[QUOTE="eloquentaction, post: 4570657, member: 70399"] I always take the time to credit the people that added to the project in my header files. (Only the coders see them, but only coders really need to, don't they?) That's all it takes to make most people happy. And... amazingly enough I have been toying with a .NET C# program that would take basic inputs from flat rule files and spit out a PDF character sheet as well as a set of power cards that are appropriate for your character (including customizing the math to match your stats). I scrapped that idea in favor of a new one... take the output of the DnDI Character Builder and then spit out a new PDF sheet(s) based on your character. At the same time, customize and then print out a set of power cards that had all the correct math and text based on the feats your character had selected. (A dwarf's Second Wind power card, for example, would mention that it was not a standard action.) It's my thought that WoTC won't be pissed off at a project that requires their product instead of replacing it. PCGen replaced them for version 3.5E and WoTC went after them, basically making them jump through Mickey Mouse hoops. That project is currently on hold until I get version 5 out the door, BUT... I would be much interested in collaborating with someone good at making PDF's for the output stage of this project. Interested? -- Hirahito [/QUOTE]
