- - Consideration before buying, HL and CM (http://forums.wolflair.com/showthread.php?t=14620)

I can't answer for Holy Vindicators, but I'll say I've never had much in the way of problems transferring my characters from HL to CM.

Do you have the module that would provide the HV for your HL? If so, could you run an experiment and see if it works (everything is populated).

At least with the latest versions of both HL and CM, the HV PrC is not dropped.

Thanks for the reply. So all the spells show up? That is my concern, I tried several PCGEN drop in PCr for CM and none of the spells show up, and in the case of the HV it just turned the HV into a paladin. I created one with pencil today...eech, took a long time and then I had to force CM to take it as a HV.

Cheers

Ok, I will buy and see if CM and HL work fully. I guess no one else uses these two programs so the hard route is the only route.

I use both.

Let me exactly the things to make in a HL character and I'll import it using CM and get with you over the results.

I'll say this - in the past, there have been some issues with created characters not importing correctly into CM (both HeroLab and PCGen characters) but a short note to Kyle resulted in a fix within a few days/week or two.

That's true of every issue I've reported to Kyle, so I for one wouldn't worry.

In regards to HV, anything will do, I just want to know if it will populate CM correctly for the prestige class. As stated near the start, it just turned the paladin 5/HV 8 into a paladin 13 from pcgen (to date no fixes for pcgen from Kyle for CM, but pcgen is clumsy anyway). My concern is will it do the same from HL, or will it keep both sides of the house? The character doesn't even need to be complete I guess, just the two classes and HV special spells.

****my friend with HL finally created a spell caster for me so I could test spells from HL into CM, which worked correctly. He said he would create the HV for me, but it took him 2+months to create the MU****

Ok, I bought HL to run my own tests, even if I do lose money on exchange if I opt out. I am going to see how hard it is to create my own stuff etc.

****Ok, for those who were wondering, combat manager does populate correctly with HL, the vindicator showed up with all his special abilities and spells.****
