Character Builder is Live

[Vael]

Initial impressions are good. My current PC, a 7th level wizard, got inputted without issue. I did notice the buider does not have the current AV errata, Veteran's armour has its power still, and my wizard uses a +2 Orb of Mental Dominion, and that still has its critical dice.

Full-screen toggle and zoom is purrdy.

Well, so far my only real complaint is a bit of weirdness in the character sheet where it won't allow me to put fields where the whole field doesn't fit and the fact that I can't resize fields.

Otherwise, thumbs up

As long as I see movement in improving it and eliminating bugs, I can foresee a subscription renewal in my future.

Worked fine here, didn't even have to uninstall anything first.

Just uninstalled the beta, downloaded the new install file, and then installed. Now it is running through the updater.

Will let you know how it works in a bit!

EDIT: Just loaded up some chars built with the beta. No problems so far!

I wuv this program, but the scads of houserules in my games is starting to kill me. All my characters have house-ruled stuff. I wish that the Power Cards were re-writable, like parts of the char sheet...writing little notes next to custom feats just isn't cutting it.

Still, this makes character management convenient and even fun.

So far I like the character builder. Having everything at my finger tips like this is quite amazing. If only I could have a campaign builder to go with it.

I found that it was necessary to uninstall the Beta version in order to get the full version to update properly (it basically got corrupted and I had to reinstall it). Other than that, it seems fine besides a few minor things. My question of how they were going to prevent people from filesharing the programs has been answered, it seems. You'll need to input your DDI account credentials in order to update the builder (and probably the other apps they're developing, as well).

Sly Dodge won't seem to let me choose a skill when it comes to the skill selection screen.

How do the Character Sheets look like? I remember some formatting error where you could basically read only the first 3 letters of the text or something. Is that fixed?

Another bug. It hates non-point-buy characters and won't illuminate the 'Next' button.
