[QUOTE="gariig, post: 165654, member: 1120"] Hey, I beat DMFTodd about his own program!!!! I will tell you arguably the best peice of software out there, DM's Familiar!!!! It's a database program that, information storeage, and combat board program. There are currently databases for Feats, Spells, Monsters, PCs, Skill, Weapons, and Rules. Most WoTC books are already typed in for you, the SRD(PHB, DMG, and most of the MM), Splat books, Psionics Book, FRCS, most of MoF, LoD, etc. Pretty helpful if you use a lot of books and need quick references. The Combat board is pretty nifty you can add any PC or Monster from their respective databases and it can roll HPs for you, init, orders them up, and you can add damage them and it will roll their damage. Pretty nifty and useful, but it doesn't allow for special affects(Yet). Such as casting Bless, Aid, etc you have to remember to add them in(just like normal) Finally, the Codex Tree. It's kind of like typing into Word but you can add it into hierarchial groups, you can also add nodes to point to feats and spells in a database or you can put a whole encounter under a node and drop that node into theh combat board. Really worth checking out and buying later on at $20! Just remember its meant to be free form, Todd is working on a good program not a good generator :) Also, these aren't necassarily "in game" but if you check the electonics aid page on ENWorld there is a Experience spread sheet and a Combat calculator spread sheet that are pretty useful. Also, Steve Mulheir(sp)'s spread sheets for spells and character generation are good(I only use the spell one personally). If you need more, I can post more :) Gariig [url]http://www.paladinpgm.com/dmf/index.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
