So I have created a character and saved it. My question now is how do I view it without using the character generator? I don't have a printer at home so I need to save it to a USB stick and take it someplace I can.

I'm afraid that you're stuck unless you can convert the output to a generic file type, such a a PDF.

What you are going to need is a program that lets you "print" the character sheet into a PDF format. You can then save the resulting PDF file to your flash drive, and take it elsewhere to print it out.


I found a shareware program called CutePDF Writer, which works well for me for this task, but I'm sure there are other good ones out there, too.

You could also try the IPlay4E website, where they have a dnd4e character translater: iplay4e.appspot.com/


You upload your dnd4e character file(s) to the site, and you can see them from any Internet-connected PC later. If you can set it up correctly, it can even use your DDi information to show you all the information on the powers/feats/etc from the Compendium.


Or, as mentioned, you can use one of the many freeware/shareware PDF writers to "print" to PDF. I use one available from the SourceForge.net site. Wish I could remember the name/link for it.

If you can use it iPlay4E.com is fantastic, and dispite the obvious allusion to the iPhone it does work on other mobile devices, and has a "large screen" format that is even better if you have a notebook or laptop that you can take to games (with a live net connection).
