[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 3194502, member: 5100"] Agreed. I'm not even remotely interested in an online character generator. Heck, one of my players does his chargen on a PC w/o Internet access. What are my minimum requirements? - customizable -- I muck with the rules a lot. If I can't jack with the datasets and hand them out to my players, forget it. This includes things like adding/deleting classes, feats, skills, and spells as well as spell points, armor as DR, and other oddball bits. - multicampaign support -- We have multiple GMs, sometimes with multiple campaigns each. And each campaign has a different set of rules, depending on setting, DM, and theme. - localized -- I want my custom datasets under [u]my[/u] control. - monster data -- I advance monsters a lot. 'Nough said. - combat tracker -- I've lived w/o one. Never again. PCGen is the only app that I've found that does that. Sure, it's got some warts, but it's still well beyond anything I've found. If WotC can do better, then I'll happily pay money for their product. If not, then I won't. If they intend to make an online generator to be the only "authorized" source, then I hope it fails badly. Honestly, the idea ticks me off. [/QUOTE]
