On the General tab in the Editor is a "Mechanic" tab. Basically what that means is that a "Mechanic" pick is always attached to the Hero. So you make a new one called "House-Rules" and restart HL. If you look at the Picks on the character you will see the "House-Rules" mechanic now on the hero.
This lets you setup or run "global" scripts for all characters. I have one of these setup for each and Every community Pack actually. In addition I use this as a place to define any "global" dynamic tags as a mechanic always loads and becomes live so those "Tags" then are always around and in a central place.
One step further on this logic is to not make new scripts ON the mechanic itself and instead make a "Simple" Thing to hold the script logic. Then I bootstrap the Simple Thing to the Mechanic Thing and the Simple Thing comes along and will also be "live" on all characters. What makes this so nice is you can then put a Source to the "Simple" thing and only when that "Source" is turned on does your Script execute now.
HERE is a link to the Simple Thing used in the Campaign Pack to hide all non-Eberron Deities. Its source marked to a option called "Hide Non-Eberron Deities". If you look up further in that link you will see the Campaign Mechanic with different Simple Helper Things attached to it.
Guess that maybe more info than you wanted but hopefully it helps...
