Any character generators that handle epic and divine characters?

[GameGuru4]

I'm looking for a character generator of some type that can handle epic level charactersr, and also characters with Divine Rank.

Any software like this exist? 3.0 is preferred, but I suppose 3.5 could work.

If no such software exists, I intend to write my own and make it available to everyone.

Thanks for the info.

eTools (at <www.codemonkeypublishing.com>) can do a pretty good job with epic-level characters, especially with v1.4 due out any time now. I don't know about divine characters though as I've never dealt with them.

I'm sure you'll also get good recommendations from other pieces of software also available (about which I know very few details), so you should be able to pick and choose what you like and you won't need to be writing anything yourself.

Ah, dang, I was almost sorta hoping that something was needed. I could use a good programming project.

My PCs are epic and divine, and as such I need both capabilities. I'd also like 3rd party data support, but I can enter stuff myself if need be.

Also, another big thing is price. I'm all about free stuff.

PCGen, a free application, is currently working on the RSRD, which includes epic support. And, as Davin already mentioned them, CMP is working on datasets for both PCGen and eTools. However, these datasets come for a price. Now, you can always create your own datasets for PCGen. The docs are helpful, and if you have any questions, you can go to List File Help, and folks there will try to help you out.

Does PCGen do Deities & Demigods support? Like, all the effects of Divine Rank, and all the Salient Abilities and such?

I need that functionality as well.

To the best of my knowledge, most, if not all, of the support for that book is there. However, that is a closed content book by WotC, and, as such, PCGen can't distribute datasets of that book.

PCGen is turning out to do basically everything I want. But there's one thing that miffs me.

I can't override the "no retroactive skill points from INT after 1st level", and I basically need to do this, since it's a house rule I use. I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to implement, and I can't find a workaround.

Poo.

Your best bet would be to go the PCGen main Y! group and ask there. Its an open group, so anyone can post. I don't know if you can do this, but there are people there that can and will help.

Yep, I've posted the question there, no response so far. I will just have to cross my fingers.

But I figured I'd post it here on ENB too just in case different people might see it.
