We're well into the digital age now, and it seems like everyone has their laptops around the gaming table. Surprisingly, we still keep our character sheets with our pencils and paper, though. Here're some more technological options if you're still waiting to get out of writing out your characters by hand.
d20 Systems:
DM Genie and Player Genie are two compatible programs developed for the 3rd Edition and 3.5 Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, but are easily modifiable for any d20 game of the same era. Since 4.0 has little open licensing content for independent companies, it's likely we won't see anything for 4.0 anytime soon, unless it is from Wizards of the Coast.
PCGen is another d20 character generator, one I have no personal experience with, but it comes with good recommendations.
d10 Systems:
EdExalted was my go-to for Exalted character generation, but the updates are infrequent, and it's a little clunky to use when trying to integrate player-generated content. A good staple if you're only playing the basic game.
World of Darkness Toolkit for WoD folks. On it's 3rd edition, doesn't include all of the WoD supplements, but has the basics.
Another handy way to keep track of your characters are editable .pdf sheets which you can find for almost any game with a little searching. With luck, you'll be able to keep tabs on your character easily and you won't have to worry about erasing through the paper when your character keeps taking damage.
