Unity.

So the best method would be to create a campaign and create the characters directly into the campaign that you'll be running.

And welcome to FG.

That's unfortunate, but fits with what I was seeing. I suppose I can simply manually transfer the data. I can still transfer the base character file with names and descriptions, so at least there's that

I believe Nylafs is our local PCGen expert. Hopefully he will see this and can tell you what he does.

I did manage to import parts of the character into FGU from PCGen, but the ability scores, hp, and a few other things did not import.

What about .xml characters such as your archetype PC examples?

Those are .xml files exported from Classic.
