Nah -- what you should be doing is getting in front of your new HERO
rulebook (which merged all forks), and start coding a nice gui in 
Python/Tkinter to help make characters a breeze. Then, you can
also add some networking and a GM console, and have an over-the-net
HERO game. For extra credit, code all communication in XML-RPC, and
voila! A firewall penetrating multi-user RPG.

all-in-a-day's-work-ly y'rs, Z.
