Message: <blockquote data-quote="pogre" data-source="post: 2803553" data-attributes="member: 6588">NPC DesignerPublisher: RPGAttitudeA few months ago I posted a query on ENWorld asking if anyone had a program that converted stat blocks to the newer DMG II format. Someone suggested NPC Designer by RPGAttitude. I bought the Gold Version and I must say it is the best money I have spent on RPG tools in the last few years. It does so much more than create stat blocks - it has become my computer tool of choice for all d20.I hate stat block creation – it is one of the things that slows down my adventure creations. I am happy to report the drudgery of long stat blocks no longer interferes with my fun. NPC Designer is an amazing tool every DM should own. NPC designer has a choice of number different stat block styles – so if the DMGII style is not for you there are plenty of other choices.When I purchased the program I installed it and the creator quickly sent me a key to register it. I had some installation problems on my old cpu at work and I visited RPGAttitude’s forums and was able to quickly fix the problem and the program was up and running. Further, when I went home to install it on a second cpu the company almost immediately responded with another registration key. The program is constantly expanding and the creator actively seeks user input. RPGAttitude has sought to make the NPC Designer an indispensable tool and they have succeeded. If your campaign is headed for the upper levels, like mine is, having a program that can crank out a high level wizard is awesome. What’s more th program makes logical feat and skill selections for the NPC – no more strange or useless feats and spells that the DM needs to replace.The other feature I like about the program is the ability to input almost any data you already have for a NPC and allow the program to “randomize” the rest for you. It is very easy to cut and paste out of the generator, which is a huge plus for DMs like me who write everything out.The support for NPC Designer is second to none. The designer answers all calls for help quickly and there is a great help forum on the RPGAttitude site. This company cares deeply about service and that’s amazing considering the ridiculously low price of this software. The designer also issues nearly daily updates and improvements to the program that are very easy and quick to install.I always like to give a downside to a product when I do a review – I honestly cannot come up with any for this fine product.</blockquote>
