As an aspiring engineer, I'm completely in favor of working smarter, not harder. Plus, with my penchant for programming on the side, I have a habit of making my computer do my more mundane, monotonous tasks. I've been a big fan of Visual Basic or Visual Studio or whatever it's calling itself nowadays for a while. It's easy to pick up and even easier to make a good user interface without needing to spend too much time on it. (Again going back to the smarter, not harder thing).
So, when I starting running 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons adventures, I got pretty tired of keeping track of monsters hit points, and attack bonuses and all that stuff. So, my natural instinct was to make my computer do it for me. I spent a lot of time on this tool, but it's still not perfect. But I figure it's good enough that I don't mind sharing it with the world. I did my best to make most bugs Ignorable anyway.
If you find any bugs, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it soon as I feel like it. As I mentioned before I used Visual Studio, so you might need some drivers and whatnot. I don't know where you get them. That's on you.
