It's been that way forever, even with other games, not just dnd. The DM must be able to hold his group together, and any help he can get is welcome, specially at the early stages. Still, there's a sour taste in our mouths.Now, if both the Compendium and Character Builder will grant free access to levels 1-3, could WotC take those rules and realease a free pdf appendix-like suplement with basic char gen for download? Or, could we, the community, make one without any law infringement? (We probably have to wait for the GSL, I suck at this law stuff). Maybe with just a couple of options (i.e. 4 basic classes), to showcase the greatness of character creation and to direct the more interested kids to the books and full online content.One more thing: this is actually a pet-project of mine, but could we see more pre-gens for download? One for each build, why not? That's 16 characters! Make them stereotypical, I don't care, they are pregens! Besides, newbies will probably come to the game with movies and games in mind, so you're bound to hear "I wanna be Legolas". With that many choices, any new player is bound to find something he wants to play, right?</blockquote>
