[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 15621, member: 111"] PCGenView is great. It starts with a character export/import from PCGen (a great PC Management program). See: FOR PCGENVIEW: [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenview/[/url] (discussion group) and [url]http://www.pcgenview.com/[/url] (the files) as well as FOR PCGEN: [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/[/url] (discussion group) and [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcgen/[/url] (the files) It is designed as a deskside playing aid. Features: Most importantly - an extremely responsive and capable developer. Plus (a partial list): Automatic calculation of Flat footed and Touch Armour class. Ability to adjust amour class temporarily i.e. (Mage Armour). Ability to adjust saving throws temporarily. Display basic Spell information. Add/Subtract experience points. Add/Subtract Gold. Single screen that contains most of the information need for combat. Beeps when current HP's go below 1. Show count of Number of wounds taken, before being cured. Multi Spell Casting Classes. Use Palm buttons to get to Stats and Combat Pages quickly. Colour support. Show Domain Information and Powers. Supports Multiple Spell Casting classes. Roll Saving Throws. Edit in Games Notes. Ability to Delete Characters. Roll skill checks. Character Stat's adjustments. Clerical Turn/Rebuke Rolls. Barbarian Rage Attacks. Attack Rolls, with critical Reroll. Damage Roll, with Critical Multiplier. Calculate Jump Distances. Spell Learning for Clerics and Wizards. Counts Number of Spells per level cast per day. Reset Prepare Spells, and start of New Day. Attribute Saving Throws rolled. In Program Help. Customizable Dice Roller. Character Movement Calculations, inf Feet and Miles or Meters and Kilometers. Options External File for Spell/Feat/Skill Descriptions. Equipment Split into Types. Character Height/Weight converted to Metric, if Metric Selected. I use this now [b][i]while playing[/i][/b] and find it invaluable. Both these programs work well, but are most definately development projects and change almost weekly. PCGen is going to go to "production" in a month or two, and then will be stable. It will take longer for PCGenView to do the same - mostly because we keep asking for more features! (Yes, we are very greedy users - especially for a free product!) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
