Import (single) hero from HeroLab portfolio

[Decrayer]

Hello,

I've just gotten into RW, but I used to track my group and some special enemies in HeroLab before. Now I wanted to add the Heros into RW. So how can I do it the best?

I started to create one of the heroes by creating a new Individual. Then I wanted to import the hero from the Portfolio where I keep all the group heroes in. But it just imports the whole Portfolio and doesn't give me the chance to select a single hero out of that Portfolio.

Another related question: In the "character role" attribute of individuals, there is no single entry for "archenemy" or "enemy", just a "possible rival". So I'm confused about whether there is another category or mechanic to map monsters and enemy individuals.

1. In Hero Lab, you can export your heroes to new portfolios, one at a time. Then you can add the individual portfolios to Realm Works.
2. You might be looking for "adversary." I typically put generic monster entries in the Mechanics.

You can add items to the Character Role tag domain or create your own Tag Domain for that purpose, if Adversary isn't good enough.

You could also add a Relationship (like Public Attitude/Hostile) between the enemy and a Topic representing the party or individual PCs.

Ok, thank you very much, that answered my questions perfectly.
