[QUOTE="sst187, post: 5390498, member: 99588"] Thank you very much! That has helped very much to clarify it for me. I thought that was where the number came from but was not 100% sure. Thank you again to all of you for such thoughtful and helpful replies. I would tend to agree that making the characters by "hand" really does help cement the concept in ones mind. However, I always try to keep an open mind so I will also be getting a 1 month to DDI and checking out the CB there. I must say after being away from the game for almost 25 years that so much has changed. I thought I might be disappointed but so far, I really like 4th ED. I am also still wondering if I am missing anything by starting with Essentials and even if not, I can see myself getting the original core books. One more thing ... I brought home some power cards for my son last night and they are of course from the PHB. He had been using the power cards from the Red Box. As we were swapping them out, we noticed that there were not cards for some of the powers his characters have and some, like magic missile, are different. The magic missile from the PHB power cards is different from the magic missile from the Red Box power cards. I am assuming this is due to the differences between Core and Essentials? That led me to wonder, which one to use? :erm: [/QUOTE]
