[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 1108139, member: 6957"] I've been using PCGen for quite some time now. It is pretty good. Problems that can arise though include: Slowdowns, this usually means you need to cut back on the number of datasets you have running. I generally have the core books, SRD, Creative Mountain Games alternate spell names, Books of Eldritch Might, Seas of Blood, Quintessential Fighter and Rogue,and a converted data set for Iron Kingdoms, and have no problems with the speed. (Being Java it [i]will[/i] be slower on a PC than a native program, but it is fast enough for me.) Forgetting to transfer data over when a new version comes out (about once a week or so) can lead to a great deal of frustration. (In particular any Point buy schemes you have dreamed up, these don't get transfered over, you have to go in and port them over manually) Transferring data over without updating it can also lead to frustration. (There is an autoeditor to do the updating for you, just don't forget to use it.) If I make it sound hard to use I apologize, it really isn't hard to use at all, and I have had a great deal of fun using it. It is just... quirky. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
