Hello all,
(This post is related to version 2.7 of the 4e data files, which will be releasing shortly.)
There is currently a bug in the D&D Compendium, which means that 1st-level powers for Wizards cannot be accessed. Any search you make that tries to display a certain subset of wizard powers simply fails. Try it yourself on their web site - trying to view the list of wizard powers has no result, while trying to see the list of Druid powers (for example) works fine.
This means that Hero Lab's 4e downloader, which relies on the D&D Compendium to download data, cannot download certain wizard powers. We've done our best to work around this - level 2+ wizard powers are still downloaded, and if you have an older version of the 4e data, the powers will be automatically migrated from that older version. However:
People without a D&D Insider username and password will not be able to pick class powers this release.
People with a D&D Insider username and password attempting to download from the compendium for the first time will not be able to use 1st-level wizard powers in their characters.
Unfortunately, because of the Compendium bug, there is no way to work around this at the present time.
The issue has been a problem for over two weeks now, and has been reported to Wizards of the Coast, with this response:
Thank you for reporting this bug. We appreciate your help in improving our product.
We will submit your issue to our developers for review. I can not guarantee any further follow up with you about this bug but we may contact you for further information. .
We're hoping that they fix it soon, so that normal downloader service will be resumed. Until then, unfortunately wizard powers may not be available. :(
If you're currently using a previous version of the downloaded 4e data, especially if you don't have a D&D Insider username and password, you may want to avoid running the downloader this month.
Thanks for your patience, everyone.
