Funny, I thought part of what we were paying for was a Character Builder with all the things that Wizards designed.

Even the old CB was piss poor at managing houseruled creations. Sure, you could create a houseruled feat and save it in the old CB. You would still need to account for it by hand, because the old CB might let you take the Feat, but it would not account for the Feat in any of its math. The same is true of every other home creation.

Wizards has stated their intention to allow greater houseruling functionality, but in order for that functionality to be truly worthwhile, the builder will need to incorporate those houseruled creations into its formulae, which is something I don't really see happening.
