Use Case

Creating characters in Fate is a relatively simple process, so the publisher does not produce extensive libraries or resources of characters for use by players / game masters. This project hopes to provide an accessible resource to efficiently build characters; to help reduce the preparation time and overall accessibility of the game.

Players and Game Masters can use Fate Character Codex to:

  • efficiently create characters of various different types
  • make decisions during character creation one step at a time, with short, relevant prompts from the rulebooks provided for each step
  • manage changes to saved characters throughout campaign play
  • track stress and consequences during a session
  • find characters and creatures created by other users to instantly use in their own games

Character Types Supported

Fate Core:

  • Player Characters (PCs)
  • Non-Player Characters (NPCs)
    • Nameless NPCs (Average, Fair, Good)
    • Supporting NPCs
    • Main NPC

Fate Adversary Toolkit:

  • Enemies
    • Threats
    • Hitters
    • Bosses
    • Fillers (Average, Fair, Good)
