> The core feature set I perceive is this:
> Roll dice (including success tests)
(Turn on/off rule of six enabled)
> Keep track of character stats.
> Roll initiative + show which character acts next etc.
> Keep track of Pools.
> Keep track of injuries to characters.
> Have a character roll a success test ( including injury mods + visibility mods etc)
> Have a character resist damage.
Do you mean this for NPCs or PCs?
> Ability to handle characters, critters, spirits
> Non-Core but nice:
> Combat and Spell "Wizards" to deal with these very common situations.
Description of spells
> Keeping track of ammo.
> Decking "Wizard"
> A "Map" mode to drag characters around on.
No. No,no,no. No, I will not draw every map on the computer everytime I
prepare to GM. No.
> A log of past dice rolls and events.
> Ability to load characters created from the SRCG program.
Good idea!
> Ability to handle vehicles, spells, barriers and programs.
> Context sensitive help.

Most important will be the NPC handler and Initiative-Generator for NPCs, I
think.
