The PHB2 in its physical form is nothing but a cruel tease to me, sitting there, filling me with ideas and not yet available on the character builder, and I'm too spoiled to actually work them out in pen and paper...
My group is starting back up a high level 3e game, converted to high paragon 4e and I shudder at trying to make 5 17th level characters without the CB.
Unintended side effect of how awesome the Character Builder is: a general reluctance of gamers to build anything with new material until the 4th Tuesday of every month.
Tell me about it. On Tuesday, I'll be in San Bernardino CA visting my future in-laws. No update for me until the following Tuesday. Maybe I'll have to bring my laptop along and too a coffee shop...
Really guys? I mean I love the character builder, but I have already statted several characters for fun., Maybe it's because I don't like the Character Sheet format.
I think this thread is a testament to how much we've wanted an official decent character generator for so long and how well they've done at implementing it.
