-    Although it is still in beta, a lot of its features already work and much more features will be available in future versions.
+    This is not an oversight but a design choice which makes it much easier to maintain and extend the generator.

+        <li>It gives you dropdown menus for ranged/melee weapons, skills, abilities/benefits, worn armor, spells, rune plates, and capacitors (we use the names from our index, so a Tharn Axe is an "Axe, Tharn")</li>
-        <li>It autocompletes Ranged Weapons, Melee Weapons, Skills, Abilities, Worn Armor, and Spells.</li>
+        <li>It includes all races, castes, archetypes, careers, career options, and adventuring companies from the index</li>
-        <li>The beta only supports the entries of the FMF Core Rules</li>
     </ul>
 </p>

-    We plan to include all other books as well in the future, when the generator is better tested.
+    Have fun creating your IKRPG characters!
-    More features and data will be provided in the future in our free time.
-    But in the meantime: Have fun creating your Full Metal Fantasy characters!
