Armor Selection Problem

Dec 04, 2010 21:52:00 So I'm trying to use the Character Builder to make a high level fighter. He's actually pretty stealthy, and as such, I would like to select Flickersight Hide for him. However, it's not listed under hide armor at all. It's not listed under leather armor either. It's only listed under cloth, even though the entry for the flickersight property in the character builder lists hide and leather under its entry. Can anybody shed some light on this or how to bypass it?

Dec 05, 2010 3:51:51 This is a (forum-)known issue, which seems to be related to the builder not parsing armour type lists correctly (Cloth, leather, hide doesn't work where Cloth, Leather, Hide does). No workaround has yet been discovered.

Hey voila you have an extra power card (woo hoo!) print out character sheet and annotate with pen or pencil the apprporiate resistances bonus to saving throw etc on character sheet.

Hey I didn't say it was a good workaround
