Stat Block Software? What to use?

[Ninja-to]

I want to make up some stat blocks for NPC's found in some of the modules I've bought. I'd just like to have them ready in front of me and be able to adjust them (I'm using 3.0 but converting to 3.5). What is the best, aka EASIEST and cleanest stat block software for making up these NPC? I really don't like E-Tools very much because there's very little you can customize on it. It's fine for rolling up a random NPC but I want something I can edit more directly.

IMO this is the best character sheet software there is.

It is an excel based one and is pretty easy to customize.

The character sheet it generates is also one of the best laid out ones I've ever seen.

Have you checked PCGen? It's open source and free. It has a lot of options.. perhaps it is too complex for your need? Just a thought.

PCGen downloads

PCGen overview page, with a lot of relevant info

It is very customizable - you can make new content without too much difficulty .. between existing in-program editors, and the fact it is not too hard to learn to code new classes/etc with a little comparing to existing things. Plus they do have a rather active mailing list where one can ask questions.

Of course, it is possible that it isn't your cup of tea..

Another online character generator

I like this one to build (N)PCs:

Javascript 3.5 Character Generator Lite

or the version with all the bells and whistles:

Javascript D&D 3.5 Character Generator
