thanks!

As we mentioned several times, that "100 character mark" refers to the length of the character name, not to the number of character slots you have. Unfortunately different things have the same name
thanks paolo, i never saw that get explained
Also,
Today's D&D Insider update addresses several bugs and stability issues, and comes with some much anticipated feature updates. You can find a more detailed list of bugs addressed here.
Character Builder
- Multiweapon selection for power cards
I fail to see where this happens ? When right-clicking on a Power Card's Character Sheet, it still read: Silverlight and i cannot do a selection myself like the CBC was.
EDITED Nevermind i found it.
Thanks for the update. Finally Inherent Bonuses ! Any news on the Core 4E Character Sheet ? Its still in process right ?

I believe this option actually is presented in the Get Equipment/Inventory section... to the right of your weapons should now be a check box to indicate whether or not you would like that particular weapon to appear on the power card.
Is there a trick to getting Feywild Guardian instead of Battle Guardian for the Eladrin Knight? I can't figure out where to choose this option.
It doesn't appear so. There should be (but isn't) a selectable option on the class screen for it. I'd report it as a bug.
My biggest bugbear though is still not right. A4 printing still cuts off the right hand side of the sheet. Before it even prints it changes the image on the screen and the right had side completely disappears.
Thanks for the update WOTC more stuff getting fixed is good !

Yeah, in the broadcast they mention that they are planning to fix this in the next update. In the mean time, changing the paper size to Letter has worked for me.

I really hope that in feature updates they can insert such an option for the Weapons Tab to choose which hand the weapon/ implement goes to.
1. No "Original" / PHB1 character sheet available. Please bring this back. I loved it;
2. Power Swap feats. While they do show up correctly in the character builder, they do not transfer to the printed character sheet (ex: I trade out Resurgent Smite for Come and Get it, Resurtgent Smite still shows on my character sheet);
3. Cavaliers with the "Call Celestial Steed" power who use an improved steed feat still only show the Celestial Warhorse on thier character sheet, not whatever steed they upgraded to. It's important to note that the stats on these upgrades also aren't in the compendium or in the character builder, so the only way to have those stats available is by printing up a copy of the Dragon article they appeared in;
4. Warforged trained in Superior Crossbows weilding a Superior Crossbow Armbow are still having that crossbow treated as a 2H weapon, instead of as a 1H weapon per the property of the Armbow. Unsure if this is for all 2H Crossbows, or just Superior Crossbows;
5. A non-essentials paladin can't retrain a utility power to get the 4th level Cavalier utility "Summon Steed". Unsure if this is endemic to retraining from non-Essentials to Essentials or just isolated to this instance.
I've tried printing to my usual printer and to pdf via Cute PDF, but it isn't doing anything.
Just me?
Mine seems to print ok once ive set up the A4 printout workarounds.
Thanks for the info.
I'll try on my home computer to see if it is an issue with my work computer or not.
Thanks

Please! Pretty Please fix item 3 and 5 on the next update. It is very annoying not having that on my standard paladin's character sheet.
Have they put up the new assassin yet on the character builder? That was from #394, and should have been up last month. Unless I'm just missing it somewhere?
No, they pulled a switcheroo on us -- apparently the new assassin build does not become official (or available in the Character Builder) until Heroes of Shadow is published next month.

It was a preview from the book being released next month. So I would assume it will be included in the May update.

A switcheroo would imply that something was put in it's place. More like the rug being pulled out from under us.

Number 3 definitely works for me. I just made a new Cavalier and selected the feature and feat at level 4 and my battle tiger shows up on my sheet. And number 5 never should have been available to non-Essentials Paladins. The power was meant to be taken in place of a Cavalier class feature, so the non-Essentials Paladin can't give up Pace of the Virtuous Charger to take it. Also, if you look at the utility now, it's an un-leveled utility so the Paladin definitely can't retrain another utility to take it.

Actually next month we're syncing up the book release with the DDI release, so you'll get Heroes of Shadow content in the Character Builder on April 19th.

