[QUOTE="cptg1481, post: 315626, member: 5360"] [b]Character concepts not Flexible either[/b] Since I am from the pre-PC generation and somewhat handicaped when it comes to these things, take this for what its worth. If I'm just not using it properly please tell me how to fix my issue. I have a 4th lvl 1/2Orc Ranger in a campaign and was so excited to get into the e-tools to make him "official", but I was hamstrung from the get go by several flaws. 1. When I gen up a 3rd level ranger it automatically selects my feats and skills for me, no prob I think...I can just take their pics out and put mine in right? Nope... They give me 6 ranks in hide, move silently, and a couple more things. The problem is I can't seem be able to remove more than one point from any of these skills. It's simply not an option...I guess they think that's what I need or something. Also for feats our DM lets 1/2 Orcs take scent...fine I just make it up from scratch and select it. This works fine, however, It thinks that I should have no choice about my other feat and makes me have Point Blank Shot, it won't let me switch it out for another, it is simply stuck there. So needless to say I have parked the CD and given up all hope of getting past this mess. Also we use the suplements Masters of the Wild along with the others too, but alas they are not there. I wonder why....my guess is so that they can sell me them one at a time for fifteen bucks a piece later,...wrong I already got ripped off for 35 big ones thank you very much. This is my opinion only, like I said I may be so unskilled at PC use that I limit the program myself. If so please help me get past this! :eek: [/QUOTE]
