Character Builder and Compendium Update Announcement April 28th

[mudbunny]

Scribble happy.

Now all they need to do is add a section in the compendium for:

Traps
Diseases
Poisons (or are they covered under alchemy/equipment?)
Terrain

I think that's all I need.

I poke them about that fairly regularly in my weekly reports.

No. Hazards and Skill Challenges too, please

Yeah it would be nice if we never actually needed a book in the table and could go by the Compendium only

I'm really excited about the XML stuff.

Yeah hopefully it is as fully featured as I'm hoping...

I'm really excited that you're excited! I can't wait to see some custom character sheets based off of the builder. It's the one big thing the builder is missing.

I'm specifically thinking of finally updating my power tracker so that you can just import the powers from the XML file.

The ability to create custom character sheets is nice, but what really excites me is the idea of using laptops as a replacement for character sheets. One click of a button and it makes the attack and damage rolls for you and expends the power...

Not sure how viable that will be, though. Even with full access to the rules database the character builder leaves a lot of things dependent on the player (e.g. it doesn't seem to calculate attack bonuses for the dragonborn racial power, and ditto for many conditional modifiers).

I"m just hoping for someone to make a charsheet that looks like the Gameday pregens.
