# 1 PowerHouse Character Planner

PowerHouse is an HTML/Javascript character builder for Champions Onlineā„¢ players. It allows for the planning of innate talent, super stats, talents, powers, and advantages. Builds are saved by bookmarking a save link. And there is a forum export option.

It is similar to and inspired by championBuilder, originally written by Moritz Hartmeier and currently maintained by Roxstar, which is a Java application that performs a similar function.

Have a look at the Help section for some instructions on how to use it.

http://powerhouse.nullware.com/

Please submit any bugs or suggestions via the Google Code Repository.

Specializations and other changes in the recent patch have not been implemented yet. I am working on them next.

This is now my preferred character planning tool. Easy to use UI, and I love that it doesn't require an installed client. I now just have a Google Docs spreadsheet with a PowerHouse link for each toon.

This is really an excellent contribution to the CO community.

Thanks Brizel!

First off, thanks for the supportive feed back.

Well, it is possible of course, but it is a huge undertaking. Also, those numbers seem to change frequently and are not officially published by Cryptic -- so people have to determine them by playing around in the Power House in game. It would be a lot easier if Cryptic had an API or at least published the game data.

If I were to ever add this, I would probably just copy the numbers found at cowiki or in championBuilder. Does anyone know how up to date those numbers are? I feel that unless most/all of the numbers are correct then it is not worth doing at all since people will come to rely on them.

Also, you would have to be able to enter the stats from your gear.

So, in short, it's a huge undertaking that will probably not happen by me. (The source code is completely open, so anyone can make a fork of it and add functionality.)

A small suggestion, for choosing your talents, could you make the text for Stats bigger?
