WotC has nothing to apologize for.  They errata and update those parts of the game they think need it, and if we players choose to make our own lives easier by using the Character Builder... then we have to accept whatever changes WotC feels are needed.If we don't want to accept them... then we do what every other roleplayer has done for the past 30 years, and spend an hour (rather than a minute) generating and writing out our characters by hand.  If you do that... you can use whatever version of whatever power or rule you want, mixing and matching them as much or as little you want.Technology makes us lazier... there's no getting over it.  But the only way to get things exactly the way we want it is to gird up our loins, adjust our helmet with the headlamp on it... and delve deep into the dark age of graph paper and the Number 2 pencil.</blockquote>
