I notice we pretty much all know about the Oblivion Character Planner, but I don't think many people know about the . It's a great tool, although not yet as sophisticated as the Oblivion Character Planner. Still, really handy for anyone who's interested.

In addition, the Character Creator's creator ( :mrgreen: ), YogiBaar, has a great little tool, currently in development. While it isn't finished, it's still quite handy for Alchemy. If you know anything about Alchemy formulas and algorithms, have a look .

To add to these two tools, I've also recently discovered the . A nice handy tool for testing out and planning your enchanted weapons and apparel.

I just found this today while browsing this forum. It's pretty cool but I can't post a link to the character I created. Will more features be added do you think?

That looks handy, trying to find time to go back to Morrowind and try out a new character since my old build failed badly. Thanks for posting this :)

Wow. Thank you, OblivionDuruza, for this little marketing stunt. There's no better kick in the arse to get a move-on than such an exposure. :)
I am now so completely humbled I just had to register (and get yet another forum to follow) and thank you all for the nice comments.

And an attempt at an answer: yes, I definitely intend to expand the thing and add a much easier way to link to your character plan. At the moment it's pretty clunky indeed, because you have to hit the update button and manually copy the URL, as some seem to have discovered (or read). But I wanted to get the character creator out there as soon as possible, to get exactly this kind of feedback.

I'll also be adding a contact page this week so you can all spam me to Oblivion (pun intended) with your feature ideas and comments. :) But feel free to send those over here or over at the BethSoft forums as well.

Unfortunately, I can only work on the site during evenings thanks to bill-paying work and two little kids, but it's far from dead or finished.
I see I'll also have to eventually check out the Oblivion character planner to see what that one offers.

BTW, is anyone bothered by the ads? I'm planning to throw out the banner at the top since most humans have developed banner blindness by now and redesign the site a bit. The vertical one is staying in its House Dagoth confinement, though. What can I say, it makes me giggle. :)
Oh, and if you are or know a friendly designer, willing to spend a pro-bono hour on the damn thing, let me know.

No problem Yogi :mrgreen: I've been meaning to PM you actually, so it is most fortuitous that you have joined. Welcome to the Forums by the way! :mrgreen: You might even like to introduce yourself to the wider community, .

A user over at the I posted , noticed a small problem with , which incorrectly lists Hearth Heal as an available starting spell when it was not in-game. Might be something to look into with the Restoration skill level.

Anyway, thank you for creating this wonderful char. gen tool for Morrowind and thanks for sharing!

Ah, that would be because you haven't been 'confirmed' yet. I'll see if I can get a mod to add you to the confirmed user group, but it will happen automatically after 10 'counted' posts and 7 days.

Also, I can correct the Wiki Page if it incorrectly lists inclusion in the Major/Minor skill set. If you wouldn't mind PMing me or simply posting your findings somewhere I'll get straight onto remedying it if applicable.

At the risk of going completely off-topic, I was informed (and seemingly completely correctly) over at the BethSoft forums that it really is based on chance-to-cast. If the character has a 62.5% chance of casting any of the spells marked as starting PC spells, they get it, regardless of the spell's school of magic being among the major, minor or misc skills.

To stay on-topic, I'll do my best to integrate that into my chargen tool, which is dangerously close to being renamed to character planner, because I like that name a lot of more now. :)

Just to clear up any doubt about the issue, the user who reported it found the error after he used the tool to plan a new build and then made it in-game, finding that he did not have Hearth Heal (i.e. he found it through practical experience).

But yeah, any findings that are made can be added to the Wiki. It's this kind of testing that can be really handy, because it's this kind of info that you don't usually stumble upon.

This user has a name :P
If I knew that the creator of the site would read it I'd have worded my comment nicer, so apologies for my gruff manner :lol:

Actually, I created the build in-game a few days prior and used it to test the site. Still, the outcome is the same.

Great site by the way, it'll save all of us a lot of trouble.

The site underwent some massive backend changes. I fixed the starting spell bug as well.
