Everything in the ARG should be implemented, lich king. The Power Selection dropdown determines which traits are visible for selection, it sounds like you've left it on Standard.

New update today that adds better validation and error messaging when loading data files.

@StarMartyr365 & Solusek: Okay, so it seems your problem is being caused by that first popup window not being able to close itself. I made a minor change in today's update that might address it, but it's a guess at best. I must confess that I'm doubtful it will work, but I don't have much to go on (I am also on Win7 x64, so that rules out the most obvious source of the problem).

Okay power users, I've got a customization guide up that documents the structure and function of the XML data files. I'll do some work on the program for better error handling on these files to make it easier on you, so you should see a new update in a couple of days.

I did find that kobolds are missing their perception skill bonus.

For some reason, the ARG kobolds don't have the bonus but the Bestiary ones do. I'm inclined to leave it as is unless folks feel strongly it should be changed.

@DonDuckie & Oceanshieldwolf: Sorry guys, early on I had considered doing this web-based, but I think doing a web UI that I'd be happy with would have been too much of a hassle and distract from the rest of the project.

New Update!

• Sleight of Hand will no longer display as Acrobatics for the Skill Bonus and Skill Training traits.

@Mervikoth: Those races use racial traits that don't have a point value, so they don't work with the race creation rules.

*edit looks like i should have read all the post first it seems that warhawk had the same problem i did hope it all works out

Your problem isn't the same as Warhawk's. I'll send you a PM to see if we can troubleshoot.

New Update!

• Added a filter to the race selection popup to only see Paizo or custom races.
  
• The Actions menu has been renamed to be the File menu, because reasons and sense.
  
• There is now an option in the File menu to delete one or more races. You monster.
  
• The Breath Weapon trait has been rehabilitated from his goblin upbringing* and should no longer rage at all of the words on the rulebook entry tab. He still breaks some of the rules for how traits should behave in the program, so let me know if you see anything funky.

*: They adopted him because he pukes death on people, and that's AWESOME.

It appears the Breath Weapon trait was abandoned in the woods while all the other traits were raised by loving parents. Best to leave him alone until I find him a foster family.

Thank you for the feedback, Warhawk. In response to some of your points:

Pro 2: I did the files in XML mainly for my own convenience for keeping them updated. A how-to guide for customizing them is something I'd like to get around to someday.

Con 1: Very strange that it is still asking you to save. Do you get any sort of message when the crash occurs? Have you seen any pattern in what type of trait can cause this (with settings or not, valid settings or not, and so on)?

Con 2: There is a File menu, but it is currently called Actions, because I originally had different plans for how the program would manage races. It will be renamed to File in the next update. If you're not even seeing the Actions menu, then - coupled with Con 1 - that sounds like something may be going haywire with your specific setup.

There is now!

Hello, Pathfinders! This is my first post here, so hopefully I picked the right spot for it. At any rate, I would like to share with you all a little program I made that implements the race creation rules from the Advanced Race Guide. It lets you build a race using the traits found in the ARG, and then it will generate a rulebook-style entry that you can copy/paste elsewhere.

You can find out more information and download it here.
