Well if you do feel that it needs to be changed or at least for a possible word change and if you would like to suggest that change, then you can use the link below to do so and see what comes of it.

Incidentally, there are a few corner cases where trade-offs do cause an issue within the system, but mainly in 2E (they've done bug fixes on the 3E material). Namely, there are calculated values, AtkDiffDC and AtkDiffAtk that are only updated correctly in the case of a Tradeoff. Scripts which rely on them may result in bad validations. |

So fine: have the trade-off arrow show up, but have it say "This trait's level may affect [corresponding trait]'s maximum level." Or don't have it at all. I think it would be less cruel to be a bit ambiguous to new players than actively misleading. |

I'm not new to HeroLab, but I am new to M&M. I dont see the rollover on mine. I've tried multiple ways to get it. Is there a setting? I do the the up and down arrows you all talk about, but i dont see any rollover.
FWIW, I'm using the mac version, latest version. |

On the Abilities tab under Defenses -- when you increase, say, Fortitude to 11 or higher (assuming you are making a PC at PL 10) a purple up-down arrow appears to the right of the grey, parenthetical abbreviation of the root stat. When you 'mouse-over' or 'rollover' that purple arrow and hover, a popup error message appears.

On the mac version (again, at least for me), I see the purple up/down, but I dont have the rollover/mouse over effect.

The popup is _NOT_ an error message and is correct. PL sets a soft cap for these traits, when you can only exceed that cap via a tradeoff, the message is that you are doing so. |
