usability of Hero labs in a live setting
Hello, Kinda new to Lone Wolf and looking to buy HeroLab Online for the starfinder I run. I had a few questions before that though:
|
1. Not yet, but is in the works. Once implemented it is not intended to grant others to your license. It is supposed to allow people living in the same hotel me to use the same account on multiple devices.
2.Not yet. 3. No. |
Hey Cybear ... I'm in the same boat ... new and trying things out. There are a lot of very positive looking aspects in the works but at the moment, HLO is just a very powerful, easy to use character generator (and "tracker"). We had a Chromebook during our last Starfinder session, running an account with all five characters on it casting to a monitor. It did provide some easy reference and "what if" scenario solutions but as a live running app during a game provided little else. Made leveling super quick which we enjoyed since that reduced any break from the adventuring, letting us get on with the action. Also allowed for quick calculations when a character acquired new "loot" and wanted to utilize it immediately. Otherwise we still ended up printing out the characters for hard reference (old school) and using the single Chromecasted account for some creative additional tools.
Despite all that, I am impressed so far with the application's potential and desperately hoping they can release several of the road mapped features soon. I've only used it for a few weeks but would already encourage anyone with patience to invest now. |

It saves a lot of mistakes in forgetting to apply bonuses and/or penalties to the stats on a paper printout. (I don't know if they exist in PF2 or SF, but in original PF this applies to buffs like Bless or conditions like Dazed and/or flat-footed.) |

That and I'm really enjoying this community :cool: |

There's also (as in PF1) a really exhaustive list of custom adjustments for everything from stats to specifically tweaking the range or DC of abilities, which does a lot to make things practical for the inevitable minor homebrew bonuses or penalties characters tend to pick up in home campaigns. |
