And they were able to enjoy the D&D game and knew their PC just fine.  Just because we didn't like the layout doesn't mean they were unusable crap.I export them to PDF just fine, and there's a thread out there that has many people discussing just how they do this.  Should WOTC have made "export to pdf" native to the application?  Maybe, but it's not really critical.  One additional thing to note, with the CB you can send your DM the sheet as a *.dnd4e file and (s)he can load it into their copy of the CB as well.  And if they don't have a DDI sub, and they are a DM, your group might wnat to consider buy it for them.  It will save your poor hard-working DM a TON of time with adventure prep.They weren't that harsh.  A C&D is totally appropriate for what Ema was doing, and it appears that Ema and WOTC came to an agreement about what should be done. Again, I think it bears repeating...If WOTC knowingly allows Ema's site to provide protected content (while charging money), they set a precedence for other sites and companies to create a for-profit venture riding on that same IP.  I am sure there is a technical term for this, but they really had no choice.  Ema's site, especially because it was well liked by the fandom, put WOTC in a terribly compromising situation and they had to act in the way they did.I can envision a conversation like this....WOTC: I know a lot of people like your site and the fans use it for character sheets, but you KNOW you shouldn't have used all this non-OGL and 4e material. Ema:  Yea, but to make the sheets a valuable resource for the player, I needed to add it. WOTC: Yes, but it was illegal. Ema:  I know...... sorry. WOTC: You know you have to shut it down, right?  I wish we didn't have to do this, because the fans like it, but if we don't someone else will do something worse and then we're screwed. Ema:  yea... I know. WOTC: As much as we don't like to, you know we have to send you an official C&D letter, right? Ema:  yea... I know...Just speculating and all....EDIT: and who knew that the INDENT tag puts the text in scary MOD-SPEAK colors.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
