[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 1310644, member: 5868"] Sent. You just need MS Excel to view it. (Oh, I forgot -- make sure you select "enable macros" when the Excel file opens.) [url=http://home.san.rr.com/blackbart/main.html] BlackBart's Heroforge 3.5[/url] is a free MS Excel spreadsheet that is used for character generation. It can handle a wide variety of tasks, and includes a lot of data. There are still a few bugs in it (mostly in the templates section at this point), but the programmer is great at refining and updating -- I seldom run into a meaningful error at this point. I use it for all my PCs and complex NPCs (those with high levels, multiple classes, or prestige classes -- I use etools for run-of-the-mill monsters and single-classed NPCs). Try it out; it's got a great quality-to-dollar ratio :) Prints out a great character sheet, too. Heck, just save a backup copy of the Strahd file and you can reset the spreadsheet to use for your own characters (or tweak up Strahd to your liking). I originally had Strahd as a Pale Master (Dragon 315 just made him a Nec 10, which is a straight translation of the original module, but is a little dull), but decided Eldritch Knight was more to my liking, due to his background as a conquerer (per the Book of Strahd in the module).
