Originate - Cinematic Character Creator
Originate transforms the character creation process in Foundry VTT into a visual, cinematic experience. Designed specifically for Foundry VTT V13 and the DND5E system, it replaces the traditional spreadsheet-style setup with an immersive, step-by-step wizard.
Key Features
🎬 Cinematic Experience
Immersion begins before the first roll. originate delivers a modern, high-fidelity interface that bridges the gap between mechanics and storytelling. With a focus on visual clarity and evocative aesthetics, it ensures your players aren't just building stats—they are stepping into your world.
🚀 Native DND5E Integration
Built on the robust DND5E 5.2+ Advancement system, Originate works out of the box. It reads data directly from your compendiums. If your items (Classes, Races, Backgrounds) are set up with standard Advancements, they will work automatically—no complex configuration required.
🎨 Visual Enhancement
-Customizable Art: Set individual images for every Class, Subclass, Race, and Background.
-PHB Integration: If you have the `dnd-players-handbook` module installed, Originate automatically maps high-quality art for all standard content without any manual setup.

FAQ
Q: Why do the background assets in the demo look so simple?
A: To ensure copyright compliance, originate only uses SRD content for demonstrations. Once installed, it automatically integrates high-quality artwork from the PHB. Support for other modules will be released in future updates. You can also fully customize the background with any image you like.
Q: Is the configuration process complicated?
A: Not at all! You just need to select your preferred Compendium packs and character creation method in the module settings. Pro tip: Make sure to complete the configuration first, otherwise the interface will appear blank as it requires an active data source to display content.
Q: What versions does this support?
A: Originate is built for Foundry VTT V13and requires the DND5E system version 5.2.2 or higher.
Q: Do I need to configure everything manually?
A: No. You only need to simply configure which Compendium Packs you want to use as data sources. Originate handles the rest.
Q: Do I have to use the PHB or default icons for images?
A: No, you don't. You can set individual images for every class, race, and background. However, if you do use the `dnd-players-handbook` module, you get instant art mapping without any manual setup.
Q: Is there anything currently unfinished or missing?
A: Yes. Currently, Originate does not support multiclassing, nor does it appear during level-ups (it's for initial creation only). I believe these features will be addressed in the near future
Q: Does it support Homebrew content?
A: Absolutely. As long as your homebrew items use the standard DND5E Advancement system, Originate will display them correctly.
Q: Where do I report bugs?
A: You can report bugs on my Discord server issue tracker.
Thank you for your support!
