Hi Matt,

I'm the author/maintainer of the Lone Wolf Action Chart. Unfortunately I
have to confess that I haven't done much maintaining on it for a long time
now! You're quite right about the New Order books; I never did add the
options necessary to support that series.

I do have plans to release an updated version of LWAC -- these days,
integrated play aids are all the rage, ones that display the book for you
and can pick up items with a click, that sort of thing, but I think there's
still room for a simple, standalone program like LWAC. But I'm afraid I
couldn't give any kind of estimate as to when this new release might be
available. (That said, I do hope it'll be before any of the integrated play
aids catch up to the New Order series!)

In the meantime, I think you might be able to work around LWAC's limitations
to play the New Order books. You could use the Notes section to record any
of the Disciplines that were new to the New Order list (Bardsmanship,
Elementalism, Herbmastery, Astrology). And as long as you're playing all the
books in order, you know you'll be at the highest possible Kai rank, so the
fact that the rank structure changed for the New Order won't matter.

If you have any further queries or issues with LWAC, please don't hesitate
to contact me, either by email or on the LWAC
section<http://projectaon.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lwac>of the
Project Aon forum.
