The character builder will not allow me to correct this mistake, it always shows the screwed up version even after changing, rebooting, starting the character new. I even went to the custom campaign section to create the item there, then to my surprise I cannot find the created item in any list. But when I go back to the little house symbol and recreate the item from scratch the damn screwed up version is the one that I end up getting.

Then, whenever you delete that item, it merely sets the quantity to 0 instead of deleting the item. Additionally, when you go to create the item again, it will see that you have already created the item and use the first description. What should probably actually happen: When entering a custom item, if the description is left blank, the CB should use the previous description if present. If any description is entered, the new description should overwrite the previous description. How to work around this: If you are uncomfortable editing files, make a backup! Close the Character Builder. Navigate to your documents directory. (Vista = C:\Users\\Documents, XP = C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents) Open the 'ddi' directory. Open the 'Saved Characters' directory. Find the file called .dnd4e. Open this file in Notepad. Press Ctrl+F and search for your item's name. You should see the following:
