It bothers me that there's NO way to look at your pretender design when he's not awakened/on map...
The Tools do not have any Pretender viewer neither.
There's also still no way to see your designed scales...
As a result, I'm sometimes wondering what is my pretender or are my scales when I play 5 short "test" SP games plus 3 pbems ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Also, there's no real way to manage your pretender. No edit option, and the only way to delete it is to start up a game.

Well, you can go to the appropriate directory and delete the pretenders manually, but that's kind of ugly, _especially_ considering that the files are named things like "late_tienchi_1.2h", "late_tienchi.2.h", etc. Which gets even uglier when you have to find/send the pretender file for a PBEM game.
Frankly though, the best hope for a pretender viewer is for one of the community's programmers to write a stand-alone tool for it - Illwinter doesn't like to program non-fun things, and besides I think we _want_ them working on gameplay stuff instead.
But a file format for the pretender files would certainly be handy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
