Well when I first took a peak at it it was somehow set to 600 in each attributes in default- wasn't really expecting it to be like that though. 100 each would be enough for every character in life module 0 phase at least.

I set mine up to automate optimization with life modules.  It's still pretty manual, but I don't see any optimization formulas in this one.

I currently am trying to work on a "cheap" automated program to provide random characters and background to MegaMek (MekHQ). Anyone have any Excel work for it?

Just for AToW, sorry.  More will have to wait until I retire (only four years and a bit to go at this point).

Well the idea is to make AToW characters that will be trimmed down and adapted. Certain traits and such will have game effects.

Oh!  I thought you had committed to 3rd Edition...  My spreadsheet has a lot of the optimization math figured out, and I suppose you could punch in the module data easily enough, and randomize it.  The reason I didn't enter all the module data is that Herb himself asked me to "minimize verbatim content" back when I was first building it.

I somewhat have. What I like about 3rd if those random life path events. The Companion has a version for that. I need something where I can plug in those changes as well.

Don't suppose we have any updates on that program, can imagine being a law student at the time of writing would have been taking its toll of free time, if he has become a practicing lawyer may not have had free time to continue.
