[QUOTE="MrBeens, post: 5378478, member: 62153"] Not impressed. It is sluggish and overall really badly laid out. Horrible amount of wasted space. :):):):) off, I don't need a little random picture next to each class to somehow demonstrate what that class is. No mouse wheel or keyboard controls. Things that are not in the new CB that used to be in the old version You can only have 1 weapon assigned to a power card at any one time. Even powers that are dual weild powers don't properly list the attack and damage for both attacks. Powers that can be used for melee and ranged (like twin strike for instance) can only have one of the versions listed at any one time. No holy symbol slot. You have to equip it in your hand! No summary of feats - you have to click on each one individually to read the text. Rituals are just listed in the equipment section with all your other stuff. Non magic items can't be shown as item cards (I had ritual components as cards so I had more space for keeping track of what was mine, the parties etc) Can't make a blank item card - useful for so many things. Can't rename items - yes, thats about as far as item customisation went in the old version but it was really useful. No custom portait - wtf! You can't even have no portrait. No customisation on the character sheets. Both of the character sheets are really ugly and have so much wasted space. Whats with the massive amount of white space down the right hand side? None of the character sheets show the calculations for what they are doing liek it did on the old sheet. Can't remove flavour text from power cards. The item selection screen is awful. You have to choose a weapon category, then a weapon both from drop down lists, then you can look at the stats on that one weapon. For comedy - made a quick 2 weapon human ranger. Made it auto pick feats at first level. Sheild finesse and power attack [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-downs.gif[/IMG] That said there are some bits I like. I like the new second page for feat, racial and class features. The old sheets didn't show enough. Apart from the :):):):):):) no customisation etc I said above I like the new style power cards. They are much cleaner. I ummmm like the skill select when creating a new character. Before you had to click skill, click choose skill. Now you just tick tick tick. Well you would if it didn't pause for 10 seconds after each click. Really I am clutching at straws of things to like here. [/QUOTE]
