The general idea is that we don't fill up the generic discussion thread with a debate that will just get rehashed again in a proposal. It also makes it easier for people asking a general question to see a reply. It can get tough when replies get as long as we had. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Well, wiki here is going away some time in the future. That'd mean we'd have to find another wiki. IMO I'd rather give wiki a quick merciful death and never look back. (I loathe the wiki sheets) Well two issues. Not everyone has CB so it's not a universal solution. Better to have a sheet that works for everyone. Second, reviewers/gm's have stated that they want a way to track edits/changes. This gets my vote. everyone can use it, it tracks changes and it's easy to use. Sounds good. If it helps the reviewers and you have CB, why not? Well yes and no. CB has errors and doesn't allow you to do things you should be able to do. You might get the right feat but find it doesn't show it working. So error avoided but it gets you another error.  To be honest, CB isn't the compendium. It tries to do it's best applying the rules to a character but it isn't perfect. Maybe it's just me but I do the math after CB finishes to make sure it's worked. You'd be surprised how often it doesn't, missing a feature, item, feat or property that it can't figure out. #1 the issue is there is no record of changes. #2 a plain text sheet you make on your own fits the bill too. IMO it had the benefit of being a method that everyone uses. That way there is only one set of instructions needed for everyone. Having one way of doing things just makes things easier over all than having 2. it's the status quo. other than that, I see no advantage and plenty of minuses. For reviewers, sure add your CB file. I fail to see the cumbersome and unnecessary. Maybe it's the 20 years of filling out paper sheets but I find less errors in those than CB sheets. Copying info over gives you a chance to actually LOOK at the math and see when things aren't working right. Example: You add together your AC and see that your mage's parrying dagger isn't added in. Something easy to overlook with a copy/paste, both for you AND the person checking using a CB file. Taking a few minutes filling in the auto math sections seems the way to go to get an acuate sheet (or at least as acuate as you can).</blockquote>
