[QUOTE="Hurin70, post: 8246043, member: 6875491"] Note too that electronic character sheets can make character creation a lot faster than it used to be in Pen and Paper back in the Ancient Days. Things like racial stats and talents, professional skill costs, and culture ranks are literally done at the click of a button. For RMU, I've also outlined a bunch of 'templates' that are kind of like standard builds for each profession (or even somewhat like Training Packages for RMSS). This is made easier in RMU since all characters get the same amount of Development Points (60) to spend each level. So, I have a 'Fighter' template that has 2 ranks in several weapons, 2 in Body Development, 2 in maneuvering in armor, etc. If you don't want to buy your skills individually -- if for example you are new to the game and don't want to gimp yourself -- you can just take the standard build, at least at first level. All of that being automated then makes for very quick character creation. There are a number of player-made tools for doing that already, and Rolemaster's Electronic Roleplaying Assistant will have its own character creation and tracking tool read for RMU when it drops (they have to wait for the release of RMU before they add the RMU module to ERA).
