Essentials? Encounters?

Nov 19, 2010 8:33:37 I just subscribed for the first time to D&DI specifically because I wanted access to the character builder to ease my return to D&D after 25 years. I do the Encounters and just purchased "Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms" book since I was interested in rolling a Warlock. So as I go into the Character Builder, where is the Warlock? If you do a quick Essentials build, none of the options from that book are there (Paladin, Warlock). If you select Encounters under Custom character it even says on the right panel that "Heroes of the FOrgotten Kingdoms" is allowed but again, no Warlock option.

The only way I've found to get a Warlock option is to do the Forgotten Realms option under Custom Character but then what you create doesn't follow what the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms lays out.

So I'm a bit confused as I try to sort all this out and get back into this. Is it just that they haven't added the content to it yet or am I not doing something right?

Nov 19, 2010 8:48:58 You and a few others (incluing those in my Encounters group). The issue is the books just came out this month and it takes time to integrate them into the digital format.

If they go by the schedule of 6-7 months ago, the update should be added around the first week of next month. If they follow more recent trends, who knows when we will see the updates (if ever).

Thanks!

Nov 19, 2010 14:25:55 Why did they come out the same day? I am in exactly the same boat as l8knight with starting over after a long, long delay. That's a bad argument that they can't put it online until well after the book is published. Perhaps I'm just too dense to catch the sarcasm here, but they should have the digtal data well before it hits the printers. let alone gets released. The "Encounters" build in the tool is very misleading.
