Fantasy Grounds has the complete 5e core rules and a character management feature for creating new chars if you're willing to pay for the 5e add-ons at $50 a pop.

I also have one remote player in my monthly 5e game that uses FG for managing his character and it seems to work well for him. Personally, FG never really scratched my itch. HL will much better match my needs when the community fills in the gaps in the SRD or when LWD secures a full license from WoTC. I know that many people, myself included, often buy software without doing a trial first and also skip over all the warning and license info. But I don't know how much more obvious LWD's warning could have been. I bought HL with the 5e SRD to support HL and to help LWD show WoTC that their is money to be made on making DnD 5e content available thorugh HL and RW.

Actually I got lucky. I play a dwarf Life Cleric with the acolyte background. So pretty much everything I need was already in the builder. I think only thing missing were a couple of spells.
I need to play around with it more, to make the special magic items that my dm has created. But I look at it, like the D20 system and Army Builder. They built the framework, and the community fills in the blanks, till they get the license or not. |

Having only used hero-lab with Pathfinder before, I was a little underwhelmed by the lack of content in the 5th edition package. I'm sure there will eventually be either fan made data-sets or official licensed material soon though.
I've read that some players have been able to add custom spells through the editor. I havent been able to find the "Spell" section. Am I missing something or is it tucked away in another tab somewhere? |

Most likely in the "Magic" tab of the editor.
Hero Lab Resources: Pathfinder - d20pfsrd and Pathfinder Pack Setup 3.5 D&D (d20) - Community Server Setup 5E D&D - Community Server Setup Hero Lab Help - Hero Lab FAQ, Editor Tutorials and Videos, Editor & Scripting Resources.

What I paid for when I bought the 5e license for Hero Lab was the core code. With that I could add the rest of what didn't come with SRD.
Many of us had the same idea. Many of us in the Hero Lab community have been adding stuff to the Core since it became available. It's not Lone Wolf's fault that WotC is so stingy with their licensing, or that they either create horrible Character Builders themselves, or that they chose lousy software builders to license the rights to when they finally do. Watch your back, Conserve your ammo, and NEVER cut a deal with a dragon! |
