[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4999494, member: 66434"] I agree with a lot of items that have been mentined to a lesser or greater extent. The one thing that has cropped up recently for me in my fairly new 4E campaign is the difficulty of actually implementing house rules that have an impact on the character sheet. I know that we CAN certainly use whatever we want in theory. When 4E first came out we created all characters by hand and realized what pain it was to remember all the bonuses, what applied to which powers, etc. The CB is awesome but the support for integrating house rules into nuts & bolts calculations isn't there. I really wanted to create custom magic items like I always do for my games but if all bonuses from them have to be tacked on by hand to every power they affect it renders the CB next to useless. I am irritated that a D&D character is so software dependent and campaign creativity has to take a back seat to practicallity. [/QUOTE]
