3E – Sourceforge D&D Character Creator

Sourceforge.net is a very large directory of open source applications ranging from communications, to gaming tools, to network administration.

Despite the existence of 4th edition, there is still a strong following for version 3.5 in the Dungeons and Dragons community.

Pros

Cons

Overall, this is a fair D&D character creator. If you need a quick character with no special out of the ordinary features, this will do the job.

3.5 – The Pathology Guy D&D Character Creator

Pros

Cons

Overall, this is a decent and thorough free 3.5 D&D character creator, though a bit overwhelming and jumbled looking.

4e – The Pathology Guy Character Creator for D&D

This D&D character creator is a lot like the 3.5 D&D character creator from the same source.

Pros

Cons

Overall, this is a decent D&D character creator, if it doesn't crash.

4e – WotC’s Character Builder

This D&D character creator has it all. The term 'You get what you pay for' will never ring more true as it does in this case.

Pros

Cons

This D&D character creator is by far the best I've found, if you can afford the D&D Insider subscription, which if you're into gaming is also well worth it.
