They can break apart.. Go seperate ways.. There is nothing tying them to the product in a way they can't stop supporting - that if it is in fact their day job, they will 'have' to support it.It was advice, again, not an argument.  I'm sorry to see you feel it is.  The point is that when you are 'shopping' or looking at various products, see if they support non-standard BAB tables.  Maybe you need Prestige Races, or something like it.  Maybe you need dual-damage codes...Not sure that you did, but I am not personally convinced that it is adaptable to 3rd party products.I've seen this technique in other software packages in the past, and typically, it is frowned upon by the development community.  People want their windows programs to look like windows.Some DMs don't use DM screens.  Some don't use adventure modules.  Some don't even use maps.  They're tools.  Time will tell, I have't seen it, and I try not to judge anything before trying it.  I'm certainly not convinced it will be the 'be-all-end-all'.  I can only hope that the RPG customer base doesn't determine it to be, because competition breeds quality in the market place.</blockquote>
