Dec 17, 2008 1:32:10 So a couple of players gave this a try, and other then a some basic math errors, it looked promising. When the Beta came out, I decided it couldn't hurt to try it, right? Ok the down load process was annoying, but whatever.

I have a 3rd level drow rogue that I attempted to put into the build and see how it worked. My group - the one I'm a player in - rolls 4d6 drop the lowest 7 times, keep the best 6 for stats. The builder can not repoduce that. I also can not simply input in my own numbers for stats. Further I can not adjust the point buy value for generating stats, up or down. I see no value in a program designed to help build characters, but gives neither DM, nor player the ability to choose how we generate our states.

Dec 17, 2008 18:24:03 It is a lot easier to enter stats in the January version.

But yes, as the other user said, you should be able to just type stats into the white boxes on the right.
