[QUOTE="redrick, post: 7710170, member: 6777696"] The Monster Builder for the 4e tools was worth the subscription alone. Being able to quickly hop onto my computer and print out an index card for each monster (pulling straight from the complete set of official monsters) I planned to have on deck for an adventure saved thumbing through books at the table or having to copy a bunch of monster abilities down every week. Plus, I could quickly modify monsters to fit my particular needs. A tool like that for 5e would be worth the price of admission for me. Character generators are less essential for 5e than 4e, as there are far fewer feats to copy down and fiddly modifiers to calculate, but, hey, if a digital tool makes it easier to copy down the full text of feats and features when making characters, this could be useful for the right kind of table. And, again, thinking of the DM, character generators are a great tool when you want to come up with a bunch of pre-gens for a one-shot game with new players. I know there are other tools out there making use of the SRD, but if this one works well and comes with the more essential monster tools, I'm all over it. I look forward to the beta.
