Dec 09, 2008 20:45:14 After looking at this application, I am guessing it doesn't support the 3.5 system? Is there any plan's to support 3.5? I am guessing no? God tell me I'm wrong

If you don't have it, the installer should install it for you. If you're having any problems at all, I suggest you get the latest version of .net 3.5 from Microsoft.

Dec 09, 2008 22:17:45 Character Builder doesn't support 3.5. In other news, the world is round, contrary to prior rumors, and heart attacks are unhealthy.

It's a 4e tool. It's not going to support 3.5 ever.

Edit: If you were talking about .net framework, I rescind my snarkiness and blame coincidence of version numbers.

After seeing your reply, I'm sure I was the one that missed which 3.5 was bring referred to. Guess I spent too much time answering .net questions. =)

Why would you think that a company that is no longer making/supporting 3.x edition have their character builder support it?

Dec 10, 2008 11:03:08 There's no reason to think so*. Wouldn't have stopped it from being cool for the many 3.5 fans out there, and I would hardly blame such fans for wishful thinking, no matter how unlikely. So long as they don't blame Wizards for having to exist in the real world.

*and many reasons to think otherwise. Not only is Wizards explicitly not supporting 3.5 any more, the quantity of 3.5 material, and the mechanical complexity of that material, makes a character generator like the one their trying to build here extremely difficult.

Aren't there some excellent third party software tools around for 3.5?

Dec 10, 2008 12:42:26 Yup. Lots, and lots and lots.

:D

EDIT - This isn't meant to be snarky and/or condescending, but it gave me an opportunity to use the "Let me Google that for you" site, which I have been waiting to do for ages.

Have you tried clicking it? Unfortunately, at some stage & character gets garbled and it is less funny than it should be...

Yes, having owned E-Tools, it was very unintuitive and clunky to use (especially feats as more and more were added and more and more were not options that were available). I do prefer the CB personally.
