ALL references to mechanics MUST be removed from Code to be compliant, so they go into the list files, which IS acceptable AND compliant. The code itself is merely a reader/interpreter of what it finds in the list files, so no hard coding of anything in the code itself. What does this mean? Well the Stats and Saves are FINALLY going to be fully in the list files so that people can not only change the names and add/remove stats, but you will be able to define EXACTLY what they each do. COMPLETE and TOTAL customization of stats! YAY! (This will also make it a LOT easier to work on non-D20 materials as well, THAT is definately a bonus as we DID have multiple conversations with non-D20 publishers at GenCon asking about PCGen Support!!!!)List Wise: A number of changes to make them easier to read, understand, convert to XML, etc will be done. More tags added, cleaner look and feel over all.As for what's missing? ALL the NON-SRD Wizards Material is gone. It will stay gone until/if we get permission to re-include it. We are looking at options, and yes, discussing this with Wizards to see how we can do so. And in regards to that, Wizards has been VERY cool and EASY to deal with about this, especially Anthony Valterra, the man sought US out to talk to us when he didn't need to.That's the short and skinny... expect the <WWF Announcer Voice> OFFICIAL PCGEN & WIZARDS OF THE COAST PRESS RELEASE SOON!!! </WWF Announcer Voice>.Mynex- #1 Evil Assistant to the PCGen Code Monkeys- List files & Documentation Silverback- RPG Reviews Editor & Reviewer</blockquote>
