Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majoru Oakheart" data-source="post: 309868" data-attributes="member: 5143">Back to the original topic.  I have to agree.  I'm on the development team for PCGen (even though I have yet to do any meaningful work on the project...I worked on early LST files which eventually became obsolete).  I don't own E-Tools, but I got a chance to use it.  It doesn't even half half of the functionality that PCGen does, and it is much more expensive.PCGen CAN add multiple templates, to any race/class combination.  It allows you to make your own templates that do whatever you want, in fairly easy, text format without any 3rd party tools at all.  If you download all of the LST files from previous versions of PCGen, you can still have almost all of the prestige classes, feats, spells, etc from all of the WOTC books, and some 3rd party books as well.It is true that the first "release" version of PCGen did get almost all of the books other than the core books removed, partially due to small bugs in some of them, and mostly due to the fact that we only included LST files for books that we had received explicit permission from the copyright holders to include.  We are in the process of seeking that permission for the rest of the books we have LST files for.However, even with the limited feature set that the "release" version of PCGen had, it still has more features than E-tools.  I was expecting great things, and I would have loved to be able to stop reading the PCGen mailing list every week to see if a specific bug was fixed or a specific feature added.  However, it seems that those things are more likely to be added to PCGen than E-Tools.I'm glad I haven't bought E-Tools, because it's not worth the money.I'd also like to say that the proceeding was purely my opinion, and does not represent the opinion of the PCGen development team or Merton Monk.Majoru Oakheart</blockquote>
