#1 schmo_samgee Feb 19, 2012 15:53:39	So I sat down with my current D&D group and they made characters and we printed out the character builder sheets.  My question is can you fill in all the extra blanks like background, theme, campaign notes, etc?  When they ranked up to level 2 I updated their character sheets but they had to write down everything they had again on the new sheets when I printed them out.

I found the information on "manager your character" but the background and theme on the details page is greyed out. Did you make regular 'Custom' characters or Essentials Only?

Gotcha there.  Next question.  Can you add quest items to the chracter's inventories?  I found all the magic items, rations, candles, etc but no quest items.  Main reason I am asking is so when they level up and I print the new character sheets they dont have to rewrite them.

I'm not sure what a 'quest item' is, so I can't answer.  You should be able to search for it using the 'Find Equipment' tab ... if not, I'm afraid I got nothin'. Edit: Name one for me, I'll see if I can find it.

Traevas's Box (he was the Dwarf whos wagon got hit in the red box starter kit).  I saw the option to search by just that kit but it returns nothing, not even magic weapons.
