Nifty new feature, it'll be interesting to see how this evolves.

It is nice, I won't deny that.

However, I am compelled to ask why we are getting this little tidbit of software while we are still waiting for the completion of the Monster Builder tools, or the options we still need for the Character Builder? Wouldn't have WOTC's time been better spent finishing a product already in progress?

Thank you for the reference but I am still disappointed.

So... I noticed we can upload pictures of our characters to use with this feature, specifically any picture we've uploaded to our Profile. ...So any guesses on how long it'll be until this is possible with the CB? ^.^''

May I suggest a slight tweak in the format; that the Description section be below -- and not above -- the stats/skills section?  It gets troublesome when you start posting a rather long description and the stats/skills area gets pushed WAY down (although it's fine I guess if all you do with the Description area is put "Background: Baldur's Gate (Baldur's Gate Regional Benefit)" and maybe "Theme: Alchemist" as well).

Maybe I'm being hopeful at best, but it would be nice if this supported characters of previous editions. I'd love my Kender Handler to be better represented. As is works good enough, I suppose, but wouldn't it be neat...

Actually, this is pretty edition-neutral a feature, so long as you're editing it manually.  The auto-import-from-CB is 4E only, but that's basically because the CB is 4E only (so it's a CB issue, not an issue of this feature specifically).

EDIT: Prestige classes and other non-4E stuff could readily be entered in the Description section of the feature, if nothing else.
