[QUOTE="Sanzuo, post: 5099290, member: 66180"] I'm basically in this camp. elecgraystone's "Term Paper" analogy was correct, not just in the "save your work" sense but in the sense that trying to enter a basic level 1 character into this current template feels like [i]work[/i]. I'm not saying that simply telling everyone to use D&DI CB is the solution (though it would certainly make things easier) but I do think the current template needs to change before I personally am willing to get involved. If it helps, I am also willing to meet you guys halfway. Let us post a CB template and we'll include whatever math is missing. It seems like all is required for a functional character is basic stuff like hp, defenses, your main attack modifier and damage modifier(s). If a player uses a power with some wacky rules, the player and DM can resolve it in a post by post basis. This is how we handle it in the other pbp game I'm in on another forum, it works fine. These are just my ideas. [/QUOTE]
