If you're playing 4e it will note 'bloodied' and have an easy selection of 4e conditions but you can easily use it for other editions of D&D - or even other games. The more pressing problem is the Character Builder. Of course it is entirely possible to create 4e characters without the Builder, and Hero Lab can provide an alternative - though you probably have to enter the power details manually. What's interesting is that despite the - often well-founded - criticisms of DDI, both Character Builders have been successful to the point that it's entirely legitimate to wonder how easy 4e would be to play if they didn't exist. I have something of a suspicion that WotC will do something which is less abrupt than a full 5e, though - given Mike Mearls' desire that WotC is known as a company that supports D&D whatever version you're playing - so they may well be planning something in response to these concerns.</blockquote>
