Shockingly enough, I got an error the first time I tried to use it, and had to reload.  I couldn't copy the error message in order to make a bug report.  Should have screenied it I guess.  Meh well.  Working now.

Or not.  Another error as soon as I try to make a Forgotten Realms character.  Error messge below:

So far, fail so epic.

Working again.  Scroll wheel doesn't work.  Gah.  Major gah, considering the lengths of the lists.
Harrying your Prey, the Easy Way: A Hunter's Handbook - the first of what will hopefully be many CharOp efforts on my part.
The Blinker - teleport everywhere. An Eladrin Knight/Eldritch Knight.

CB != rules source.

Fails to load for me.  No error message.

What version of Silverlight do we need?  I have 3.?? installed.

It just takes a while I think.

That said, skills seem slow to calculate (atleast when tested on an imported level 30 character). Corection, everything related to math is slow, even just re-assigning your flex stat on an essentials dwarf knight.

It also cuts off the bottom of popup screens it seems, or some weird interaction with the scrollbar.

Also missing the nice summary feature of the old one.

Lol...my "Quick Essentials" thief had Crossbow Expertise AND Master at Arms, but bought a shortbow.

And apparently you can't buy weapons you're not proficient with.

My first complaint: I can't use it at all until I get home and can use my computer instead of my iPod ;-)

Ran into my first problem; I can't take a Hungry Longspear for Rakash. Only a Hungry Spear is available.
