So two reason really as middle too should have been part of the offline builder if they had stuck with that. I'm personally having a hard time with the last one as well since you can't customise the character sheet layout like you could with the old builder. You can't even customise what weapons are displayed on the power cards.
That's fine with me. The only reason I customized the old sheet is because I didn't like it as much as I like this one. It's clean and well organized. The old sheet is great when you make a character by hand, not so much when the computer does all the calculating for you.
That said, I have heard that the sheet was uncustomizable until now. Where did you hear that?
I'm doubtful from what we have heard but it would be something worth asking.
I'm an optimist. E-tools turned out o.k., I have faith in the CB.
Yep, I already covered that.
no export except as a print to PDF
(so gone is saving offline and anyway to transfer between you and the GM, gone is the clipboard view which was great for discussing characters online)
What is this clipboard view you speak of? I've never used it.
Covered with the "no export" bit.
no house rule support at all.
I never used the houserule support function. In fact, I consider it essentially to not have any.
Fine with me. Again, houserule support was so bad, I never used it.
no customizing power cards to show multiple weapons
Where did you read that?
no interactive character sheet (with checkboxs and editable regions).
Where did you read that? That said, I've never used it.
no copy/paste information except in text entry fields.
I'm getting the impression that you and I use the CB in radically different ways. What are cutting and pasting from?
current character sheet formats miss important information like Paragon Path, alignment, XP (on the Essentials sheet)
You can always write it on the sheet, if you want it. The XP box on the old sheet was next to useless, as it was only big enough to hold one number.
Be nice if it was, no evidence of that yet, lots of evidence that it has reduced functionality.
It comes out Tuesday. All my questions will be answered then.
Here's how I use the CB: I make a PC, make sure that "house rule" icon isn't on, and then print it for use. I mostly DM, the only time I opened up my players PCs in the CB was to print them out. Color, usually, double sided.
Sometimes I'd have someone who forgot their character sheet and use their laptop. While I never forbade it, I never liked it.
) would also pull me back in.
