NPC CreatorBeta

Create D&D 3.5 NPC stat blocks for Fantasy Grounds: stack level-free archetypes with class-level and monster templates (resolve conflicts when fields overlap), import skill JSON, attach portrait/token previews, and download importable XML.

1 Templates

Templates stack. Archetypes are role kits (no class level); Levels set HD/BAB/saves/CR. When fields overlap, you choose which value to keep.

2 Identity & defense

3 Offense & skills

4 Spells

5 Notes (Other)

6 FG image paths

Set portrait/token visually in the Fantasy Grounds preview (Choose → pan/zoom). Paths below are written into the downloadable XML for FG modules (images/file@Module).

7 Export

Skill JSON import lives under Templates → (Copy skill + Stack / Replace).

How it works

What does the D&D 3.5 NPC Creator produce?

It builds NPCs with archetypes and monster templates, shows a Fantasy Grounds-style preview sheet, and can export importable FG XML for your game table.

Can I apply monster templates to an NPC?

Yes. Choose a base creature or archetype, add templates from the compendium, and review stat changes before export.

Does spell automation come from Fantasy Grounds mods?

Many cast actions are sourced from Fantasy Grounds module data where available. Other spells still show description and save DC from the compendium.
