Message: <blockquote data-quote="johnnype" data-source="post: 3721804" data-attributes="member: 1944">Will it really do everything WotC is implying? I have my doubts. Will I really be able to create a dwarven 10th level ranger/ 15th level rogue with all his feats, skills, magic items and equipment and perhaps a template or two (if such things still exist in 4th edition) and have it all calculate correctly?  D&D is such a complex game that I don't know that a piece of software can accurately model everything I'd want it to. Core rulebooks, expansions and user created content (although I don't really care about the last)? Sounds like a tall order, at least to me. Admittedly my experience with computers and databases is limited so others may be better suited to discuss this with any sort of authority but from where I'm standing it looks like a program of this sophistication would require constant and heavy development. I foresee delays, complications and quite a few compromises. Unless of course the software is just a blank PC sheet that allows you to use drop down boxes to fill lines in without actually auto-calculating anything for you. Useless.I know there are a couple pieces of software out there that supposedly do this already but how well do they really work? Are they easy to use? How up to date are they? Do they have any significant bugs? Data sets, costs for conversion...I dunno...As much as I'd love to see it happen I am hesitant to get my hopes up. Perhaps the computer experts can step in here and convince me otherwise.</blockquote>
