RPG Scribe Pathfinder & 3.5 4+

This is the best Pathfinder, first edition application that I have ever found. I’ve tried other character sheet apps, and found them to be overcomplicated and difficult to use because you have to manually put in all of the information just like you would on a standard paper character.
I would highly recommend this application for new players, as when you create a character on this app it helps walk you through the process, and for the most part shows you only the feats and options available to your character. this may not be 100% all the time but it’s accurate about 90% of the time or more. This app also has great reference material being able to easily look up, spells, feats, and other types of information very easily. it’s still receives updates on pretty much a monthly basis, sometimes longer, updating classes and other types of game information. it doesn’t have every single feet from every book but again I’d say between 90 and 95% is in there if you purchase all of the expanded content. this is honestly a one stop shop for tracking character sheets, looking up information, tracking spells, etc..

This app has most everything you need and definitely a HUGE help in learning the system flawlessly. I do say almost because it doesn’t have every archetype within the expansion pack but the developers are actively updating and implementing them so you will have to be patient for everything to eventually be rolled out.

The layout is clean and very easy to understand while also being quite modular. If there is one improvement I would like to make, it would be the option to edit existing characters to incorporate future archetypes that have yet to be added to a class. Other than that, this app gives you the option to add your own classes, feats, items, spells and even languages just to name a few.

So far this has been the best option on the market and by a long shot. The cost for the expansion pack is almost too generous considering it incorporates everything + future updates while being a free app initially, and it’s a small price to pay to support the developers into giving us better content. All in all, I highly recommend it!

I’m not normally one to pay for an app, but I think that this one was worth the $2.99 for the app itself and the $4.99 for the Pathfinder upgrade. I play in a play-by-post group and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been out somewhere and unable to update because I needed to refer to something on my character sheet, which I keep at home on my computer! I especially love that it makes all most of the calculations you need for you.

That said, it does not have every single Pathfinder option ever released. Among the things missing, I noted story feats, animal companion-specific feats, the elemental arcane schools for wizards, as well as most magical items that aren’t worn in one of the slots and many of the mundane items, though you can add some of those yourself. I also could not figure out how to add magic properties to weapons, though that may be a user error on my part.

But if you don’t need to venture too deeply into every PF option ever offered, this app should work just fine for you.
