[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3389360, member: 3087"] Once a long time ago there were datasets for PCGen and they were availible under the fair use clause and everyone was happy. Then Code Monkey decided it would be a great business and offered one Gen Con to take the whole operation private. So then you only got to use PcGen for the books you'd bought if you paid Code Monkey a lot of money. Needless to say most people didn't want to pay another 100 bucks and the business dried up. After the business went away it was easy for WotC to just pull the plug. So, you'd think that you could, in fact, use PcGen to make characters for DnD. But, unless you're just planing on using the core books, you really can't. Which is a shame, but some people made money out of it so it's not all bad. Give up now. The time it takes you to mess around with the config files is far greater than the time it would take you to just work it out on a piece of paper. [/QUOTE]
