I tend to construct my own Character sheets and Power sheets as well, typed font is easier than otherwise, however, I usually input things on the sheet by hand afterwards. I usually use size 8-10 font (I can read small writing easily) and so in theory could fit a LOT of powers on two sheets.

I just spent a good hour doing up power sheets for a couple of my characters.

I still like to print off a nice sheet and fill it in personally however - it forces me to make sure I am doing it right.

I find that for the majority, Electronically generated sheets are fine. I have just met the minority for whom it has resulted in a lack of rules understanding, innate laziness with numbers for their powers, and know SEVERAL people that were fine in LG, who now take extra long/extra space as a result of powercards...

I am always far too pessimistic however. And whilst in the hands of a competent gamer, these tools add a lot of value - in the hands of a struggling or average gamer, I have seen them diminish said player's capability over time.

The space of the power cards is a really big pet peeve of mine, I have said it a thousand times, but there are some players that are just really bugging a few of us atm, with those darn things... (Will go unnamed) - It's really a player issue, I can't help it if the cards appear to be the enabler though...

Yes, but like the FAQ, CS answers are not binding nor is CS considered an official rules source for the campaign. So unless it's in a book, in the Errata updates, or in the Compendium, it doesn't count and we are required to use the most up to date rules source.

What the heck are we (well, those who actually do it. As I don't have a DDi subscription I have no way of knowing what it says unless someone prints it out and shows it to me :P) doing treating a rules source as binding when even CS admits it shouldn't be used in such a way?
