Hey, guys!
I was thinking, here...and that's always a bad thing....if there were any player aids out there that would help with running a character -during- the game.
Some examples, off the top of my head:
Inventory management - show me what I'm carrying and where I'm carrying it. I think the old Core Rules did this -wonderfully-. Even better if the tool is aware of bags of holding, and changes my characters 'carried weight' appropriately.
Basic capability for generating magic items and the like, so I can add them to my character in almost-real-time while playing.
Show me my equipped weapons. I like the E-tools character sheet. It'd be even better if I could, say, click on a weapon entry, and have the tool automatically roll attack, damage, crit rolls, etc, and spit out all that in an easy to read format.
Ditto for spells. Track my Caster level, show me my known/memorized spells, and let me click on them to cast; automatically roll for CL checks, to-hit, and damage.
Let me click on skills and get a skill roll automatically.
Is there -anything- out there like this, even if you have to pay for it? I keep my laptop at the table to do inventory and notes with ANYWAY, if I could do this with a reasonably competent interface, it'd be lovely.
Also, is there a downloadable HTML SRD with good bookmarks/pictures out there anywhere? That'd also make things lots easier.
Thanks guys!
