No Character Builder Update

[ourchair]

Uhh.... I don't hate the magazines, Dungeon is a great resource for a time-strapped DM, and Dragon got at least some interesting stuff in it just about every month.

You (and some people on the interwebs) =/= Everyone

I actually like the magazines.

I was merely providing a disclaimer for what I mistakenly perceived to be the inevitable "Dragon sucks, I'm not payin DDI for that!" which seems to get around them boards quite abit.

Ahh...I see...well...yeah I mean "Dragon sucks I'm not payin DDI for that"

Does anyone else think it's fishy that there is no DDI update right when the new Essentials class book comes out? I stopped buying any player power books a long time ago. What's the point of buying them when you have DDI?

This seems like a convenient way to drive book sales by forcing people to go out and buy a copy of Heroes of the Fallen Lands. Plus some pencil pusher gets to point at graph in a slide deck and show how successful Essentials has been.

I think the problem is that D&D Essentials breaks the 4E standard power format. A lot.
I asume that necessitates a lot of changes to the software. Standard assumptions on what you gain by level are no longer true.

I just rolled up a human slayer by hand!*. Ooohh Ahhhh.

It was good fun, the essential character make this process pretty easy. And I wasn't tempted to go 'lectronic.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

* I used the custom dice rolling method. 3d6 in order; below 8 gets to be 8;raise one stat to 16...

Thanks. Seems my university has banned wizards...

And so they should! Interfering busy-bodies, the lot of them.
