Somehow with two of my new players the optional features were simply added by the charactermancer, no query was made, for the simple reason that I bought TCE so it is in the compendium. I don't intend for the moment to open up that volume to my players, I'll have to read it first. But I also test it with my NPCs, so it must be in the compendium. This behavior is the opposite of the bug reported by Jesper and others.
