Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dausuul" data-source="post: 5024502" data-attributes="member: 58197">The following are the things I want out of the DM toolset:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Monster builder, of course.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Encounter builder, allowing the DM to set an XP budget and fill the budget with monsters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Treasure manager, allowing the DM to assign treasure parcels to encounters and quickly select suitable loot, as well as review a summary of all loot handed out to date.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Map maker.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skill challenge designer, incorporating all the latest guidelines and errata.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Campaign encyclopedia, allowing the DM to create new entries for NPCs, locations, artifacts, organizations, and so forth. It should include automatic hyperlinking for ease of use, and each entry should have "public" (visible to players) and "private" (DM-only) sections. The DM should have the ability to publish the encyclopedia on a WotC server, where the players can review the public sections at their leisure.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All of the above, except possibly the encyclopedia, should be designed to be as print-friendly as possible. Ideally, I should be able to design the whole adventure in DM Tools, hit the "print" button, grab the pages out of the printer, and head off to the game. (Also, please remember that not everybody has a color printer.)</li> </ul></blockquote>
