What did you create/write it in?
Java 1.8 and Spring Boot (plus Thymeleaf for the web pages)
Ah. Unfortunately I know nothing at all about Java!

@baldrick0712 I have built a front end for your character generator and I was wondering if you could take a few minutes and stress test it. Extract the 7z file to wherever the jar file is located and run the exe. the options button will bring up a dialog to change options from the default ones. Generate Character button will generate a new character using whatever options you have selected.

Nice job! It works really well. It's a bit of a hybrid though due to what my app is sending back (HTML). Normally a backend would just send the data, like in a JSON format response message, allowing the frontend to display the data any way it liked. That's a possibility for the future I suppose.

Yes, it is very much a hybrid. If you want to go the JSON route, or any other format, let me know. If you can do that I will see about sending the output to pdf. I use your character generator a lot and I really like it. Kudos to you for such a helpful program

When I can next get around to it I'll add another query string parameter like json=true (leaving parameter off will default to current HTML response). That way your fancy frontend should be able to use it like a true backend web service and process the data returned any way you like (such as to fill in a PDF character sheet).

New version of the Lifepath Character Generator that implements the following...

PRISON: After a term in a career of crime, if war does not break out, roll a D6 – on an odd result, you must spend the next term in prison. (PM p36).

N.B. - Parameter "lastCareer=Police" ignores this rule as one of the Police career's prerequisites is not to have been a Prisoner.
