[QUOTE="MadLordOfMilk, post: 4749008, member: 77691"] While I do agree that the character builder is much easier math-wise than explaining everything, it shouldn't take 1-2hrs after you've done it once or twice. Plus, explaining all the benefits of everything in the character builder is tougher without the person having made a character by hand. Personally, using a character sheet only adds about 3-5 minutes at most to calculate all the numbers out once it's filled in. Picking my options on the character builder vs using a book takes me about the same amount of time, which is where most of my time is spent. For someone who's not as good at mental math, though, I can see the character builder being a huge time saver (or at the very least, a good way to keep from a bazillion math errors). I personally like it because it's easier to do mentally, but not because it saves [I]that[/I] much time :D As far as combat and environments go, also, that's not pure math calculations like the character builder. There's a big difference there. [/QUOTE]
