GURPS Lite Character Creator

Building your character

There are two ways to fill out a character sheet.

Freeform

This assumes you know what you're doing. Just fill out the character sheet, if you have javascript the values will automatically recalculate as you enter information.

Step by step

Via the GURPS Lite character generation rules. To do that, go to

Step 1: Character points

Choose your starting number of character points.

Feeble	0-25
Average	26-50
Competant	51-75
Exceptional	76-100
Heroic	101-200
Larger than life	201-300
Legendary	301-500

Once you've selected your character points,

Step 2: Basic attributes

Alter your basic attributes, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Health. Each point above 10 costs you 10 character points for Strength or Health and 20 character points for Dexterity or Intelligence. Each point below ten gives you that many points.

Once you've determined these attributes and the system will calculate your secondary characteristics for you, or and change your selection.

Step 3: Secondary characteristics

Note that the secondary characteristics highlighted in the previous step have been calculated based on what you chose. Also, the points expenditure has been updated.

If you're happy with this , if you'd like to change your selection or if you'd like to recalculate values and stay on this page and stay at step 3.

Big thanks to everyone sending in bug reports! Keep 'em coming, but include your name and email address so I can get back to you with questions if I can't see the problem.

Remaining bugs/ features

Saving the character. Hmmm. How would people like that to work? You have to make an account here or you just get a specific URL that will recreate your character? The second one means you'll have to rebookmark every time you "save".
Advantages not adding up correctly: Can people tell me exactly what they've added so I can read the code and find the faults?
Points remaining but can't buy skills: Again, can I have some examples?
Printed sheet always has 240 used and 10 points left: Hmmm, looking into that.
Missing military rank/ phobias: I'm basing this off the Lite rules, I didn't see that stuff in the lite rules, so they're not here. Once I get this really working well, I might look into doing the full version... LIES!
Can't add multiple specialisation: You could always do that by filling up a slot and then hitting "recalc" - v1.3 extends the JS interface so you can add new ones without having to reload.

Version 1.4

Big thanks to suggestion submitter Isaiah for the following.
Fixed up the "print" button so it forces an image download; in some browsers the previous "print" button showed the image fine initially but it couldn't be saved or printed.
Added a quick save and load function.

Version 1.3

Added a new extension for adding multiple specialisation via the JS interface rather than having to keep saving the damn thing.
Forcing people to add their name and email address for feedback now, as I cannot debug most of the emails without talking to people.
