Well, I got my copy of eTools, in mail yesterday, and I think it is a very nice program.

It's totally customizable in the spells and equipment area, and making a character is painless.

However, there are still problems. For example, the cleric domain powers seem to be very buggy. The Knowledge domain should make all Knowledge skills class skills, but they are still cross-class. Also the monster generator is not very good at all. In fact, I'd call the monster generator a waste of time. You can advance monsters, but only so far. Also, the only dragons included were adult dragons. If you wanted something smaller or bigger, well you're out of luck.

I still think it's well worth the purchase, and I hope that they will patch out the bugs and incomplete features.

I bought it from SVGames, the company that bought Wizards' web business. It's pretty hard to find in gaming shops around here due to the insane price on it (store pays $30 + shipping, retail price is $34.99... do the math ) It just doesn't make much sense for retailers to carry something they make almost no profit on. If they order 4 and don't sell one, they're in the hole.

Sorry for the long response too I just moved. Now Kloie can't stalk me! *cackles*

That reminds me to start rolling up practice characters for 3e with that neato disk that came in the back of the PHB.

Those sheets are fucking impossible to extract except to print them on paper.
