[QUOTE="TwoHeadsBarking, post: 5652210, member: 82251"] The point is that everyone here is used to the wiki summary. The history behind this is that for a while people were allowed to just have spreadsheets. Basically, the person who built the character enjoyed the ease the spreadsheets allowed, but everyone else who had to use the character sheet (judges, DMs) really didn't like it. Personally, I prefer the spreadsheet for building characters, but I find reading the wiki page to be so much easier once the character is already built. You can read more about the decision to stop allowing just the spreadsheet [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/living-4th-edition/296877-proposal-remove-option-create-character-spreadsheet.html]here[/url]. Anyway, Voda Vosa's character [url=http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/PC:Vermitrax_(Voda_Vosa)_-_L4W_Character]Vermitrax[/url] is a pretty good example of what your character page should look like. What stonegod said, mostly. Also, that's not why I didn't approve Vayne. The lack of summary and the expertise feat were why I didn't approve her. When I review a character, I make notes of everything out of place that I notice, but I only withhold approval if one of the issues is mechanically important. Not having the right amount of ability points, or using an unapproved background. Things that change the numbers. These are the issues that need to be addressed before approval, but I still tell the player about everything else that popped up. Please don't see my comments as a rejection. See them as a critique. You submitted the first draft of your character, and I gave you notes on it. The character approval process is really more like peer review than anything else. Let me know when you've chosen a feat, and I'll take another look at Vayne. I recommend Unarmored Agility. Vayne's a little fragile. edit: Dang, stonegod. You ninja-ed me twice. [/QUOTE]
