You're right, a Champions character generator would be more than
difficult to write. However, don't put down the AD&D Character
Generator. Note that its AD&D not D&D which if you ever looked at all
the possibilities and exceptions, especially through the rules
introduced in the Unearthed Arcana and the Survival Guides, you would
see that this is no easy feat. The SF AD&D Character Generator covers
EVERY aspect of making up the character (except the history, family,
etc...)
