DDO Character Planner

[Ordinary]

My lanucher stopped working suddenly. I installed the program a few days ago and it worked the first day but now it won't launch. When I attempt to launch it does nothing at all and I tried several times, tried download the visual c++ but it says I have a more recent version installed.

It may be being created but hidden off screen.
Can you go to the install folder and delete the DDOBuilder.ini file to see if it corrects the issue.

Umm, no. The old was per 4 epic past lives, the new is 3.

Also, Combat Archery only requires 17 dex now.

I like this builder but I am unsure of 1 thing. I am creating a character that takes thf at level 3 (requires 15str at level 3). According to the planner, I can create the character with only 12 str (I have an 8 str tome), and my str will be 15 at level 3 and I can take thf then. Is this correct? I was under the impression that a tome increase took place after you leveled up, but I certainly may be wrong. I hate to tr a toon into this build and not have the correct str at level 3.

The answer is both Yes and No.

For level 1 the tomes do not apply until you have entered the game (so tomes do not help feat selection at level 1, but do help for feat selection when doing a feat exchange with Fred the Mindflayer)
For all other levels they apply at the required level during level up.

Thank you very much, I knew that the tomes for level 1 didnt apply till you entered the game, and thats why I was uncertain if they did apply during leveling up the other levels. Again, thanks very much!

Really amazing work. This helped me discover and fix some issues in a build.

There is only one major omission I see, unless I just missed it. I don't see an option to show a summary of the results. Ideally, I'd like to have some way to share my build and ask for critique on the forums, and/or to see some sort of a level-by-level view to aid in leveling up.

Is this in there somewhere? Something like the "Forum Export" from DDOCharGen?

Thanks either way. Great tool.

There is a "Forum Export" menu and an option to copy output data to the clipboard. You can then choose which sections to include and in what order. Pressing OK in this dialog copies the content as text that can be pasted directly into a forum post.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure yesterday I created a character during the initial launch of the program. And during that first use of the program, many of those extra menus were not visible. It just had "File", "Settings", "View", and "Help".

I see now that the intended behavior is to have several additional menus when a character is loaded. Unsure how I managed to get it to have character data in, but not have the menus. But it all looks great (and makes way more sense) now. I am unable to reproduce what I saw yesterday, so either it was a first launch thing or I did something that confused it... Or, perhaps I just did something that confused me.

Thanks for an amazing program. I'll try the forum export now.

Mostly fixes in this one collected over the last month. Note that although this is release 140, I forgot to update the build number internally in the software so it will still show 139.

Excellent work, as always. Glad to see this project being updated so frequently; tools like this aren't easy to maintain.

Really looking forward to U50 changes, only about 150 new items and ~200 to be updated

[Xerinath]

Is it possible to lower the character from max level? I'd like to view what stats they would have at earlier levels, like 15 or 20 instead of having all the epic bonuses.

Not in this version sadly.
Its a feature built into version 2 which is under development. Not ETA on it yet.

[Denox21]

Am I missing something? When I download version 140 and extract it all to the builder folder, my ddobuilder still says version 139. Tried a few times now and even a new folder, still says 139 :/
