Could you build this?
Partial Character sheet UI and PDF export are buildable, but the rules content for licensed RPG systems is proprietary data that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: Build the sheet UI in a web or desktop framework, with PDF generation via pdf-lib or a similar library. Rules automation (calculations, progression, and spell lists) needs a structured rules engine. Licensed rulebook content must be obtained through license agreements, which is the real barrier, not the code.
