[QUOTE="caudor, post: 510115, member: 8367"] [b]Hum, good questions[/b] I was wondering these same questions myself. I like eTools a lot, but had to resort to PCGen when two of my players wanted to play Psions. --that's not to imply there is anything wrong with PC Gen, by the way. Of course, I could have used the paper and pencil method, but I'm selectively lazy (and short on time). That's why I bought eTools in the first place. So when the revised rules do come out, I'm wondering if I'll have to seek out PCGen or some other tool yet again? Will we? I for one hope WotC pulls something cool out of the bag at GenCon. I trust that eTools will eventually be improved and expanded, but I wonder how the expansion will evolve before and after the release of the revised rules in July? Will an expansion that includes the revised material (or even older material like Psonics) be available in 2003? I own the Psionics Handbook. I own Epic Level Handbook. I own all the splatbooks. Heck, I buy everything WotC publishes. I simply wish I could make better use of eTools without the labor of data additional entry. I bet there many folks see the potential of eTools, but also feel confined by its current limitations. The questions that come to my mind: Is expansion of eTools something WotC really intends to do? If so, is it reasonable to expect that an character generator can ever keep up with printed publications? [/QUOTE]
