[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 2913290, member: 363"] No, I don't. I see your point, but I don't think such a differentiation would help with the schism you see. What would help, I feel, is if WotC would develop a truly comprehensive software package that did most of the heavy lifting for players. Not just a character generator. I mean a package that could do all the calculating, from character creation to running combat, requiring a minimum of effort on the part of the players, and would also contain all the rules to the game for easy reference (and could be upgraded with newer releases). It could be either program that one would run on a computer, or that would be part of a dedicated device that is sold on its own. This device could be connected to those of the other players, including the DM, so as to make combats run quickly and smoothly and keep track of all that stuff that often bedevils players and DMs. Those who like all the number crunching could simply use the books alone or with some of the less comprehensive programs available now.
