This application is an Excel spreadsheet intended to help create and manage a
single player character in the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition system. It does
not handle dice rolls, but it will handle almost everything that is the result
of a calculation or table lookup. You enter just the information needed in the
colored cells, and it does the rest. It handles basic abilities and statistics,
experience, class and level, skills, and character wealth.
The download is a ZIP file containing the spreadsheet file in Microsoft Excel
97 XLS format and an instruction file in ASCII text format. It is highly
recommended to read the instruction file befor attempting to use the
spreadsheet, most especially the first few paragraphs that discuss archiving the
original and using only copied and renamed XLS files.

On the Skills page in the K column, the formula only goes to CM, so the total skill ranks will only go to 20th level. It needs to go out to FO. Replace the current formula:
=...+CM
with
=...+CM+CQ+CU+CY+DC+DG+DK+DO+DS+DW+EA+EE+EI+EM+EQ+EU+EY+FC+FG+FK+FO |

Bug |
The BAB is calculated incorrectly for multiclass characters. It was previously thought that each attack of of a particular level in a class/prestige class was added separately to get the total - e.g. first attacks add, second attacks add, third attacks add, etc. - thus multiclassing slows the gaining of additional attacks. This was wrong. The correct way (as illustrated in the 2nd column of p.55 of PHB 3.0) is that you add up the first attack numbers for the BAB for all classes, then subtract 5 for each additional attack so long as the result remains positive and four attacks are not exceeded. |
