[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 2127937, member: 1196"] Hmmm, I [I]think[/I] it was something like 5.2. It was whatever was current around November-December 2004. Edit: It isn't so much response time that I recall having a problem with most recently, but rather the interface being awkward to work with in some respects and not terribly intuitive. One thing that sticks in mind -- and I know this isn't the primary focus of PCGen -- was that trying to add anything like a feat or a PrC was like pulling teeth. I've heard a number of people say that they prefer to just edit data files because its easier. That may be true if you're familiar with the files and what goes in them, but if you aren't, it's a real pain. I suppose I could go into detail about what I remember but I'll let it suffice to say that my impression of the interface was that it was like exploring some kind of labrynth trying to find the right way to do various things.
