[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5377192, member: 7006"] Actually... being able to export the .dnd4e files out of the online builder back down to your hard drive is one of the very first things they are adding back to the functionality. So you won't have to delete anything. Yes, you'll need to [I]copy[/I] the file from the online builder and save it to your hard drive... and then later on re-load the file back to the online Builder if you want to level it... but you won't actually lose it. But that doesn't change the fact that I still can't understand why you would go through all the effort of using the Character Builder for your game now, only to just go cold turkey at whatever point you reach the 20 character limit. What's the point? If you are doing it just to send a message to WotC... then quit NOW. Why get your game so entwined in the new CB only to then yank yourself out of it in three/four/eight weeks time (or whenever you reach the 20?) That makes absolutely no sense. Or could the reality be that you actually [I]don't[/I] want to lose the Character Builder at all, because let's face it... it's a pretty damn fine tool and it makes your game that much easier to prepare and play. However, the only way to make it clear to WotC that you want more character slots is to "threaten to quit" even though you don't actually want to, and when push comes to shove, might not actually go through with it? If you do... good on you. But do it now before WotC has a chance to destroy your game by making you see how useful an Essentials-filled online CB actually is... [I]even with[/I] a 20 character limit to start with. [/QUOTE]
