[QUOTE="Morik, post: 393138, member: 4235"] Actually I gave E-Tools a 'C' as most of the people, I think. And I believe that's what E-Tools is all about - it's an average product (for now, but that could be easily change into a 'A' Product, IMHO). The fact I grade it to C is not based mostly on the features of E-Tools itself, but of the lack of user support from Fluid. Take a middle-sized Computer Game Company or even a huge one like Electronic Arts. They all (maybe there are some exceptions) are trying to bring out a patch asap after releasing their software. This is considered to be standard (and E-tools brought out a software and they invested time like Blizzard for Warcraft - almost ;-) May I miss something but Fluid didn't bring out a patch or something else so far, correct? And now to the comparison of PCGen and E-Tools: In my opinion E-Tools has strength and weaknesses and PCGen too. I'm using PCGen right now instead of E-Tools. Why? Well... because PCGen were first out (long first out before E-Tools) and I'm now used to it. For me it's easy and fast to use. There are some fields which E-Tools (IMHO) does better than PCGen, for instance the monster advancement. I find it faster and easier than in PCGen. What I'm missing in E-Tools is the lack of Prestige Classes and IN PARTICLUAR the Campaign World 'Forgotten Realms'. I'm playing with the realms since it came out. It's like my youth of Roleplaying since I first rolled the dice for damage. Now PCGen doesn't longer support FR and the Wotc Supplements (this is sad but not all is lost for me, hehe)!! So my 'C' grade refelects that fact too: I'm missing all the supplements, campaign Worlds and such of WOTC products and before I forget it: The fantastic Dragon Magazine. What I would like to see for istance wourld be a monthly add on with Dragon Magazine Prestige Classes, Magic Items and so on. The same for new supplements (and old ones of course) etc.. I knew this is like spending a wish from those rare 'Rings' but hey, if I would have one then maybe I would wish for it ;-) Eric [/QUOTE]
