[QUOTE="merton_monk, post: 604019, member: 4361"] A lot of ETools users have found Davin's ETools Helper to be a great, um, help. :) ETools Helper makes adding stuff to the database quite easy, and it makes sharing files (like the splat books) possible as well. I'm not sure what all splatbooks have been made into files for use with ETools, but I'm sure someone here can post a link to the site where they have been gathering them. TwinRose's CampaignSuite is for sale (i.e. not free) and includes a lot more than just a character generator, though if all you want is a character generator, I think that portion of it is free. RolePlayMaster is also for sale and does more than just character generation. I'm not sure of the price nor if there's any kind of free 'trial period' of if it's character generator portion is free. I've heard of various excel character sheets where you can type in the info and its all updated for you, other than that I'm not aware of any other character generators. Oh, there's always Jamis Buck's nifty generator, but that was only for the races/classes/etc in the PHB. Did he ever include more? I know he was recently talking about getting back into it again, and his generator had a working connection to PCGen. It'd be nice if he updated it for use with more material and updated the connection to PCGen. :) Oh - btw - what exactly did PCGen get wrong? I've never known a piece of software to be without bugs, but I like to be given the chance to fix whatever is wrong with any software I write. :) Bryan McRoberts Code Monkey Publishing, Co-Founder ([url]www.codemonkeypublishing.com[/url]) Benevolent Dictator of PCGen (pcgen.sourceforge.net) [/QUOTE]
