Outputting statblocks truncates text

GThiel · September 2nd, 2015, 03:22 AM

When outputting a Statblock in Text Format, I often find that lines get truncated.

For example, when exporting "Genie, Efreeti" in the Special Ability section, the Change Size trait is exported as "Change Size (DC 17) (Sp) Twice per day, an efreeti can magically change a creature's size. This works just like an enlarge person or reduce person spell (the efreeti chooses when using the ability), except that the ability can work on the efreeti. A DC 13 Fortitude save nega".

Why is this occurring, and if it is a known bug, why hasn't it been corrected?

I use encounter builder within Herolab to create the statblocks of monsters to import into Realm Works so that I can link encounters to the monster for ease of use.

General Hero Lab Support & Community Resources is a sticky thread at top of Forum where you request official support for issues. A bug is ANYTHING you think is not working correctly. Weather you know for a fact or are just wondering if it is wrong. Report it using the above links to get an official response from Lone Wolf.

I noticed the same thing. I thought it may have been a "self imposed limitation" for copyright reasons or something.

But then I heard Paizo is using HL to generate statblocks now so I'm hoping it was fixed in 12.2!

That is not something which is in 12.2, though we did get to lots of other stuff. I encourage you to look at the posted thread to see what we added, because I am especially proud about all the stuff we got done this month.

+1; my usual process is to generate statblocks and use those for running the game (since I usually have PDFs of the rulebooks up on my tablet rather than Hero Lab).

And congratulations on this release. It's amazing what you all accomplished this month!

No problem Aaron.

BTW, LOVE the new library encounters. (got those lists sorted!) and like that it stays in the selected encounter lib selected.
