Paragon is correct in that I haven't really used the Encounter Builder much. I did try to use it for the Deadlands Noir file, though, and I think I have a bunch of what I worked on packed into that .user file, which should presumably create a DLNoir directory in your portfolio directory... I think. It's been a while and while I tried playing around with the Encounter Builder and Combat Tracker routines at the table before I think I didn't end up finding them as useful as I had hoped they would be, but I also didn't invest a lot of time into them. I've ended up primarily using Fantasy Grounds at the table instead and I really like that setup, in general.

As for .stock files, CC probably knows this much, much better than I would but I THINK (and I could be completely wrong about this) that those are just .user files with a .stock extension... maybe. If so I suppose it might be possible to create your .por files making them as Creatures, and using the Exporter to package them into a .user file and renaming the extension from .user to .stock and seeing if maybe that would get those things to start showing up in Encounter Builder for you all from a single file location.

I'd have to do a lot of playing around to test that out, though, so all of that is just a lot of guessing on something that may or may not be on the right track to do what you might be looking to do.
