Character Creation

I'd like to see more character creation and advancement functionality in FG. I've actually grown quite accustomed to using FG at the tabletop even just as a player when we are not using FG for any other function (some of my GMs don't have laptops to hook up to the monitor I have set up). Having it step through creation and then handling Advancements as I add XP would be really useful. I know that's a crazy extra level of functionality to put onto FG but I can dream and this is for suggestions after all.

Well, certainly a possibility (as is Hero Lab), and I've certainly pointed out that the NPC Creator (as you've stickied on the forum) is usable for importing those characters. It's still extra steps and, as the new D&D Character Creator added into FG recently shows, it's certainly doable in FG and can provide much better integration. For example, anything from those external program won't pull in the actual skill, hindrance, edge, power, etc., information from the sourcebooks which also means they won't have the appropriate Effects keywords in them and such. So it would still be a very nice thing to have that functionality directly supported in FG.
