I used the Demo version of the Character Builder for the encounters program however I noticed that I couldn't create any Dark Sun characters or use any Psionics. Is there any reason for this? Will the new character builder allow me to create a lvl 1 Dark Sun character in the demo?

 I have the books, but a lot of my players are new and don't have access to all the books. I was hoping to set them up with the character builder to simplify the process of creating characters for our Dark Sun campaign.

If i remember correctly, the demo version of the CB only includes levels 1-3 of PHB material, and nothing else.  As for the upcoming web CB, it will include Dark Sun content, but there has been no mention of any demo version at all.  If there is though, I would suspect it would also only include PHB material.

Actually, I believe the demo version of the CB includes the updates up to, and including, PHB2, but nothing after.  Psionics came in PHB3, and Dark Sun was only released a couple of months ago, so they're obviously not in it.  And yeah, it's limited to level 3.

As far as a demo of the new CB, WotC has stated that there will NOT be one at launch, but it's one of the things they're looking into.
