Only real problem I had was when I went to clikc save, it came up with an error message and forced me to exit the builder. Didnt get to keep that character. I can see that really messing me up if I spend a lot of time making a high level character.Rain Sagakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618801024012556122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-22306267239818821342010-11-16T13:29:46.753-08:002010-11-16T13:29:46.753-08:00I also noticed that if you choose to build a "...I also noticed that if you choose to build a "quick" Essentials character that it strips away race options.

Josh couldn't find his +2 shockweave armor, so it might also be missing some stuffs. :-/David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-12270579658474265002010-11-16T12:38:19.217-08:002010-11-16T12:38:19.217-08:00Cons (for me anyway)

It takes less space on the table when space is premium<br /><br />-printing is slow, 5 pages in 1 min.. i saw my spooler go over 120megs for the print job! wow..<br /><br />-psionics At-wills are WAY to small to read with the augmented 1/2 info<br /><br />-again, no modifications can be done (add/remove power cards etc..) <br /><br />I'll see the rest of the cons the more i play with it.. but Morthos, the Revenant Tiefling Ardent will be old-school CB for now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452307938318981682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-15398852825466252912010-11-16T11:29:33.900-08:002010-11-16T11:29:33.900-08:00You can't upload your own custom portraits.

Too bad.<br /><br />Ability scores doesn't generally seem to be the only place where a click causes long (up to 20 second) delays -- so far while choosing powers, backgrounds, and browsing magic items I have experienced the same.<br /><br />The power cards are ugly.<br /><br />It's like browsing a tutorial *every* time. Enough "what's your play style" horse shit, just give me a list of classes.SAWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245295616942643200noreply@blogger.com
