er i can't seem to get the power paladin utility power Call Celestial Steed
on a cavalier or hybrid cavalier - can some one check with theirs and see if this needs to be fixed.

Look on the Class tab. It defaults to 'PACE OF THE VIRTUOUS CHARGER'. Just unselect that and choose the far superior option.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but is there a way to modify the 'rules' of the character builder? I'm running a campaign for friends soon and I'd like everyone to get a feat per level rather than a feat per 2 levels.

You can make feats that grant feats.
Have a feat that grants you some feats. It grants you a feat at level 1 (to replace the one it costs) and a bonus feat at every odd level (including 1st, 11th and 21st).

Should be fairly obvious how to tweak it to your exact preferences. You could also make it a background or something, but it would be harder to refund it.

Modified, this is also useful for those "Get a free Expertise feat" situations while avoiding that nasty old "Houseruled" symbol.

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<D20Rules game-system="D&amp;D4E"> 
	<RulesElement name="Bonus Feat" type="Feat" internal-id="ID_WHATEVER_FEAT_001" source="Custom" revision-date="XX/XX/XX XX:XX:XX" >

Might want to change the ID from "WHATEVER" or not I don't care.

Cool got that now... How come a Hybrid Cavalier can't select it? It doesn't say anything in the hybrid cavalier rules that says anything either way.

Bug/Typo: All the shiny new ~~items~~ base armour types have their source listed as PHB.

Edit: Also might be worth noting the proficiency requirements in the description since the nonproficiency doesn't show up.

Edit 2: Also, they all seem to be in Base instead of being in Items. Same for the feats?

Edit 3: I want to check out a Thing. Where can I find the character builder's unmodified XML file?

Hey Tiv -- the Mordenkainen's stuff mostly says "Mordendainen's". Could use a find and replace for the K. Also, the Armor Proficiencies don't appear to be setup (not sure if you're done with that, looks like there's just placeholders). Thought I'd mention it in case that part had been missed.

I just noticed that my druid's Primal Guardian class aspect seems to serve as a prereq for the Dark Sun theme Primal Guardian powers. Kind of silly for them to name them the same, but is there an easy way to fix it?

If you're implying they'll 'cheat' by houseruling other stuff, not really. You can click on "Status: Houseruled" under the portrait/name and it'll tell you what all has been houseruled at the bottom under "Character Status."

Oh! I wasn't aware of that. And I'm not worried about them cheating on purpose, just cheating on accident (or perhaps even cheating themselves on accident). Knowing this is useful though.

Entilzha4: Feb 17, 2011

Hey guys,

I found a couple of typos and a minor issue.

For the typos: The various Hexblade encounter powers have a typo in them: "modifire" instead of "modifier" for the 4[W] line of the power. As such, the builder doesn't display it properly.

EDIT: Only one power wasn't displaying properly: Wield the Warp. That was because it was missing the word "at" before "23rd level". /EDIT

Here is the fix:

For the minor issue: It involves the Armor Specialization (Chainmail) feat. If you take Eladrin Armor and Armor Specialization (Chainmail), suddenly you have a +1 armor check penalty.

Here is the fix:

Captain Walker: Apr 7, 2009; Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there

Bug report: As an Executioner, taking the Shadow Master feat does not grant you an O-Assassin daily. No matter what I do, the Shadow Master power selection option shows the message "no legal options available". This isn't really important of itself as O-Assassin powers are poo poo all around, but creative use of Rogue multiclassing could net me Knockout at level 9... Perhaps this has already been addressed, but I'm on a school computer without SALR installed so forgive me if I don't want to dig through 80+ pages.

I got a bug report guys.

All of my characters with classes that have Athletics as a class skill no longer can train Athletics, and previously trained is showing up as houseruled. Only when I select a background trait that gives me Athletics as a class skill does it become available for training. Affecting new characters.

I cannot seem to duplicate this bug. Delete all of your .part files, and run the builder again to see if it fixes things. Maybe you have an incomplete download of a .part file.

