Jul 14, 2010 19:13:59 In the Character Builder, I maintain a campaign file which allows/disallows various things from the various sources. (Character builder's Manage/Campaign Settings tab).

Please add the ability to selectively add or remove the errata. It was never a problem before, but I want the 4e Magic Missile back. It was never a problem before either. I have a feeling that it'll be more of an issue for me in the coming months, as Essentials rewrites everything. If this happens and I am not happy with the changes, I will need a mechanism to "opt out" of individual changes. Without this capability the Character Builder will become more burdensome than useful, and when that happens I will stop using (and paying for) it.

I imagine I'm not alone with these thoughts, so do yourself a favor and put this feature in before it becomes an issue.

Aug 09, 2010 3:27:53 The 'house rule' options don't integrate very well. Since the alternative to having the ability to switch off errata you don't like for your campaign is to simply cancel you DDI subscription, I'd think this'd be a really good idea for WotC to jump on.

I agree. Besides, it's not errata - it's content updates. And since I can disable other updates, why not these?
