Character Builder is Live

But only if you have the full version. Acrobat Reader doesn't create a PDF print driver.

I was guessing that because he said he could use acrobat to merge pages, that meant he had the full version (reader didn't use to be able to merge things, although that isn't to say they've not added it in the meantime!)

Is anyone else having trouble printing in a landscape format? Currently, I'm getting the landscaped pages sctreched to fit a portrate page. This worked fine for me in the beta.

Anyone know why we can create nearly any custom item (Feats, Powers, Races, Paragons, etc) EXCEPT custom deities? Wouldn't that be the EASIEST thing to implement?

 

[Nymrohd]

How exactly are you guys creating custom items? I mean I've seen the houserule section in Campaigns but it just takes text with no formating for me.

You can however install some free program, like CutePDF to do the same.

exactly, I use the open source pdfcreator and it does let me save the character sheet as a single pdf btw.

You're looking at it (for now).

Ah I thought I might be missing something. Tbh the CB is great as it is, I'd love a good houserule tool, but they are a huge pain to create; I'll be most pleasantly surprised if they pull that off, but not much dissappointed either way.

Huh... I'm not particularly interested in much of the other Insider stuff, but $8 for a month-long subscription just to pick up the Character might be worth it.

Forgive me if this has been answered already...I'm getting kids ready for the day so I don't have the time to read to see if this has been answered yet.

I ran into the same issue. I discovered (almost by accident) that if you enter the stats into the white boxes as opposed to using the blue circles, it'll give you the Next button highlighted, though it will still say the character is not legal point-buy.

Ah, cool, that's awesome. Thanks for the heads-up!

So easy to make NPCs now....

You use PC classes and stats for NPC's?

Why bother unless they're travelling with the party?

Yes I do. Full Adobe lets you merge files together, and I don't believe this is in the Reader only. The funny thing is that I was just printing some new characters, and I was able to create the whole sheet (all the pages) in one PDF. I'm not sure why I had a problem with it earlier.
