Could we get some kinda page layout thing that lets us arrange the monster stat blocks on a page in the standard 2-column style? It wastes FAR less paper. Right now, I have to copy everything and paste it into Photoshop to arrange it manually... It's really annoying...
Granted, it's not AS annoying as pulling traps off the compendium. I need to Print-Screen, paste in Photoshop and crop for those...
Also, support for templates?
Also also, Artifacts that show what's different at each concordance and what changes their concordance SOMEwhere in DDI? I don't care where, I just want to be able to digitally look it up, and both the Char Builder and Compendium's descriptions tell me absolutely nothing about what I'm looking at. The whole reason I got DDI is so I can look at similar things next to one another. Like how feats are all in one place in the Char Builder, so I no longer have to look through every book and Dragon article to find all the feats I could take when I take one... The same for Artifacts somewhere would be great.

Yes. This drives me absolutely batty. I have 4 monsters that take up only a quarter of a page each. Why can't I just print them all on the same page?

Sometime I print one monster, and reverse the page and print the second upside down on the bottom half. Not an awesome solution, but it does save paper.

My solution is to use a word processor (I use open office), and copy the monster as "rich text", then paste it to the word processor. Then you can manually alter the size of the table for the monster, and fit several on a single page. I tend to get 4-5 monsters on a single sheet of paper that way. It also lets you delete the space wasting copyright notice and source sections.

What I do, is I copy as an image, then paste it in mspaint. Do this with all my monsters, in a layout in mspaint (when you paste a new monster, make sure you move it off of the other monsters. You'll also have to expand the window of mspaint to fit more monsters. When you print, change your print set up to print 1x1 so it fits it all to 1 page and you are good to go. I usually only do 4 -6 monsters per.

I agree with everything in this post.

I believe what you would want is an "Encounter builder" That lets you choose the monsters you want for the encounter (totals XP, encounter level, etc etc etc) and then prints out all of monsters as a whole.

I second,
We have a web-based encounter builder, but not an integrated in the Monster Builder. I suppose its one of the bubble option, but I think that if they have one up-to-date on a web-based, it would'nt be difficult to fit in the MB !
But on topic... I use the Rich-text option... That way, you can create your full-encounter sheet with maps and every other detail.
