I have spent virtually no time on the forums, but I've been using Hero Lab for a year or so (since last Gen Con, as a matter of fact.) I'm running two demo games for beginners at Gen Con again this year and have been putting together 15 or so characters in the past few days, so these are a couple of things that have been on my mind.

Take these for the two cents or so they are worth.

1) Print format: I would give my right arm for the ability to format a character sheet that looks exactly or almost like the official M&M stat blocks from the books, with all the appropriate commas and semi-colons, etc. The one-page format is similar but just different enough...

2) Movement: For some reason, when I do a one-page, movement is frequently split up into two fields over two pages. The text would clearly fit in one box, but for some reason, it spills over, creating two pages.

3) Complications: I saw the answer on another thread that says to enter these as a Personalization. Unfortunately, Personalizations don't seem to show up on the one-page sheet format. Unlike fruitbats or favorite color, this is an official part of the M&M character that most every character will have. I really wish there was an actual space for them.

4) Output format: I wish there was a way to output all the information that is on the one-page or normal character sheet into an RTF or HTML format that I could then reshape into whatever format I wanted. Is this to keep people from publishing Feat descriptions or Power costs to the Web? (And yes, I know that the various output formats give you the information minus point costs and descriptions.)
