[QUOTE="daplunk, post: 7710642, member: 6778883"] Yeah but only because they specifically don't want to call out that they are not designing this to compete with the VTT market. You only need to ask yourself a few questions to confirm that this product is not designed for the VTT market. Can you create characters in the VTT? Can you manage the characters in the VTT? Can you manage combat in the VTT? Can you look up spells and abilities in the VTT? and the important one... Do you NEED to create your character and manage your character in the VTT for the combat automation to work? The answer is yes for Fantasy Grounds and mostly yes for Roll20 with a yes to follow as soon as they can finish rolling out the 5e official content. Which means the only reason the VTT crowd would even remotely need this application is if they want access to their characters outside of the VTT game or they are not satisfied with the ability to look up information inside of the VTT solution. Sorry but this tool is very clearly aimed and designed for the players not using a VTT.
