Thread for feedback on the "My Characters" module available on your profile page. From the announcement:


Introducing a new way to display your D&D characters on your profile page.  The “My Characters” module allows you to display mini-profiles of your D&D characters in your Wizards Community profile, either by importing details directly from the D&D Character Builder or by manually typing them into a form.  


To add this module to your profile page, use the Drag & Drop menu at the bottom left column of your profile page. Click the “on” button. Scroll down to “My Characters” in the list of modules, and click the “Add” button. You can now drag the module into a new position in any column. When you are done, click “Off” to save your changes. Now click “New Character” to start adding characters.

Very nice, and a handy way to share characters with other users.

If I may report a bug, however, it appears to show equipment that my character used to have but no longer possesses, as well as his existing equipment.  Everything else looks good though.

I like it.
OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player. 
3E challenged the character, not the player. 
Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM. 
That's why I love 4E.

I dig it! Now get back to the Monster Builder!

Seriously, very cool addition. However, I can't seem to find it. If I enable drag and drop, I do not see a "My Characters" module. Between which options is it showing up for others? I tried logging in and out, going into the CB to see if it woke something up, etc. No luck so far.

I would say that it needs a place to insert a theme, but otherwise very nice.

Alphastream: Check on your profile, not the "Home" page. It's the very last option to enable/disable.

Well, this is very strange. It seems to have stripped the enchantments from my bard's weapon and armour. He's still fine in the builder, and my monk doesn't have this problem.

For me, I had to turn Drag and Drop on then off befiore it showed up. It defaults to the middle column at the very bottom, below any comments that you may have.

it handled my newest characters fine, the old imported guys from the old, decrepit offline CB were 10 kinds of screwed up.  Then again, I never revisited them in the new CB to fix stuff like the new race modifiers and such so it was probably naive to expect them to not be.

I am not sure where the mistake is coming from: it mistakenly lists lay on hands as a class feature for my paladin, but correctly lists ardent vow as a power.

And once again it would be nice to boost the 20 character limit in character builder.  For those of us who write handbooks, 20 characters is not enough for everything we need to keep up to date.

I think the OCB considers the whole 'Lay on Hands'/'Ardent Vow'/'Virtue's Touch' thing to be a single class feature (that it calls 'Lay on Hands') with just a choice of powers, rather than as three separate class features from which you choose one. IIRC, the appropriate button in the OCB says 'Choose a Lay on Hands option' (rather than, say, 'Choose a paladin special power option').

I think that is right since if I remember right it reads that way in the VT.

I just checked the compendium and it lists lay on hands, and only lay on hands, as a class feature in the compendium.  The paladin entry mentions that you can take ardent vow or virtues touch instead, but doesn't include descriptions of those powers in the entry.  It also says you have channel divinity, but doesn't name or describe the paladin's channel divinity powers anywhere in the entry.
