Pendragon Character Creation Program

[DarthBunting]

My search-fu may be weak, but is there a character generation program (preferably web based) to create Pendragon 5.X characters?   I see on sourceforge there is a Pendragon Toolbox program, but it doesn't look to have been updated since 2016 and is still in Alpha.

Given how quick and straight forward character generation is, I'd just use the book and type it straight into the form fillable pdf (https://greathall.chaosium.com/character-sheets/)

I've probably been spoiled by other games that have some form character generation assistance.   I agree generating a character in Pendragon isn't rocket science.   However for myself coming back to Pendragon after a bit took a few year break, create a character took a bit of time.   In particular what I found (and it probably is just a me thing) is  that it isn't a straight point buy for everything.   There are multiple pools of resources that act differently.   For example for skills you get 15pt knightly skill, 10 point non-combat, 10 points to spread, 4 floaters that among other things provide 5pts of skills.   You can also age your character and for each year provide 1d6 skill points.   As I went back and tried to balance out the skills (along with attributes, traits, passions), I found that I was loosing track what source each point came from.   At which point it is what led me to say "oh a character generation program would be nice".   Again it is probably just my lazy brain thinking this way (or I am misinterpreting rules and making things much more complex than they need to be).

Sadly I don't think there is such a thing. Agree that it would be a help.

If anyone is interested, I put together a google sheet to create a basic character.   (think the permissions should be set for anyone to view it)
