== Character Builder now web-based tool as of November 16 ==

Will we be able to import the data from CB after it goes web-based? --[[User:Astromath|Astromath]] 02:11, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

WotC issued a notice today that the next release of Character Builder would be entirely web based.  While there are benefits to this, it also means that character files will be saved on your Wizards account.  Initially, there will not be an ability to export character builder files.  So the functionality of the Combat Manager will be reduced for a while, I'm afraid.  Also, they don't sound like they plan to update Monster Builder until they can put out a web based version of IT, either.  -- DarkSir

Well I agree that this decision on their end makes it difficult. At least the current incarnation of it will remain, and at least the manager will allow us to input the characters manually if needed. As far as the monsters, while it may not be updated the program still works at least. So, there's that. -- Gorstagg

Ok, now that the new CB is out, I can get back into dealing with what we have to work with.  I'm going to keep my hopes up that the character export options will be implemented soon.  I have no doubt that the format will change somewhat when it does.  Ah well, we'll deal with that as it comes. -- DarkSir
