[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6124734, member: 7006"] Well, depending on which books you decide to use-- just PHI, just PHI&II, just Essentials... the amount of errata you will actually use based upon the specific powers/feats you take will be minimal. Small enough that it would be quite simple to just download the errata PDF doc on the website and use that. And also truth be told... most of the errata doesn't even change or fix problems... they're mainly grammar and spelling errors to help close loopholes or make rulings more clear. So you could easily not even touch the errata when playing the game and not even notice it (not including the couple "big" things like the skill challenge and stealth skill errata). Don't get me wrong... using the CB is a dream. I love using it and it definitely helps with completing the math of everything fast, and get all the pages of your character in order. This is most certainly true. You don't need it to play 4E-- and in fact, many people would probably enjoy NOT using it to play 4E, because they would be less inclined to sift through ALL the pages of powers and feats that can turn using it into a slog. If you don't mind the slog of going through everything, it's a boon to have. But if you want to do a quick and easy 4E game... just pull out the Essentials book or just PHI and you'll see how nice, easy, and clean 4E character generation can be. [/QUOTE]
