Character Builder is Live

[Bold or Stupid]

The only issues I'm having are problems with multiclass feats actually carrying through (I picked a power swap, why can't I swap). Plus there are still some problems with it picking up some details of the MP fighter features (the ones in chainmail).

Ah, of course! That seems to work.

Glad to help!

Another bug. It hates non-point-buy characters and won't illuminate the 'Next' button.

If you are creating a human, you must use the drop-down to pick your bonus stat. It may be waiting for your choice. This worked on the first character for which I decided to input stat.

Character Portrait doesn't show up in the character sheet box.

oooh...not good. I was just getting ready to try that. How easy is it to import your own art?

The DDI future looks bright indeed. I'm happy I jumped, these and the tools and the content is more than worth it to me.

The art thing only happens to me if I don't manually choose a portrait. I've imported dozens of pictures and the handler has done an excellent job of resizing and putting the picture into the character sheet.

Since a lot of people have no issues, maybe it's on your end there is a problem? I can only say that it certainly doesn't look like that at my end.

Hrm. How to say this.

It's very definitely a "problem" on my end. The software is having a weird reaction to something specific about my laptop. That being said, I've been running Vista (business version, which might be the cause) for a year and a half now.

I've never seen any of the problems with the new OS that others have complained about. I've installed lot's of software from other manufacturers and I've downloaded lot's of open source software. I've never seen a piece of technology malfunction as massively as their character generator has. On rare occasion Adobe Acrobat 9 has a loosely similar problem, but it's never extreme enough to make the software more or less unusable.

I'll have to see what customer service says.

Gee, I wish my DDI account weren't screwed up. This was one of the things I was really looking forward to.

Have they fixed the bug I reported?

Bracers of perfect shot didn't add to the damage of magic missile and eldritch blast (which it should, since they are ranged basic attacks)

Cheers

I had the same issue with power swap. It's a bit weird- you go to the retraining area, pick which power to drop, click the drop option button, then there's a box in the lower right which lists power swap options.
