Hey, keep the alien thing on the down-low, ok? We don't want that

We considered it for d20 in the past, but passed on it for the same
reasons - it would be a lot of work and the payoff wouldn't be that
great. Instead, we worked on Hero Lab's "stock hero" capabilities to
allow you to easily add a number of 'stock' heroes that can be quickly
modified to fit your needs.
We definitely want to add a random hero generator at some point, but
it'll be radically different for each game system because of how the
different rules work. We'll keep you posted once we start working on it.
Thanks!
