The forthcoming two character builder updates are probably the biggest two since the character builder has been released.  Themes, if the character builder is as clunky as it sometimes looks, are huge. It's an entire new set of powers that break the structure of the existing power/class combinations and can be added to any class. This isn't just adding new content, it's rewiring a large part of the character builder and adding modules that cut across the modular design. (It's bigger than PHB3 psionics because themes can be applied to every character class and mustn't break with any of them; psionic multiclass powers work as normal encounter powers).  And then we come to Essentials. Which is actually probably smaller than themes. But that doesn't mean that you can just plug extra numbers into the database to get the new Martial classes. And they should be easy to separate out from non-essentials. Frankly I'd have been amazed if this month's update was released even to the revised time of mid-month. Edit: and if I know managers, they will have allocated more time to be ready for Essentials than Dark Sun.</blockquote>
