Oct 12th Pathguy’s Javascript Character Generator

I’ve begun playing with 4e character generators.  Yes, Wizards have their own generator, but I’m more interested in independent approaches to the problem.  I had a lot of fun working with PCGen to generate 3.5 characters (heck, I still use it!), which generates some great PDF character sheets that print nicely.  I’m hoping to find a 4e equivalent to PCGen.  Know of any decent generators?  If so, send them in to CCB!

In my quest to find a decent 4e character generator, I’ve started surveying the online scene (though I would prefer a stand-alone, cross-platform application).  The first link that I followed took me to Pathguy’s Javascript Character Generator, which presents itself in a large, single page and uses Javascript to drive the process.  This site has some nice features, notably the error-checking.  However, navigating through the large, single page (it would be better to only be presented with the choices available to you at each stage of the process) is a bit clunky.  In the end, though, you do get a usable character sheet.  I’ve attached it here (untouched from its output — note the multiple fonts and the check boxes to track remaining powers).
