You can of course add rules for automatically populating hit dice, initiative, and armor class. These vary with class and feats so this is left up to you if you wish.

print()<<Bardic Inspiration>> Bardic Inspiration. You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the GM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.
<<By Popular Demand>> By Popular Demand. You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a noble’s court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.
This bit isn’t automated yet, copy and paste from a wiki or elsewhere as you get features you’d like to list here. I’ve left two features here as examples, ‘Bardic Inspiration’ (from the Bard class) and ‘By Popular Demand’ (from the Entertainer background).

Run the above source block when opening the file before exporting.
For now you must fill in the lists and matrices according to your classes table in the player’s handbook. An example for Bards is provided, there are comments in the sections indicating what bits are Bard specific.
If a particular feature, feat, or other rule modifies your stats you can modify these functions to reflect that. There is a comment with an example for the Bard ‘Jack of All Trades’ feature. This will require a bit of elisp, but allows for straightforward homebrew.
