06-25-04, 06:23 PM Ok, I ordered 3.5 today. I have 3.0, 2 PHBs, 2 MMs, and 1 DMG so I was not in a hurry to part with them.

The 3.0 PHB came with character software. The 3.5 apparentyl does not. What do you guys think of this?

06-25-04, 09:03 PM if you like to get software , just get the e-tools program. They have a 3.5 version out now.

Anyways .. I moved on to 3.5 from the start , but not a day goes by without me missing 2nd edition.

Just personal preference due to nostalgoia. That all. :)

06-26-04, 12:19 AM Etools has improved since Fluid put it out.

I use Etools and have input alot of houserules into it with any problems.

No software will ever be perfect especially for a game which is constantly changing.

Nobody can write a program to handle stuff which they have no knowledge of.

CodeMonkey has done an excellent job of correcting problems and improving the program.
