www.d20srd.org - Perfect OGL site. Remember to scope out the Psionic stuff too, for some other nonpsionic feats and equipment buffs.
realmshelps.dandello.net/datafind/feats.shtml - A collection of feats spanning most books. Little sloppy in spots, but handy nonetheless.
www.planetadnd.com/3eprofiler/ - Online character sheet for easy editing and sharing.
For example, you can scope out a pair of my more recent builds that utilize the Profiler and the Point Buy System:
I think it might be worthwhile for you all to use the 3E Profiler. For you, it's nice and easy to modify, and it does some of the calculating junk for you. For me (as DM), it'd be handy to have computery versions of your sheets -- just so I can do Spot and Listen checks without letting you know I'm doing Spot and Listen checks.
So, if you do use the Profiler, would you mind posting a link to your public version? That'd be sweet.
Lastly, regarding the Point Buy system: I don't think it's necessary to retroactively change your current characters to match that system. If you rolled your characters, that's fine. I really just wanted to throw this up as a future option to perhaps better foster a balance between characters.

Point-Buy System
In this system, you use a defined amount of points to purchase your ability scores, with the price increasing significantly towards the higher ranges.
You typically begin with 32 points based on a system of starting each characteristic with a base of 8. 'Buying' your characteristic higher on a one to one basis from 8-14. For example, I want to raise my initial Strength score from 8 to 13. I spend 5 points from my pool of 32. To raise a score from 14 to 15, however takes two points; and a further two points to raise that same score from 15 to 16. Lastly, to raise your 16 to 17 requires 3 points; and to go from 17 to 18 requires another 3 points. 18 is the maximum a character can raise their scores (not including any racial modifiers they might have - e.g. Elves get +2 Dexterity and thus could have raised their initial Dexterity to 18 using 16 points and simply add the +2 due to this racial modifier, to a total of 20.)
You can lower any score below 8, typically for roleplaying purposes, but that does not reward you with extra points.
| Attribute | Point Cost |
| 8 | 0 |
| 9 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 11 | 3 |
| 12 | 4 |
| 13 | 5 |
| 14 | 6 |
| 15 | 8 |
| 16 | 10 |
| 17 | 13 |
| 18 | 16 |
