Here's something that might be useful, a tab for creating/archiving Rituals. It would work much the same as the Powers tab, letting us "build" and check Ritual design costs and performance times. Does anyone else think this might be useful enough to ask for?
I, for one, wouldn't mind having a separate page for this, so I didn't have to keep building things in my Powers tab (to get the points quickly) and then deleting them. |

Aye, having a page that can be used for Artifacts/Inventions/Rituals would be a great addition. Or even if it was a 'power' ye could add that had Power Settings like Variable does. Just something so ye can create and save these things ^_^

. . . or for holding common power stunts that may or may not every become full alternate effects.

It also sounds to my ears like we've once again come back to that often requested thing: the ability to create a "drag & drop" or "cut & paste-able" template. This tab you three are speaking of could be a scratch-sheet that doesn't incur a Power Point cost for the character where you can work up powers you wish to test or as a list of alternate powers that the character often uses via the expenditure of a Hero Point but not routinely enough to justify spending power points to make it a regular power or slot in an Array or "regular" alternate of a power for 1pp. <<I'm of course speaking in 2nd Edition terms since I'm not versed yet in how 3rd Edition does things>> Nigel Fogg, aka The Wayfarer |

So, effectively you want to make a "library" of powers that you can store somehow, and quickly call up when you want to use them?
Would this be a list of independent powers, or more like Nigel suggests, where the powers would be alternate powers of existing ones? |

Now, will it be more palatable to the majority of GMs if the powers that are built using this "library" tab are related to existing powers? Certainly it would. Nigel Fogg, aka The Wayfarer |

For details on these rules, please refer to the "Inventing" rules in the M&M Hero's Handbook (3E flavor) on pages 159-160. There are different values for "Jury-Rigging" inventions (and rituals/Artifacts) as well. It's these values I'd like to have a page to calculate, so I didn't have to do the math myself every time someone wants to come up with a "temporary" power they use a skill to roll up. I would like to keep them stored on the character if possible, since I allow my players to re-use these things once they have been designed in-game with just a creation/performance skill check. |

I'm hoping this "power stunt/library/ritual" tab will be in both 2E and 3E as many of us will probably be playing 2E for years to come. It would be just as helpful to have this tab for the 2E M&M players as it would be for 3E players.

Loving the new "Library" page ^_^
Something that might be helpful for it is if to the side it would state how long it takes to plan/study and then build/cast. Especially if there was two inputs for ranks of Quickness to change the values of study/planning and casting/building (I'm not sure if this is in the RAW, but I've done it and seen plenty of people do Quickness limited to helping Artificer/Inventor/Ritualist). While it's not hard to do this by hand, Hero Lab is about making things easier and quicker, aye? EDIT: I just found out ye have the Design time and the such if ye hover over the (?) next to the power. Ye folks are awesome. Would the Quickness thing be possible still?
