Tell me about eTools ...

[thalmin]

Ok thanks guys. And yes by "core" i mean the core "basic" set, just like i said.

Do you know what the 'small things' in the "basic core" set that need to be 'ironed out' still are?

Thanks again

Peace

One of the small things is the inability to create your own classes using just E-Tools. But Davin's ETHelper (a free download) takes care of that.

For what it's worth, I use it extensively in my campaign, which is populated by races of my own, and classes of my own. I guess one problem I have is there is no way to give a one-time bonus to skill points without the program trying to take them back at the next level. Nor can you raise the ceiling on allowed ranks for a skill. (I do play by some different rules.)

ETools is a wonderful resource which I use extensively to prepare for any and all of my D&D games. I have purchased several addons and have found them to be well-supported and mostly accurate. Those that arent accurate at first are quickly fixed and readily available from the website.

Ok thanks thalmin, sounds like the same problems from the old days. Not much change then on that in all this time. I remember Davins ET-Helper well.
Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. Good to see names I remember from the old ET days to.

Peace

At this point I would pass on E-Tools and wait for the RPG Toolkit, due this convention season.

I just got one question...

How the heck do you install a new dataset?! #$^#$%@#$%#

Once a dataset is purchased you are email a link to download the dataset. Once downloaded all you have to do is unzip the download and run the executable.
