UA will be going weekly and presenting more character options plus the new Ranger is being used in a lot of campaigns. Is there a reference guide somewhere that explains how to set up a character so it works like the ones in the Players Handbook?

No reference guide, but I believe the Par5e thread has discussions on it as well as what hand coding in the xml has to be done to allow the archtypes and similar to have pop-up.

I'd personally like a race maker.

All in good time! I've built the new application in such a way that I can constantly release functionality module by module :D

Put a start, a finish, something in between. Then GO!

Well I was thinking it would be nice to be able to make a setting specific Reference which would work drag/drop autocomplete just like the official content does.

For example Greyhawk has about six human sub-races with different ability adjustment schemes, bonuses to specific skills, languages, etc... it would be nice to just have that available (after making it of course) for when a new player comes in.

I lack the xml-fu or indeed any other kind of -fu to make it happen (I am double specialized in klutz-fu however).

Can't you just use existing par5e for that ?

JohnD sometimes you gotta stretch that brain of yours...
Par5e does not require coding as such - but it is very particular about the formatting of your input...
