![]() $30 to start out for Core book and ALL PLAYER MATERIAL FROM ALL ADVENTURE PATHS (that's the part everyone forgets to mention.). The cost to get into Hero Lab is managable. They have the (majority of a) book ready to go on release day. Hero Lab being licensed by Paizo is now my go-to software. ![]() ![]() If I did partial stat outs and guesstimated at anything that came up unexpectedly I would not use it either. I still do it by hand out of habit, but for higher level encounters I often go to herolab, especially when I am short on time. If I were only playing, I doubt I would have ever gotten past the CRB, but as a GM it helps a lot. And since I'm usually trying to manage things for my whole group (as GM), this is a HUGE time-saver. I can't speak for the OP, but for me, the advantage of using a character generator (or character manager, as it were) such as PCGen is that it gives me an itemized list of things to do, so I don't forget about adding a favored class bonus, what level I get new feats/abilities, etc, and it scales things as I go along. My question is why do you want a character generator? If the main draw is being able to have all the resources at your immediate disposal and convenience (which would be the draw for me and was why I was in love with 4E character generator program before Wizards ruined it), you can get the same effect with sites like d20pfsrd.
