D&D Insider Character Builder Open Beta live

[Scott_Rouse]

I just wanted to let you know that the beta test for the Character Builder demo is now open to everyone (yes this includes people who are not yet subscribing to D&Di). The beta is still for levels 1-3 but it has some new stuff added to it since the Closed Beta started for D&D Insider subscribers including new content from Martial Power, November Dragon, UI Updates, etc

Check it out and let us know what you think. Here is the link where you can get to download the .exe file.

Even though I am a DDI subscriber, this is a great day. People should try it, its a cool piece of software.

Cool! Thanks Scott!

Some weird issues. If you notice that the gnoll, Drow, minotaur all say "Monster Manual" for their stats. The Drow should say the FR book, and the others should say their Dragon issues. It looks like they took the information from the proper sources, they just labelled it incorrectly. Although the mino article looks like it's just the monster manual info, so I may be wrong.

Cool I will update my closed BETA one. Please please please use your charm, wit, whip, threats, chainsaw, blackmail mpegs/jpegs and/or overtime to get the full 30 levels out by early next year. I reckon my PC's will be up to level 8 by then and I am not looking forward to editing their PDF char sheets... It is labourious and we find an error at least once a session!

Scott, thank you for the heads-up! I still have to check this thing out - I never got a chance to, even though I'm a subscriber...

I'm grabbing it now, thanks for the heads-up!

One issue I've noticed is that the Ranger's Beastmaster fighting style does not allow you to select a beast yet.

Will the software auto-update and pull down information from the server?

Or do I need to run a manual update and grab the new program?

Regardless, this rocks! Thanks! It's a fun toy... I just wish it went up to level 10 at least!

Yes this will be in the gold version but is not in the beta
