[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5395284, member: 9053"] I'd say for some definition of "easy," and "characters" this statement is true. There are currently well over 1000 feats, split over a couple dozen rulebooks and over two years of dragon magazines. Using the old character builder, I can see every feat for a class or race in 30 seconds, and plan appropriately. Doing so with only paper and pencil would be an... interesting exercise. The same is true for powers, and even moreso for items for your wishlists. So I'd say that if you want to create a simple character and use only core options, the paper and pencil method can work just fine. Trying that while attempting to view all of your available options is something I could definitely do, but why on earth would I? How long does it take to look up all of the level 8 magic weapon enchantments that can be applied to a dagger (something I recently did when designing a level 7 rogue)? Character builder? A minute, tops. By hand? Good luck with that. --Steve [/QUOTE]
