[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5366469, member: 94022"] This. I played 3.0/3.5 throughout its entire existence. My group never used the errata because, frankly, we just didn't want to deal with flipping through all those pages of errata. Now, in 4th Ed., we have taken to using the eratta simply because the CB incorporated it for us. Were it not for the CB though we wouldn't be using the errata either. My first couple of characters (for LFR and a game at a FLGS) were made with pencil and paper. I hadn't bought into DDI yet (and I don't think CB was up at LFR launch at GenCon either, but I could be wrong on that one). It was easy then, and its still easy now. It just happens to be [I]easier[/I] with the CB. To me, the real drawback to the online version comes to those who travel a lot (presumably for work) and like to use the CB when they travel but may not be at a hotel (or other location) with internet access. I personally, do not buy the "I need to have CB up and running while I play argument." It may be somewhat convenient (though my personal experience suggests otherwise) but it is far from necessary. Paper and ink, while not free, are not that expensive either. [/QUOTE]