Thanks Trevor this is good news, i am happy about the sync. Will it eventually apply to Dragon/Dungeon too ?
PHB1 CS would be great too.
Can't wait to test A4 printing!
EDIT: Guess I'll have to wait the next month's A4 print fix...
EDIT: Guess I'll have to wait the next month's A4 print fix...
You probably already know this but there's a workaround half-fix:
Go to your print properties and set the paper size to "letter" but "resize to fit A4". It's different on each printer, but it worked for us.

will the new racial attribute bonuses released yesterday be included in that update as well?
The new Essentials books do away with masterwork armor in favor of a rising AC for armors of higher levels. However, the new inherent bonus option does not factor in the rising AC for the enhancement bonus, which I assumed it would. This is particularly problematic because the enhancement-less masterwork armors are not included in the new builder.
However, I would not like to see the enhancement-less masterwork armors put back in. What I would like to see is the armor bonus of high level characters using the standard enhancement rules go up like magic armors now do.
Thank you!
Whatever, there are better alternatives to this online character builder.
Really? I know of nothing that is legal, does all the math, and has current rules.
Mind you, I still am using the old CB becasue it is still superior even without the fully-current rules. But that's not a very good solution given the lack of currency for the rules.
BTW: I want the weapon displays for powers fixed - a monk has no way to supress showing ki focus (if equipped) or a second weapon (if equipped) for powers. It simply won't let you. All I want to see is my Ki Club.
My powers really should only show the Ki Club and the dagger I carry for ranged basic atacks. All the rest is just clutter and I can't suppress it like I could in the old builder. ...sigh...

I agree that the online CB is still not ready for prime time.
So how many more months (or years) are we going to have to wait to get an online character builder that will give us an actual 4th edition Character Sheet?
Well there is an arguement that says it does. It provides an essentials character sheet and a sheet that WOTC clearly believes is a 4ed character sheet. My group uses both with no problems so i really dont see what the issue is here.

In your opinion. There are a lot of people on the forums who are using it with no major problems. It is certainly no worse than the old builder and is starting now to move to being better.
I guess the old quote "you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't please all the people all of the time" holds true with the character builder.
Thank you.
One thing we've noticed is the power card for Magic Missile doesn't print any attack or damage information on it. Has this been at all addressed before? If not then I would like to bring it to the attention of the people that be to address it in the next update please?
Thank you.

Also tried with a lower-level cavalier who has the tiger, and that one didn't work either...
Hey Trevor, what's the Multiweapon selection for power cards that was in the update exactly ?
In the invintory screen (scroll to the right). You can select which weapons show up on power cards.
One thing we've noticed is the power card for Magic Missile doesn't print any attack or damage information on it. Has this been at all addressed before? If not then I would like to bring it to the attention of the people that be to address it in the next update please?

Magic Missile doesn't have an attack roll.

I disagree. The article still has the mount as a paladin level 4 utility. The fact that it doesn't say that in the character builder is part of the problem. The warlock level 4 utility is selectable by other warlocks (at least it was before the update, I don't know about now). If the old paladin is not meant to have that mount, they need to change it in the article not the charactre builder. The character builder is not a source of rule validation.
Out of curiosity, is anyone else having a problem unchecking the "show on power cards" checkbox for an equipped off-hand item? I click, it goes away, browser briefly pauses while the file is sent to the server, and then I find it freshly checked as thought nothing has changed.
Annoying, ain't it?
You cannot "uncheck" a Ki Focus that is equipped either.
The old way was far superior - I hope they can figure out a way to get the equivalent functionality.

Mine seems to be working for everything but the Silver Dragon. I made a 21st level character who took all the steed feats (the page only showed the Warhorse, the Battle Tiger, and the top few lines of the Behemoth, so I think there's a bug there too, but the next one always moved up after I deselected the feat that was showing the mount on the page) and they all appeared except for the stats on the Silver Dragon.

I think you meant to quote me, and I checked the article and you are right that it does list the utility as a Paladin Utility 4. However, I believe that it was meant to be a Cavalier only power since it requires that you give up a Cavalier class feature to be able to take it.

Hmm... Maybe the issue is in retraining the feat for the next progression at the appropriate tier that's the issue. Battletiger, retrained for pegasus in paragon, retrained for dragon in epic...
they dont equip you have to just manually write in the augmented damage
Is that something that is going to be fixed?

I don't think you have to retrain at all. When I was testing I didn't retrain, I selected the Battle Tiger feat at 4, the Behemoth and Pegasus at 11 and 12 respectively, and the Silver Dragon at 21. It did show the Warhorse, Battle Tiger and a bit of the Behemoth but then the page was cut off so the powers page could start. Then I took away the Battle Tiger feat and gave the character Improved Initiative, and the page showed the Warhorse, the Behemoth, and a bit of the Pegasus.

