Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vascant" data-source="post: 3270040" data-attributes="member: 13927">Actually that is caused from a programmer not handling a situation the program encountered and has nothing to do with an Exception Based System.  As quite a few people who develop d20 applications have stated, one of the biggest problems with d20 is the fact that at any given moment a publisher can release material that will detail rules which break the current rule.   So instead of trying to handle every last rule why not just assume that all rules are breakable.In truth I think WotC is only part of the problem, the industry itself takes the rest of the credit.  People assume WotC should make things work better for software and yet no other publisher does it either?  If you go by numbers, you see very few people actually getting involved in software projects.  The excuse you are not a programmer does not hold water because there are tons of other jobs relating to software development that you could lend assistance.    I will be honest, most coders make the worst testers especially when concerning something they have developed themselves.  We know how to work with the program.  This is why I put Evolution into user hands months ago, even before remotely usable.  These users have guided the interface, functionality and even the test tools to make sure calculations are correct.  So if you think you deserve better software, then do something about it.. get involved in a project.  Doesn't have to be mine, can be PCGen or Redblade but the point is simple.. do something to help move software forward and in productive direction.</blockquote>
