Due to refinements to the Ability Object we + have reconfigured the Occupations feature. Newly created characters will see + no differences but when existing characters are opened PCGen will report that + the Occupation Ability and the associated skill abilities cannot be found. The + fix is simple however, simply note what abilities are missing and go to the + Background tab and reselect your choices.</p> + + <h2><a name="GMGenIssue">GMGen Known Issue</a></h2> + + <p>There is a known issue with GMGen when used on a Macintosh. In the Initiative + Tab when running a combat when you select any character other than the one whose + turn it is and click the Damage or Heal buttons the character whose turn it + is becomes selected and the damage is applied to him instead of the character + which had been selected.</p> + <p>A solution has not yet been found but fortunately there is a simple work-around. + The problem will only manifest when using the System Look and Feel, you can + change the Look and Feel by going to Preferences/Appearance/Look and Feel and + changing it to Java before activating GMGen and then it will work as it should.</p> + + <h2><a name="Installation">Installation</a></h2> + + <h3>Prerequisites</h3> + + <p>Java 5.