It's important to note that the stats on these upgrades also aren't in the compendium or in the character builder, so the only way to have those stats available is by printing up a copy of the Dragon article they appeared in;
4. Warforged trained in Superior Crossbows weilding a Superior Crossbow Armbow are still having that crossbow treated as a 2H weapon, instead of as a 1H weapon per the property of the Armbow. Unsure if this is for all 2H Crossbows, or just Superior Crossbows;
5. A non-essentials paladin can't retrain a utility power to get the 4th level Cavalier utility "Summon Steed". Unsure if this is endemic to retraining from non-Essentials to Essentials or just isolated to this instance.
Number 3 definitely works for me. I just made a new Cavalier and selected the feature and feat at level 4 and my battle tiger shows up on my sheet. And number 5 never should have been available to non-Essentials Paladins. The power was meant to be taken in place of a Cavalier class feature, so the non-Essentials Paladin can't give up Pace of the Virtuous Charger to take it. Also, if you look at the utility now, it's an un-leveled utility so the Paladin definitely can't retrain another utility to take it.
Didn't work for the Silver Dragon.
Also tried with a lower-level cavalier who has the tiger, and that one didn't work either...
Mine seems to be working for everything but the Silver Dragon. I made a 21st level character who took all the steed feats (the page only showed the Warhorse, the Battle Tiger, and the top few lines of the Behemoth, so I think there's a bug there too, but the next one always moved up after I deselected the feat that was showing the mount on the page) and they all appeared except for the stats on the Silver Dragon.
I disagree. The article still has the mount as a paladin level 4 utility. The fact that it doesn't say that in the character builder is part of the problem. The warlock level 4 utility is selectable by other warlocks (at least it was before the update, I don't know about now). If the old paladin is not meant to have that mount, they need to change it in the article not the charactre builder. The character builder is not a source of rule validation.
I think you meant to quote me, and I checked the article and you are right that it does list the utility as a Paladin Utility 4. However, I believe that it was meant to be a Cavalier only power since it requires that you give up a Cavalier class feature to be able to take it. Therefore I think that the article is the one that's wrong and that the character builder isn't being buggy here.
Woops! I did mean to quote you. I read that article to mean that the alternate feature gives you that power. This is the same for the Hexblade. They get the unseen servant as a class feature, but PHB warlocks can take it as a 4th level utility. If they do mean for it to be Cavaliers only (God! I hope not), then they really need to make that more clear.

Well in this case the Lesser Planar Ally power isn't given "instead of" another class feature of the Hexblade, that's why I think that other Warlocks can take it. In the case of the Paladin, it's instead of, and that's why I think it was intended for Cavaliers to only be able to take. Wizards definitely needs to let us know what their take on this is, and they should update the article if the article is at fault.
Magic Missile doesn't have an attack roll.
Is that something that's changed since the original 4e Players Handbook? Is it assumed an automatic hit then?
One thing we've noticed is the power card for Magic Missile doesn't print any attack or damage information on it. Has this been at all addressed before? If not then I would like to bring it to the attention of the people that be to address it in the next update please?
Thank you.
You should submit a request (bug report) directly to WotC, officially, (not through the discussion boards).
Ok, thank you. I'm still kinda new to all this so thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Yes. Though there's really little reason for them to have changed it. Nothing was wrong with the old version.
Not that there is anything wrong with the new one either. IMO, the new one is more interesting, but it could of just been a new spell.

Yes, and don't use the old damage expression with the auto-hit rule. Check the new entry in the compendium. It does 2+Int mod at first level and benefits from your implements enhancement bonus, but nothing else (weapon foucs, dragon shards, anything really) because it does not have a "damage roll".

