There is also an X beside each item, making deletion quick and easy. If you find that functionality annoying, you can also turn it off. For instance, if you hover over the ? beside a feat, you get the SRD text about that particular feat. For instance, if you hover your cursor over the ? beside an item like a skill, feat, weapon or armor, the program displays information about that item in a pop-up box. PCGen’s interface is tabbed in a somewhat similar fashion to Hero Lab’s, but I don’t think it is quite as easy to navigate. PCGen loads more slowly than Hero Lab for me (I assume because it is written in Java). Finally, the interface keeps a sort of summary of your character’s stats in a side panel, even while you navigate through the various tabs. The fonts are also a nice size for my aging eyes and the tabbed layout is easy to navigate. The interface, with dark blue background and white characters, looks good - even on my laptop. Hero Lab loads quickly and the interface is clean. Any comparisons that I make between Hero Lab and PCGen will reference that version of the program. I am currently running PCGen 5.10.1 in addition to Hero Lab. I have used several other character creation aids for D&D in the past, including spreadsheets, E-Tools and PCGen. The program installed and ran just fine on my crappy HP Celeron laptop. The system requirements for the program state that you need a Windows PC with at least 64 meg of ram and 16 bit color. The price includes a full year of support and updates, as well as access to Lone Wolf's forums.

You can download the full version of Hero Lab for free and then unlock the program's complete features for a cost of $29.95. It currently only supports the d20 System, but plans are underway for it to support Mutants & Masterminds, RuneQuest and White Wolf's World of Darkness games. Hero Lab is the name of Lone Wolf Entertainment's character creation software for use with tabletop RPGs.

However, I did not have the opportunity to download the update and review the changes in time for this review. I understand that V1.0i introduces many enhancements to the program, including some monstrous races, NPC classes and other changes. This review is based on V1.0h of Hero Lab. NOTE: Per my request, the kind people at Lone Wolf Entertainment provided a free Hero Lab license for me to use in this review.
