Yeah, not a tablet, that sucks, they need to do better. It's still good.As for "one of my players failed to create an optimized PC once", well, dude, I don't buy it. Casual players don't create highly optimized PCs. Period. That's way of the world. So if he's really casual... if not, he should know the trap options. The builder still makes building a PC easier - if he uses the Essentials method, he also won't be bothered by scary giant feat lists and will come out with a perfectly functional PC. This isn't 3E. The difference between a normal PC and an optimized non-exploit-y one is fairly reasonable (exploit-y ones obviously can go far beyond, but it was ever thus in D&D, and most DMs go "Haha no.").The point is, it's still vastly superior to not having it. Crazy superior. All of my players successfully created their PCs entirely without my help. That's unprecedented. One of them was new to RPGs (all were new to 4E), two others casual-as-hell. I can easily check their PCs after the fact and suggest adjustments, too.Bolded bit is simply untrue, by the way. Not even arguable. Effective and optimized are not the same thing.</blockquote>
