Convert PC to NPC
I’m currently using FGU. Is there a way to convert a PC to NPC? Making a PC is faster I think.

What ruleset?
Please either post in the ruleset specific forum or make sure to let us know what ruleset you are asking about.
For instance, SavageWorlds has a way to do this, D&D 5E does not.

There's no button you can press to convert a PC to NPC or vice versa, But you can create either based on the other.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Creating a PC is faster because you're probably used to do it. I'd recommend spending some hours on learning NPC statblock creation. It'll take me half an hour to build a 11th level wizard PC. I can build it as an NPC in <10min. It parses everything automatically for me.
Another thing that might not interest you, but: PCs are inherently different from NPCs in 5th edition. A high level monk NPC does not get all the class features a high level PC monk gets, unless you want it. They're supposed to play and feel different from a PC because their role in the game is completely distinct. I'd advise you to steal a thing or two from PC creation but don't make them PCs, so that your PCs feel special.
That does not answer your question... I'm aware, just thought I'd give you a very precious piece of advice that helped me a lot back in the day... Cheers.
The answer to your question is no. There is no way to auto-convert an PC into an NPC.Last edited by MasterJena; September 15th, 2020 at 17:40. Reason: grammar

AD&D Classics can also make an NPC out of a PC, and vice versa a PC out of an NPC.
