[QUOTE="Dice4Hire, post: 4932096, member: 55066"] Very charged topic. I do not think the OP's impression that it is 'accepted' is really valid. I think those that use the DDI character builder, which lumps Dragon, PHB, etc, etc, etc, etc into one mass of data find it easy to use feats, pwoers, and such from a wide variety of sources, but WOTC's cross referencing things between the DDI and printed books is very annoying to me, as a non-DDI subscriber. Examples: Arcane Power. The swordmage section was useless to me as I did not buy the FR book the base class is in. PHB Miniatures. Those power cards are 'core' for DDI people, but how about for those who did not buy the packs? Dragon articles: Leaving aside the balance issues of feats there, when will these feats and powers and things be available outside DDI? The dragon compendium was terrible for crunch. I have said it before, and I'll say it again now, that the DDI is causing a pretty big rift in the 4E community and I forsee it getting worse as more things are available only in the DDI confines, things that will not be printed in books as they are already 'Core'. But I expect no changes, but it really hurts my liking of 4E and desire to support it. IMHO [/QUOTE]
