[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3830550, member: 53"] This is how this works based on comments made before (which I reported here based on comments by Didier Monin). When you buy a book there will be a code to unlock "online extras." The price is to be determined, but has been stated to be about the price of a "cup of coffee." What hasn't been decided yet is the type of coffee. When you unlock it online you get an electronic copy of the book (presumbably PDF, but I'm not sure it's been confirmed). That book will be updated when errata is finalized and posted (which will be available for free elsewhere). [B]You will not need to be a DDI subscriber for this function.[/B] [B]If you are a DDI subscriber[/B], unlocking the data will also open full versions of "stuff" from the book in the DDI tools. All subscribers will have a feat listed in the Character Sheet function, but only those that have unlocked the book will have the full description of the feat available there. Exactly what is unlocked in unclear and probably hasn't been decided. For example, it would be nice if you unlock an adventure if you get the map for the Virtual Tabletop and the virtual monster models for it, plus have the stats for all NPCs/monsters in the adventure available. I doubt it will go that far. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
