Making your new Power Toolkit gives me the excuse to make another thread.  Huzzah!  :P

1) When displaying the power in the Power Creator, there's a strange gap between the type of action and target that really shouldn't be there.
2) The "Attack type" and "Attack subtype" should be placed under the heading called "Action".  I don't know the decisions made in organizing the left column, but when I'm making a power I want to be able to connect the positioning of the text on the right with the positioning of the text on the left.  (Ex: I see the type of action and type of attack side-by-side on the card.  Oh, they're side-by-side on the creator too?  How convenient!)
3) You are unable to create "Channel Divinity" powers due to the fact that there's a 30 character limit on the title.
4) The text does not register enter spaces.  I like that you limited it only to single spaces since that's how it looks in the PHB (I double-space after periods), but once you try to copy Paladin's Divine Challenge you immediately see the need for enter.
5) Despite 4th edition claims about killing enemies instead of allies, most powers use the target phrase "One creature" or "Each creature in blast" instead of the word "enemy" which you currently use for the Auto-detect target function.
6) The Power Card Creator doesn't have the PHB template you use for the Power Creator available.  I don't want to have to use the Class Creator to print off 6-8 shiny powers on one page...  :-\
7) I'm somewhat surprised that your program doesn't create its own folder... or maybe that's just because I use Google Chrome and not IE.

But despite all that, your creator is quite well done!  The interface is simple and easy to move through, there's a help section for a few exceptions, it's very easy to add custom material, and the Hit Helper is my bestest buddy.  ;D

Hey Arlen,

Thanks for taking the time to check out the program. I really appreciate it.

I'll see what I can do about attending to the problems you've mentioned. I will quickly mention that there's no installer because the app is beta right now, but it makes sense that it should have its own folder in the archive at least, considering all the extra files that come with the program.
