On November 16, Wizards of the Coast will launch a brand new  web-based version of the D&D Insider Character Builder. The current  downloadable version will remain functional, but will no longer be  available for download or updated with content after the new version  goes live. Here are the highlights of the new Character Builder:

• New Design: Completely redesigned from top to bottom in Microsoft Silverlight as a robust character creation wizard.
• No Download: The Character Builder is served from the D&D site
• PC and Mac Compatible: Requires an Internet connection and Silverlight plug-in
• Access is easy: Just enter the D&D site, log in, and launch the Character Builder from the Tool Box or the Character Builder tools page.
• Characters in the Cloud: All characters you create are saved on our database. No need to save Character Builder files on your hard drive anymore.
• File Import: You can easily import your character s created in the previous version to the new Character Builder.
• Previous Data: Includes all character-building data you enjoyed in the previous versions.
• New Data Releases: Dark Sun and D&D Essentials data will debut with the new version.

If you have any questions about the new Character Builder or your subscription, see the FAQ or contact a Wizards of the Coast Game Support representative.
