Just a brief interuption of normal service to mention that the requested feature to automatically build Hero Wars characters from keywords is available and working. See http://www.egroups.com/group/HeroWarsProgram for full details of the program.

The facilities available for keyword character generation are 1 - create and save files containing one or more keywords or characters
2 - load saved files from local disk or from a web site (see http://www.indigost.demon.co.uk/glorantha/karath.xml for an example of the file layout)
3 - drag and drop from a keyword to a character to add the keyword. You may specify the rating and whether the keyword is inserted as normal abilities, a keyword ability with subabilities (i.e. like an affinity and feats or close combat and a fighting style such as sword and shield) or just as a keyword with a rating. 4 - if there are duplicate skills from two separate keywords then the higher rating is used
5 - a character may be saved in HTMl format for printing.

Of course, there are several other features ;-) including most rules from the playable synopsis.

Happy New Year,
Charles
