[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 367584, member: 758"] ripped from yahooboards.. We have worked closely with Wizards of the Coast Inc. to make sure that they are satisfied that PCGen is, as of PCGen 4.0.0, D20 and OGL compliant. Due to compliance with these licenses we've removed random stat generation and random starting gold generation We've also removed the DM Tools tab (they'll be back in some format, we're kicking ideas around, but we wanted to focus more on PCGen's character generation and maintenance features). We've also added a lot of flexibility - like the ability to define your own stats and checks. The interface is a bit sleeker and we're constantly looking for ways to improve performance. You can right-click on an item in the "Available" table in the Inventory tab to "Customise" it (make a normal item a magical one or just change its size). Anyone wanting to use the "print" button will need the pdf library at [url]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pcgen/pdf.zip[/url] and unzip it into your PCGen's lib directory (those are the 4 files PCGen will indicate are missing if you try to print without having downloaded that libarary). Here's the list of everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is available at [url]http://pcgen.sourceforge.net[/url] , and the main discussion group is at [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen[/url] . Be sure to download at least the first two parts of PCGen... pcgen400_part1of3.zip and pcgen400_part2of3.zip. Please download both of these files! There's also pcgen400_part3of3.zip which is the complete documentation. We've got some OS-specific installs of PCGen to help those who have trouble installing the generic version. At [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate%20PCGen%[/url] 20Releases/ you will find a list of these releases which you can use if you have trouble with the version you find here. Please note that there alternate versions are updated by users, so there may be some time lag between when an official release comes out and when the alternate OS-specific release is ready.
