Well it woudl seem that WOTC is taking as much time as they like for this one! I just checked DDI CB and no update and I can not find any info as to why they did not due the "late" update. Its b/c they know how bad we want to make Dark Sun Characters!

I was hoping we'd see an update on Tuesday, but no dice so far - looks like they haven't done an update since the start of August. Has anyone seen them post when they plan to do the next one?

The next update should be next Tuesday

Nuts No Dark Sun in the Character builder that just is unfair

well it looks like I may start losing sleep to try and get these races in.

Yup, looks like it's up there. Time to see what's changed!

StanC, where did you find that news? I was watching WotC's site for it, but I never saw a mention of it, so I didn't see it until I happened to refresh the Compendium today.

So as another refugee from the DDI web tool debacle I have a few questions about the what dark sun content has been imported at this point (as it's my primary game at this point and has the most new players that need help with their characters).

I assume the new builds and feats were implemented easily enough but I would like to be sure.

Also are the themes properly implemented yet?

Jinx · November 7th, 2010, 01:32 PM

as of right now themes are not implemented via the compendium download, but you can add them your self in about 5 min.

once there added to the compendium I suspect they will also be added to Hero Lab.

Colen · November 10th, 2010, 12:52 PM

Exactly - once the data is present, I can add the appropriate code for the downloader to parse it, like I just did recently for the backgrounds. The problem with the themes is that the data isn't there in the first place for me to add.

I'll take a look at the Theme rules and see if I can add them to the 4e files, which will at least let you create them in the editor as Jinx suggests.

SAbel · November 17th, 2010, 03:46 PM

Colen,
I am just checking to see if you think that the Theme rules will be an easy fit? Also is there going to be a Dark Sun check box added for character choice or not?

Anyone have any suggestions for tweaking Dark Sun characters? Is there a way to add the additional powers that a Theme or the Psionic "cantrips" add in the campaign book? That seems to be the only thing missing from my Dark Sun builds.
