[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5365707, member: 51930"] hahaha, there is the rub that reminds me of why I quit 4e some time back 1) Electricity costs money. Always having a computer on means sucking up oil, burning coal, and draining energy from my kids' grand-kids. 2)Print out sheets: ink costs cash. I'm the host, so the players print out here. CB does the math, so no erasing changes. All changes are in ink, so all sheets must be re-done. That includes every. single. item. If the PCs so much as pick up a torch, I have to go online to update that, print it out in glorious technicolour, and pay out the nose for new ink, a new printer, paper, and the electricity to run my computer? Incidently, PCgen for Pathfinder is FREE. It doesn't have regular updates beyond the core book. Then again, the SRD is also FREE. When I wrote my last adventure for halloween, the entire thing was done on a Word document, with cut and paste monsters from the internet. Monster Builder 4e may let me generate my own monsters, but how do I put them together in one document for an adventure? I'm not that tech savvy, and I decided not to search the program for a stat-block maker/exporter, as I can save way more money by getting out. Lovely system, but it's too much cash. That's silly. I'd rather use Pathfinder, it's less money for me the consumer. [/QUOTE]
