Hello.  I was just wondering if the sample Alternative Rewards from the DMG2 will be in the character builder?  Will it be in the next update, or later?


I hope so, and don't see any problem with including them.  The main challenge would be tracking when the power is supposed to "disappear", but that could always be controlled by the DM.


It would be nice to create custom Alternative Rewards as well, but I suppose it would make more sense to allow custom magic items first.   (Ones that update the character sheet accurately.)

They seem to be working. Let me know next tuesday when we release the update if you have any problems with them.

The alternate rewards (the Boons) do work. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to play a Rewards-only game without doing the math by hand afterwards (like the enhancement bonus to attack/damage at 2/7/12/17/22/27).


It would be nice to have be able to hit a "Rewards Only" box to automatically filter out all magic items, and leave only boons and built-in bonuses at appropriate levels.

If you go to the Manage Details tab there is a checkbox that gives those bonuses from the DMG2 at those levels you mentioned. It is new this month.


Thanks,

Wow, amazing!  Very nice job to all.  I didn't see any mechanic to track when boons expire, but as I said that could be done manually.  Thanks, keep up the great work!
