Hi All!

This is my first post here and want to say hi!
Before I start, I'm sorry if there is another place to post this or submit my ideas to the power that be at Wizards of the Coast.  I've searched and haven't seen a comment section at all.

There are a couple things I would love to see with the adventurer's tools for D&D. 

First, in the monster builder, I love the holding pen that was recently added (or maybe recently found by me, hehe).  I, however, would like to be able to bring monsters back out of the pen to the focus area for modification and printing.  I haven't been able to do this, maybe there is a way, but I haven't figured it out.

Second, an NPC builder would be awesome!  I know it's not real difficult to make one, but to get a nice printed version I have had two different ideas, one is to make a char on the char builder, but not give feats or allt he powers and then modify the checks and bonuses for the NPCs level as described in the DM guide.  The ohter one was to build from scratch in the monster builder.  Took a lot of time.

Last, a map builder!  A simple grid to build on.  Walls, doors, traps, features, monster locations, etc. maybe something to note DCs for various things.  Right now I draw them on graph paper, which works pretty well.  Similar to what i see in dungeon magazine when people have drawn maps.  Which makes me wonder if there is a map editor somewhere that I'm not using?

Anyway, thank you!
