Monthly D&D Insider Update - July 7th

Hey all. I wanted to take a couple minutes to give everyone an idea of what to expect for the July 7th D&D Insider update.

First, here’s what to expect in the Character Builder update:

[LIST]
[*]Psion Class – Early PH3 material, developed and ready to play!
[*]Eberron Player’s Guide Data.
[*]Information from May Dragon and Dungeon.
[*]Updated Hybrid rules and information.
[*]Ability to Duplicate and hide power cards.
[*]Other changes to the character sheet and power cards such as primary background information appearing in the Summary text and bold faced headers on power cards.
[/LIST]
I’m definitely looking forward to checking out the psion mechanics and playing around with different builds, and I’m guessing a lot of you feel the same. Just in time to combine it with the Kalashtar from Eberron.

While I’m excited about those changes, as a DM, the thing that got me really going was the inclusion of traps and hazards in the Compendium. That’s right – starting July 7th traps and hazards will be added and updated on a regular basis just like the rest of the crunchy information from the published material. I know this is something that a lot of us in the community have wanted, so thanks to everyone for submitting requests and feedback along those lines.

That about wraps it up for me - Just a couple more notes. As usual, you should expect to see an article with more information as we get closer to the data release on the 7th - I just wanted to share what I had at this moment. Also don’t forget - the price change happens July 2nd, so if you like what you’re seeing and you want to lock in the current price, you only have a couple days left.

Awesome, this is a happy day for DDI. I wish I could pay for another year now, but don't have the money >< But oh well I got my subscription till October I can easily save up the little bit of money to pay for another year then.

Any idea when revenants will be added to the character builder?
Combat in the 3rd Dimension - step-by-step aerial combat grid
My FLGS: Guardian Games
I want spoiler blocks back.
I want the mouseover thread previews back.
I want the awesome, varied, non-generic smileys back.
I want the 'most recent post' to be specific to forum, not category.
I want to lose the burning pink eyesores on every thread I've ever glanced at.
I want to be able to look back at previous posts in the thread while I'm writing my reply.
I want edited posts to indicate that they were edited and when to prevent confusion and chicanery.
I want to be able to set a background that doesn't just sit behind the blinding white I'm trying to get rid of.
I want a thread subscription page that isn't hidden in preferences and tells me when subscribed threads have new content.
