The Spirit of 4th Edition's page

Alright, dumb question, I see how to make an avatar and how to post as one (obviously) but how do I "load" a character sheet into that avatar (first time I've done a PBP through Paizo...)?

Click on your avatar's name; it'll take you to the description for that avatar and there should be a link that says "Click here to create a profile" or something like that.

I use a DM screen. At a recent convention, I was told by a player that he's had bad luck with DMs who use such screens. He then followed with the statement that such screens "are against the spirit of 4th edition".

Huh?

Don't listen to that punk. I love DM screens!
