Thanks for the advice. I've reassessed a few things over the day and as a result there's no need for folks to offer me further answers. So thanks everyone, but please consider my question answered and thanks for your help.

All, I'm about two weeks out from my first session of my campaign. The game will feature players from the Essentials line of material, with a few extra twists. This thread isn't about them, it's about my efforts to prepare for the game. First off, I've decided not to go ahead with a DDi...

I am also interested to know what the situation is currently with the Monster Builder. I'm contemplating a subs for DDI for a few months primarily for the Monster Builder. So how does one export the stats you create using it and what sorts of limits are there in how many monsters you can create...

EN World posting: We've already got a player wanting to play an Essentials Wizard. Not sure if we'll get a cleric in the party, there was some talk of doing this 'hardcore' minus the healing bonanza a Cleric brings via unlocking healing surges and the like. I'll be working with the player...

I am relative newcomer to posting here on ENWorld. Neve the less I figured I might take the opportunity to post this. I'm in the process of beginning to once again run a 4e-era D&D campaign. The current working title of the Campaign is "Heroes of ..." where the dots represent the name of the...

I had a look at the Marvellous Monsters pdf earlier. Can you or someone else who has used this rules patch/variant relate to me how this compares to the Monster Vault/post Monster Manual 3 games math? I'm no maths whiz, but have two of them in my group (one is currently writing a maths textbook...

While I should probably also look at alternatives to the "MM3+" math, it is reading here that taking out a current DDI subscription might be an excellent idea. So that's sounding like the course of action for now. Thanks for the further input, everyone!

Any attempt to time save is far from lame! If you get that much use out of your subscription that's good to hear, if anything I also live a fairly hectic life and any tools available to reduce preparation time would be welcome. I'm going Essentials-only as I've already run 2 campaigns using...

I'm in the midst of preparing for an Essentials-only campaign that hopefully should start in about 4 weeks or so. As part of these preparations, I'm hoping to develop some statistics for certain major characters, monsters and so forth. With that in mind I am contemplating renewing my DDI...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. It does seem as if re-skinning the Dragonborn would certainly work, likewise I have that Dragon article lying around thanks to my 2+ years of DDI subscription. Looks like problem solved for now.

I did think of reskinning the shifter but the main concern I had would be how that PHB II race stacks against the Essentials versions of the other core races. The setting I am creating could easily accomodate a "Lion-Man" character, but I made it clear he'd be an exotic in the setting as we'll...

I've recently acquired the full set of 4e Essentials line books and am in the process of creating characters and the setting for a game that will start in the next few months. So far everything is going fairly well. More an and than a however, I have a player that wishes to play a Lion-race...

Thank you for taking time to create this. I'm sitting down right now to try my hand at creating an adventure and this looks to make the process much simpler. So my thanks and social kudos.
