Usage Notes

This tool was created as part of the boot.dev curriculum as my first personal project. There are undoubtedly more robust online tools for generating character sheets online, but this could still prove useful for any DM/GMs looking to create simple sheets to help introduce brand-new players to the game. To ensure this project could be completed in a reasonable amount of time, a few things have been notably ommitted from FLF (AC, Spells, Feats, and statblocks for equipment).

Any omissions were made to ensure the project could be completed within 20-40 hours of time investment as per curriculum guidelines. My suggestion? As a DM, you can use FLF to pre-generate sheets for players and fill-in/edit the output markdown files for your players to include more descriptive text and AC. You can also introduce your players to online resources like wikidot and include links in the generated sheets for players to reference.

Consider using FLF in a one-shot to teach players the basics of DND with a more rules-loose approach! (Does it really matter how much damage a firebolt does when you're just trying to get your players to think about roleplay and using all the tools in their kit? Save that for a real campaign!
