[Jools]

I need more info on the 5 activations though.

I'm probably going to subscribe myself now too. What is this exactly?

I'm probably going to subscribe myself now too. What is this exactly?

The software can only be installed 5 timers per month (month being defined as "between monthly data updates")

So if you're trying to put it on the one computer, but also put it on another and then another (so you'd have a work, home,and laptop computer with it on it). That'd only be 3 uses. If you're trying to install it at a friend's place or if you get errors trying to install it, those also count against your 5 per month limit.

the limit is just on the installation of the program itself. once it's installed, you can use the program itself as many times as you want..

at least, that is my understanding of all that based on how it's worded at the wotc site.

Thanks FBA. If thats really the case, I think I'll subscribe. Been playing with this new version, so far I've noticed more portraits and the Ranger beast companions are in place.

Curious, have they fixed the text cut off's on the power cards? Specifically ones that show weapon damage, in many cases in my casual perusal the cards were usually cut off and not showing that kind of damage.

I finally subscribed.

And so far I have not had much time to play with the character generator, because I am finding the encounter generator and linked compendium to be so great that I have been playing that since I subscribed.

It took me less than 10 minutes to build exactly what I wanted, including cutting and pasting the encounter setup, the full stats for each creature, direct guidance on experience and encounter difficulty and roles, and the encounter tactics, all into word. The format didn't all come through exactly, though I think I could easily solve that with a screen shot instead of copy and paste (which takes about as long to do).

Making an encounter like that used to take a lot more time. I am really happy with how useful those two applications are. I think they alone are worth the subscription price for any DM who is making up their own encounters.

VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems is free.

Doesn't work with .Net, unless you know something I don't.

I was trying to make a houserule character using an invented race. I couldn't figure out how to put in the race's power(s) or skill bonuses. Any ideas?

 

[Baumi]

I don't think you can, but you can just add the attributes yourself (you would have -x points but who cares). I have no Idea about the skills, but just write it in the Race-Notes that they are not included.

Actually it appears to be 5 data downloads, not 5 installs (thus, bad installs wouldn't count against you).

You must do a data download the first time the program is ran.

Since this is the rules forum, I'd ask this rules related Character Builder question:

- For my 18th level Dragonborn Warlord, the builder gives me a damage value of +11 with Furious Smash. This can only be right if it applies the enhancement bonus and my Weapon Focus feat to the damage.

Is this correct? I thought these bonuses only applies to actual "rolls".
