A few suggestions

First off.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :D
(Words cannot describe how thankful I am for your simple power creator.)
So, in order to show my thanks, here are the suggestions I can provide to make your creator as good as possible.
1) You most likely already know this, but the PHB uses some sort of bronze color instead of gray. I hope it would be possible to find that color.
2) The "Hit" and "Effect" lines should not both be colored when you don't have a "Miss" line between them. Instead, the Effect line should be white.
3) I wish there was some way to add an attack modifier to the ability attribute such has how Sure Strike is "Strength+2 vs AC".
4) Can you make a tutorial on how to export/compile html? It says I've made an error every time I try to do it.
Other than that, your power creator is everything I wanted. I'll be sure to tell all my friends about it! ;)

No worries Arlen. I'm glad you like the tool. :)
1) This has been addressed for the 4e Power Toolkit. I originally had a gradient like the PHB, but it was an image and obviously makes the resulting HTML less portable. Now it's just a solid block of colour, a slightly lighter shade of the bronze to aid readability.
2) This is mostly addressed for the 4e Power Toolkit. I may have to do a little more work on this, but it gets it right most of the time. The problem is detecting when certain properties are active for the power (Miss, Hit, Effect, Special) and making sure the background colours alternate.
3) One of the first features I added to the 4ePT. It does -10 to +10, which should addresses the needs of most.
4) I've added some help documentation to the 4ePT. It has export functions for text, HTML and PDF, and it'll all be explained to the user.
Again, thanks for the interest and feedback. I'm hoping the 4ePT will answer most of the problems with the 4ePC.

Hi again. I am glad that I could help. Here a few more things I have noticed so far:
1) You are unable to add "Upgrade to 2[W] at 21st level" below powers. You probably already know that, but with everything you have to keep track up, something small like that (which only appears in 1st level powers) could easily slip by.
2) I finally managed to get the compiler to work, but I noticed that if you attempt to compile the folder without first loading up one of the powers to be compiled, the compiler will cut off "burst" and "blast" from the target section of powers. For example, "Each creature in burst" becomes "Each creature in".
3) Is this the right forum to be posting in? I know you already have a forum for by power creator, but it seemed like this is the place to post.
PS: Starmanjr powers! ;D

Yep, this is the right forum!
1) This is in as well, and it even knows if you're using dice or weapons.
2) I know there are a few bugs with the Power Creator. :P I'll probably stop supporting the app once the toolkit is released as it will be superior in almost every way. So if you can hang out for another week or two, those bugs shouldn't be a concern.
