[QUOTE="farscapesg1, post: 2724368, member: 15234"] The problem is that DM Genie doesn't have the datasets :( If it did, all would be good and my DM would be a very happy person. As it is, DM Genie is not at all "user friendly" for a non-programmer to enter data. Sure, if the options are already there you can point-and-click, but if they aren't (say the Glory Domain for example) it is a nightmare. Not to mention the lack of "houserules" options. Take the Glory domain for example. It isn't in DM Genie, and hasn't been included in the files on the Yahoo groups. Someone did the other feats out of Complete Divine, but not the Domains :\ So, the DM created it in the feats, but then it didn't show up when he tried to create my character. I tinkered with the software and found that you have to add the domain to the rules.txt file. Now the domain can be selected, but what about it's benefits? How does one script it to add +2 to my turn checks and +1d6 to the turning damage??? Now make it more difficult by the fact that we decided to use the variant turning rules from Complete Divine, in that a turning check causes 1d6 points of damage per cleric level to all undead within 30 feet, with a will save for half damage. Now, our rulling with the domain is tha the +2 turning check is applied as a +2 to the save DC and the +1d6 damage is just that, +1d6 above the cleric level (so 2d6 at 1st level). The damage isn't that important to the DM since I would roll the damage on a turning check, but the +2 to the Will DC could be. I guess I just expect too much :heh: [/QUOTE]
