I've been poking around the CB for some time now, and I can't really recreate my dragonborn warlord in it. Why? Because at level 1 I chose Armor Proficiency (Scale), and I can't pick it here. I've been searching and searching, and it doesn't exist in the program. Worse yet, I can't even houserule it! Every time I try to add a houseruled Feat, it doesn't do anything. I can add a houserule class, language, power, and race called "Armor Proficiency (Scale)", but not a feat. Is there a way to have the CB ignore the fact that I'm not proficient so I can just take some throwaway feat and edit it out later on the character sheet? A lot of work, but I'd like to use my character in the CB, dangit.

Okay, sorry for the double post, but I fixed the problem...strangely.

I couldn't add the feat in the normal "Custom Rules" section, but I could add it by clicking the little house in the top right of the Feat selection window...but the wierd part is that now the CB recognizes that I'm actually proficient in scale armor. Is the program designed to recognize and parse feat names so when I type "Armor Proficiency (Scale)" it knows what to do?! I thought if you houseruled something there was no rules interpretation for it and you had to change everything yourself...I'm so confused...

To help us figure out the problem please do this. Open your character in the CB, click the manage tab at the top, then select the summary tab below. Copy the text there to this thread.

Indeed, normally, the only reason for this to occur is 1) You don't qualify, 2) You already have it

Correct.

I can try helping you with the Character Creation part:

1. Armour Proficiency (Scale) requires Armour Proficiency (Chain)
- Warlords start with Armour Proficiency (Chain), go to No. 2...

2. Armour Proficiency (Scale) has a requirement of Str 13, Con 13
- The character you are rolling has to have BOTH Str 13 and Con 13

It's likely, being a Dragonborn Warlord, you would have Str 13, but have you checked that you have Con 13 as well?

Hope this helps and happy gaming, superninjaderek.

Yeah, I know it is in there because my dragonborn warlord has it. I had to play with my stats to make sure that I qualified for it, but once I did, it showed up correctly.
