I apologise if this has already been asked for / answered.
The group I play with tends to want to stick with core rules only for most of our games. As a result, it would be an advantage to be able to limit the content sources for feats, powers etc, or perhaps a 'core' and 'core + DDI content' option. I realise that you could just check the source type when selecting the items, it's just handy to be able to filter that list

I think that you can also save that setting as a 'campaign' (as the GM) and have your players import those settings, but that functionality is not available in the beta.

Nov 11, 2008 19:00:42 I asked this earlier and was informed that the "restriction" tab information will be tiered. This way if you want to remove a single problem feat/power/item rather than an entire source you can. This is the best upcoming feature that I could have asked for.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I don't see a "finish" tab or any sub tab that lets me filter out content sources. In my campaign, we're limiting our characters to PHB and PHB2 source material and it would be nice if we could use the character builder without having to be tempted by abilities we don't have access to.

[edit] Durr. Campaign Setting tab. Got it.
