The character generator has a lot of promise. I hope it's capabilities will continue to expeand and pull in all the rules from the supplemental books.
One problem I ran into was that after the Feat selection I came to the second Skills selection. Suddenly I had 18 more Skill points to spend (which seemed like a lot to me). I maxed out all of my skills, and still had more points that I couldn't spend.
The character I was writting up is included so you can see where any problem might have been generated.

For background, my wife decided she wanted to be a daughter of Londo Molari. As an 8 year old child, she was taken to be presented to the Emperor. The court was in the midst of a debate, were Centauri inherently superior, or was it their superior culture which made them better than all other races.
The debate continued quietly as the emperor met with the children brought to be presented to him. As Londo's daughter came forward, the emperor put the question to the young diplomat, as he was serving as an emisary to Earth at the time. Londo declared that it was plain for any to see that Centauri were superior as a race.
The emperor decided to test this and declaired that Londo's daughter would be sent to Earth to attend human schools and adopt the ways of the Earthers. If indeed Centauri were inherently superior, then she should quickly rise to the top and excel beyond her human peers. As fate should have it the Earth minbari war broke out within months.
She did excel, studying medicine and becoming a doctor. When medical staff with alien experience were recruited for B5, she applied as an expert on Centauri. She has, per the Emperor's order, adopted human styles of dress and wears a wig to appear human. She discards these when in Centauri surroundings. Most of her co-workers know her true heritage, but few would guess it upon a casual meeting.
Londo is actually quite embarassed about the whole arrangement.
