    One thing that we'd really like to see is the ability to write descriptions for the various spells/powers/abilities and have them available through a quick context menu. We burn a lot of time pouring through the manuals to see if spell x has a duration measured in rounds or minutes, what the radius is for ice storm, if Improved Grapple gives a +2 or +4 bonus, etc. It would be nice if we could answer these questions without ever having to leave the virtual character sheet.

    That sounds interesting, though it might become tedious to enter info in the long run. Ideally, the user should be able to search the web within d20pro. Maybe even incorporate site-specific searches like the D&D Compendium or the d20srd.org

    Hmmm.. I'll bring this up in our next meeting.

    There's no doubt that it would be tedious, but once a given item is annotated, the addition is permanent. I would rather have the information right on the screen rather than have to do a separate web search each time we forget something. It'll only be a matter of time before a fan compiles all the data into a text file and then everyone will have it.
