Stand alone?

You can use the downloader to get any content that is available to non-subscribers and make characters using that. Otherwise, not a lot since unlike Pathfinder and other systems they do not have a license agreemen with WOTC.
 
I use the 4E data set all the time, I do have a DDI account, but if you do not and did not want one you could add the content yourself. Other opitions would be to have a one Month DDI account and get your content for that point then add information from the new books as they come out. Over all HL is, IMO, the best character development software on market.
 
Well, 4e just discontinued Character Builder (They have the online one for DDI Members, but it's horribly slow and runs like shit.)

Rhat said, even when they had the Character Builder, it didn't support any houserules, or adding new options, whereas HL Does.

And HL is Arguably the most useful character builder I've ever used, though it has a bit of a learning curve.

The final advantage of HL over the online D&D Character builder, is that if you discontinue your DDI Subscription, you can still use all of the data that you dled. - And being DDI Based, you dont have to wait for lonewolf to enter the data in, the wotc people will enter the data.

That said, there's a reason that HL 4e comes with The complete Savage Worlds game and the toolkit.
 
Oh yeah, the 1 month ddi and do the download there.

Ok, good points!

Thanks for the info!

If I keep getting into D&D 4e, this will be very good to have.

thanks
 
Well I had a few more 4e sessions and it's an ok game but we primarily play Pathfinder and 3.5. (To which I've already ordered my Hero Lab cd and I'm going to go with Pathfinder)

So I think I'm going to unload my D&D 4e stuff.

Thanks for all the input you guys are a great resource!
 
The DDI character builder isn't that bad. Sure, it runs slow, but it still works fairly well. It's more for people just wanting to build quick, run of the mill characters. I wouldn't suggest it for the HL crowd. Those are typically people that like to work on their characters a lot.

It also has no room for House Rules (unlike the old client version)
 
If you guys are unloading, I might be buying. And I'll give you a better price than most half-priced book stores. Let me know.