Curiously I no longer seem to have the "Customize" option when right-clicking defenses on the character sheet viewer (which has posed something as a problem as I no longer have the Helm of Able Defense). Apparently it was done away with in one of the recent patches. Might there be a way of getting it back easily (and to have option for damage as well) as it was a very useful feature for applying conditional, yet persistent modifiers than the builder wouldn't otherwise pick up.

Just click in the box with the total for AC/Ref/whatever. It'll put a cursor there. You can backspace the value and put in what you want instead.

Right now it seems like the new weapons from MME are showing up in red even though the martial weapons should show up in black for my Paladin, but all the new armors are showing up in black instead of red since the character doesn't have the feats for them. I'm not sure if anyone else is having the same problem.

Armour shows up black if you are proficient with its base type (e.g. leather for studded leather, scale for splint mail etc.) and red if you aren't; the proficiency feats have no bearing on this, though the penalties to Reflex and attack rolls for wearing armour you are not proficient with should be calculated correctly. This is due to how the LCB works and probably can't be circumvented, but it's really just a cosmetic issue anyway.

As for the new weapons showing up red (which I can confirm), it's likely because they haven't been added to the ID_INTERNAL_PROFICIENCY_SIMPLE_MELEE and ID_INTERNAL_PROFICIENCY_MILITARY_MELEE elements yet.

Just curious to see if anyone has had a chance to look at the problem with Hybrid Ranger|Sentinels having an issue with the Companions tab. Currently, when I create the character, even as a hybrid Sentinel|Ranger (without the Ranger Beast Mastery stuff), the Companion tab gives me an extra box which holds all the same values as the box already in place. If I make a change in either box (name in the top box, for instance) it makes the same change in the bottom box.

I posted about this a while back but I don't remember seeing anyone comment on it.

I'm pretty sure it's just the 'Racial Utilities and Spellbooks' paragraph that's removed, not the entire article.

Spellbooks and Racial Utility Powers: The
wizard�s spellbook class feature allows you to add
two wizard utility powers to your spellbook when you
reach a level where you would normally gain a utility
power (2nd, 6th, 10th, and so on). If you choose to
take a racial utility power, you do not add any wizard
utility powers to your spellbook at that level. If you
later use retraining to take a wizard utility power
in place of a racial utility power, you do not add any
powers to your spellbook.

Something seems to be messed up with implement powers checking if you have a valid implement... I noticed while changing feats around for my polearm momentum wizard that he still had the same bonus to hit when I switched out all feats allowing the use of heavy blades as implements. He should have lost the enhancement bonus for not using an implement he was proficient with, but no, no change.

So, to test further, I made a new character- an eladrin wizard. I chose Class, Race, hit auto-choose on stats, selected the Arc Lightning at-will power, and went straight to shopping for gear. I bought a +2 magic gouge, and equipped it. The character then had a +2 enhancement bonus to hit and damage with Arc Lightning.

Am I crazy or is something here seriously wrong?

I think it's always been this way, the builder will assume that the thing held in your main hand is an implement for the purposes of calculating damage/hit/etc regardless if whether or not it's actually an approved implement.

This wasn't always broken, much like the builder failing to interpret powers using the off-hand weapon correctly wasn't; I believe the glitch was introduced sometime prior to the LCB's last official update. It's annoying though, and I'm pretty sure it's nothing that can (currently?) be fixed through CBLoader either.

I am using no mods or homebrews. I have CBLoader v1.3.0 and I am using the vanilla WOTC.index file. When did you make the fix and do you know if it got incorporated into the main distribution?

Mmm, this mostly works (for defenses that is) though it doesn't allow me to change the previous notes I made on what the defense modifier comes from. It could do for now, though, since it'll keep me from remaking the character from scratch. Thanks!

You're right. I remember the update that this happened, when they implemented the rule that you can use any implement you are proficient with with any power. From that point onward, the implement issue has been in there.

And there doesn't appear to be any way of fixing it short of getting the source code for the builder executable, which I doubt will happen any time soon.
