[QUOTE="Fox Lee, post: 6776061, member: 4346"] My group still 4es - not [i]everybody[/i] specifically prefers it, but three out of four GMs are very attached to the smoothness of running in 4e. We use a couple of simple variants - to whit, inherent bonuses and free expertise feat - but those are the only major changes we've needed to use. Oh, and we have never paid attention to item rarity - we looked at those rules when they came out, but everybody was just kind of "meh, whatever". I do use a LOT of homebrew, though - still super bitter about no Psionics update for the GSL >:\ - so I kinda stopped using the official character builder a while back. Since they went online-only I've been using HeroLab for character building/tracking; it's a paid program, but it's worth the cost for me because integrating my homebrew stuff is a priority. It does have some issues with content attained from the DDI scraper utility (mostly things tend to lose triggers, much like monster powers do in the official monster builder) but there's a community project going to fix those errors, so good times :) For monsters, I usually fall back on Masterplan, since I read that the offline Monster Builder was never updated to reflect MM3 monster maths, [/QUOTE]
