Message: <blockquote data-quote="schekker" data-source="post: 6425260" data-attributes="member: 99368">Not to be too negative, but I don't see this home-brew 5e characterbuilder becoming available.Firstly, while you might be very proud of your achievement (and I agree, it is an achievement to be proud of), having one person writing something for the current available material is not the same as writing well scripts which can easily be maintained by a group of less talented (and far cheaper) people and which can easily be expanded to new material. If I were herolabs, I would be writing my own data-files, not using those of someone else, even if they were free. I might borrow a few bits if that was an option, but I doubt they will need that. Giving it for free would certainly not be enough for me. I would want at least a license to use the code any way I see fit, or even your copyright on it.Secondly, I don't see WotC using herolabs. It's U.I. is too technical. Don't get me wrong. I think herolabs is a great program, but it is not as intuitive to use as WotC's 4e characterbuilder. I haven't played with dungeonscape, but from what I saw it looked less threatening than herolabs.Thirdly, using herolabs would put Pathfinder on par with 5th edition, and I don't think Hasbro would like that. It would not be good for their branding.The only reason I can see WotC chosing for herolabs is if they are in full panic mode, like 5th edition is faltering because of lack of online support and they need to fix that hole now, so take whatever option is available. But I don't see them being in that position yet.Just my thoughts, and no, I'm not happy about them.</blockquote>
