Okay, I've spent significant amounts of time in the last couple of days engaged in character creation for rules-moderate and rules-heavy games (actually, I'm not sure that's true - it could just be my familiarity with d20 leaves me with the impression that it's easier that Rolemaster). This left me with two conclusions:
Firstly, these are the sorts of games where you really need to know the system (at least a bit) to create characters in a reasonably amount of time.
Secondly, I would pay handsomely for a really good, really intuitive graphical character creator, provided it had the ability to print directly to my choice of character form. Which is, of course, an impossible goal (unless I write it myself). Especially since my requirements include full and easy customisation, and I'm not willing to accept anything less than full complaince with my requirements (since if I have to correct characters for the tool, the tool eases to be properly useful).
Alas, there's no easy way around the second problem, and the first is a feature, not a bug.