There are 1 or 2 things that will work on it.
But yea, the vast majority of things either increase "damage rolls", or happen "on a hit".
Character Builder
- Multiweapon selection for power cards
Sigh. Selectable at the Weapon (excluding Unarmed!) level NOT per Power Card [as Offline CB].
Hopefully this cheap hack won't replace the community desired selection per Power Card.
Online CB - A wish-meat sandwich NOW with Mustard!
The only other bug is when I try to give my 15th level druid his free rituals - I'll hit the market place button, hit the bonus items button, and then I'm shown a list of all the rituals, alchemical formulas, and martial practices only it's not scrollable and I can't select anything. It doesn't lock up, so I can switch to other sections in the market place and back to the character creation stuff. I did create the character as starting at 15th level. I have no idea if that affects this or not, but it's always pertinent to throw in that kind of information.
Anybody else running into stuff like this?
Has anyone else noticed that there is no option for purchasing non magical weapons in the marketplace? I reported this as a bug.
Hmm... Maybe the issue is in retraining the feat for the next progression at the appropriate tier that's the issue. Battletiger, retrained for pegasus in paragon, retrained for dragon in epic...
I don't think you have to retrain at all. When I was testing I didn't retrain, I selected the Battle Tiger feat at 4, the Behemoth and Pegasus at 11 and 12 respectively, and the Silver Dragon at 21. It did show the Warhorse, Battle Tiger and a bit of the Behemoth but then the page was cut off so the powers page could start. Then I took away the Battle Tiger feat and gave the character Improved Initiative, and the page showed the Warhorse, the Behemoth, and a bit of the Pegasus.
You have to retrain if you want the better tier feat. Just white-boarding here, since I obviously have no idea where all the bugs are coming from.
you can buy non magical items. if you sort by level, the non magic items should be at the top
I'm aware of that. I tried that, and there were no mundane items showing up when I tried it last night. The first item in each category was a +1. I tried creating several characters and buying equipment, and it was that way each time. I even chose the Build A Quick Essentials Character and let it choose everything for me. It equipped the character with mundane items, but when I went back to the marketplace they weren't available to purchase. The only thing I can figure is something didn't load right when I was using it last night because it's working correctly now.
Can anyone confirm whether non-essentials paladins can take Summon Steed and the steed feats, officially as a rule or in the online builder itself?
thanks.
I am pretty sure the addition of a level to the power in the Dragon magazine was a mistake and that the compendium version is correct. If you read the article you have to give up a class power of the Cavalier to even gain the power.
It has been reported for almost 3 months now and nothing has been said or changed so I am pretty sure that I am correct in saying that the intent was not for the power to be a leveled utility power.

To offer the converse view, by the rules as written the O-Paladin CAN take Call Celestial Steed in any utility slot after level 6, because the power has a level in the compiled Dragon 393, which is the official rules source. Currently, absent any errata, the CB and Compendium list this power incorrectly.
As Mith says, it's been reported and not fixed since the release of D393 on the digital tools - but then, so have many, many other bugs and errors, so that's not exactly a reliable metric.
Mith: if the power wasn't intended to be accessible to O-Paladins, why was the prerequisite of 'Cavalier' removed between the initial article and the final compilation? That, even with the Paladin level on the power, would have effectively restricted it only to Cavaliers, but they took it out. Why, if not to make it accessible to O-Paladins?
And yes, if they wanted to limit it to only the Cavalier, it would have been very easy - just leave the prereqs as they were in the preview. Or remove the level.
This issue is listed as fixed and is not. I have printed off one of my players' sheets for tonights game and it's still cutting off the character details and equipment page, which in addition it has only printed half of.
I know you are all busy, but for those of us who use A4 as standard can you please try to fix this.
I also appologise if my grammar is poor or my sentences too long, I'm in a hurry.
Cheers, Alan.
I'll put in the bug report if it's reproducible to somebody else, but want to make sure I'm not missing something first.
Bug report later.
Only time it doesn't come up is when I try to take it without the WIS 13 pre-req.
Worked just fine for me several times, FR, Home Game, etc.

Let's clarify: I can take the Spirit-Talker feat, but can't select the Dark Sun power. The two from PHB2 and the two from PrP are available, but not the Dark Sun powe (Spirit's Wrath).
Firstly, this is still broken. Secondly, why can't you guys test this yourself? It's fairly easy, just set your regional settings to UK and your printer defautls to A4 then try printing, it will chop off the right edge.
This is getting really annoying having to workaround this every time I print a character sheet, can you please get this one fixed soon?
Printing on A4 Paper size will not resize correctly, and some gets cut off. (Can't Test)

Complaining here is fine, but you should also submit a bug report if you really want it fixed.

Agreed - it seems like it ought to be a relatively simple thing.

This is on the known problem list.
Supposed to be taken care of this last update, was postponed to the next one, hopefully they will finally correct it.
