[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1486547, member: 812"] There's no "perfect" Macintosh char-gen system. As some have noted, PCGen is clonky. I also find it slow and the interface just seems to go on holiday every now and then without warning. It can be very frustrating to use. That said, it's definitely the choice for full control and point-buy character generation. CrystalBall is very good at maintaining characters over time. It's frustrating to use for quick NPC generation -- mainly because getting it to provide you with a properly-formatted stat block is kind of a pain. I've been ragging on the developers to improve their stat block generation system for some time and a lot of progress has been made but it's still tedious. It does have a nice interface for generating new classes and so on. For creating monster stat blocks, you can't beat "StatBlockPaster" -- a Konfabulator widget (by me) that just lets you select a beastie and then paste the stat block into any document.
