They won't get around to supporting us homebrewers and tinkerers until they finish developing the big-ticket apps like the adventure builder, and that won't be for a while.However, it's quite possible that someone will come up with a way to edit the data files. My understanding is that all the class, race, and power data is stored in XML format, so in theory it shouldn't be too hard to edit. The only problem is that any time you update Character Builder, it will probably erase your homebrew creations.If WotC wanted to throw us a bone without expending a lot of development resources, they could provide a way to store homebrew class/power/race files separately from the official ones, so that a DDI update wouldn't erase them. Then leave it to the fans to come up with an unofficial editor.</blockquote>
