[QUOTE="Arnix, post: 332483, member: 5521"] I have to say that I like PCGen. Of all the competition that I have tried, it is the best of them. That said, it is also constantly changing. Some changes are improvements, some changes are annoying. Example: Change in gui is good, removal of lst files for books I own is bad, but request by WoTC. More changes are coming. Currently, lst files are tedious to create. Plans that I have heard/read are that PCGen is in the process of developing a xml version of the lst files. This means that creation will be a little easier and importing data from other applications will be simpler (E-Tools has an XML export/import as do one or two others). There are also plans to create a lst file generator. You add the classes and feats and ... and the application will generate the lst file for you. No more having to open the lst file and type a bunch of extraneous and confusing tag info. You will have a gui interface that you can enter fielded data. Currently PCGen is not without flaws (is any non-trivial software?), but it is getting better. Hope this helps, Arnix (tm) [/QUOTE]
