There was unexpectedly high invoice from cloud provider. Need to find a new hosting service that is more predictable and for that while the service will be down – hopefully only for few days.

There is a new tool in early beta at http://tools.notesfrompavis.com/

If you want to design characters relatively quickly Character Skill Designer is there for you to help with the skills part. It (currently) helps to create cultures and careers from the Mythras Core.

It gives the player quick way to design the skill set. In Mythras RAW there is a set of standard and professional skills available per culture and career. Each culture also has different careers available.

So enter the characteristics (Str, Siz, Con etc…) in the tool

So for example if your player has dreamed of being a Nomad Diabolist from Northern Wastes CSD lets him pick Nomad as the culture, Diabolist as a profession. After this tool let’s you select the right amount of professional cultural and career skills (which is max 3).

Next it let’s you see all the skills (including the standard skills that were not available with the culture/profession). The CSD calculates the base percentages for the skills and let’s you sort them by skill% to see how the skills fit players view and where to add cultural or career points.

The skill template has a note for each skill about whether you can use cultural or career points or whether it is just standard. When you are satisfied with the skill combination you can download that as a CSV file.

This will be developed further. There might be some bugs in the combinations, feedback welcome

Mythras Encounter Generator is a tool for generating countless number of NPCs and Enemies to help out the GM and usually oppose the players. It is easy to use and generates either on screen, PDF or PNG format encounters.

But there are other format needs and so far they have been served by building perhaps a bit cryptic URL to generate the JSON. The spell has been cast. By popular request (thanks Bilharzia and others at Discord) there is now a user interface for those who need the JSON format from Mythras Encounter Generator.

Mythras Encounter Generator JSON

This can be useful for those who want to copy the generated enemy to other places for example Roll20.

Select from the left Mythras Encounter Generator JSON and you will after a short while see the below screen.

• Select the tag you want

• Within the tag you can search for the name of the enemy if you want.

• Select the number of enemies (remember Roll20 wants to have only 1 at the time)

• Select the enemy.

• Select from the automatically generated list the small blue icon to copy the JSON to clipboard.

Paste the content to program you want for example Roll20.

Tool is available here at tools.notesfrompavis.com

Previously this was only available for those who figured out how to use this with URL format
