So eTools is really useless, in our newest campaign, most of the PC's are playing as classes and races that cannot be entered into eTools. I am looking for a more homebrew friendly alternative. Thanks in advance.
RPGxplorer? Herolab? OpenRPG?
The database from e-tools is an access database, if you have any programming skills, you can make your own front end and new content.
In particular, what is useless about e-tools? You can add your own homebrew to it. What are these classes and races that won't work?
To my knowledge, it's tedious to make your own races unless you know how to do templates, which I do not. And to make your own classes is basically impossible. EDIT: I was able to make a template that will work as the race I would like to place as in eTools, however making a class seems not possible?
I would go PCGen, the software is great and it's not so hard to create a new race or a new class, they have quite a few tutorials for that and a nice group to help with questions about those things.
Also, Build a Race in eTools is very annoying and it is faster to just make templates. Creating classes via House Rules is legitimately impossible, believe me I tried. I download ETHelper and it allows to me make new classes and such and it worked pretty well though.
