Would you always want *all* of your weapons displayed, even a random dagger you just picked up? Or would you want many displayed but some hidden? Bear in mind that the list of weapons on the main sheet also shows any equipped armor and other items, so having a long list of weapons at the top makes the other items much less accessible. |

2. Would it be OK if it always rolled damage, even if you missed or rolled a 1? 3. Can you tell me more about what sort of information you'd want to see here? Class abilities are already listed under the "All Special Abilities" button at the bottom of the screen, if that helps. 4. This is funny because incrementers used to work like this, but I switched to the spinning wheel view because it was a complete pain to adjust it by more than one. We probably need a button to go up one and a button to go down one, right? 5. This would just be "reach of character" + "reach of weapon" for each weapon, right? 6. Any conditions are actually shown at the bottom of the screen right now, but it's not that visible. I'll try to find somewhere that's more prominent for this, I just don't want it being a huge thing, as many characters will have adjustments toggled semi-permanently. Thanks for your feedback! |

I have yet to figure out how to update. Granted, I haven't played with it much, but it wasn't addressed in the help pages.
So, when I play with the character, use equipment, buy equipment, etc.... how to I get these modifications back to my desktop? Do I have to just manually do the adjustments? Do the files move back and forth using itunes (which I don't like to use - sounds like others don't as well - is this a restriction that Apple forced?)? It would be great to have the option to email or export the porfolio, then you can just email it back, or use dropbox, and have the desktop app open the same portfolio to level up and do other between game adjustments. tl;dr.... Once it is on the ipad... is the portfolio stuck there? |

Remember this is how my group does it but we would not want/need things hidden. If we really did for some strange reason I have an adjustment in my addon that allows me to do that. I have not tested it in the app but I assume it works. Hmm need to test adjustment that allows weapons to be re-sorted in the list to see if they work still on the iPad. Quote:
I will have in-game feedback after this weekend hopefully. Quote:
Now here is where a GUI interface can help and match the dice as you will need to get it eventually roll Multiple Attacks as this is very important for higher level play. Have each attack and damage be a different color. So say your first attack is always Red, 2nd is Green, 3rd is Blue, etc as this is the same method most gamers use at the table. Matching the color of the d20 with their damage dice so it can all be rolled at once. One other note here for programmer/DM's like me is before I would allow this App to actually replace dice I would want to see a proof of 10,000 d20 rolls to make sure it really comes out to about 5%. Without this feature I don't let software dice at my table. My DM tool I use has this built in and I am happy to show players any time they want even show it roll 100 d20, 1,000 d20, 10,000 d20 and 100,000 d20. Quote:
Again will see what its like at the game table. Quote:

AC: its pretty important to show the AC, Touch and Flatfooted AC always. I know you can click on AC, but i think its important to always show all three. The less clicks the better. I would rather scroll than click.

Maybe a small time, but if I am doing it often, it gets irritating. Quote:
I think this is probably a minor thing since most people will just roll their dice anyway. Like I think i said earlier, I get a high amount of 20's rolling on the app than in real life. Maybe I am a terrible roller, but it seems to not be completely random. Quote:

I am thinking they could add the option in the character screen. They have options for emailing, copying and view stat blocks. Adding email portfolio should be pretty easy... at least from a non-programming perspective. |

Another AC issue - if im in a condition that requires me to be in one of the three AC conditions, then it should make that very clear. For example, in the main hero lab, if i check the "Running" Condition, then flatfooted is the primary AC condition, and it greys out the other two. In the iPad, it still shows you your primary AC, but if you click on the AC, it shows you your three AC conditions and places a note that you are flatfooted. My point is the quick view is wrong, or confusing, and you have to know to click on the Armor Class text to see what your armor class is. This is confusing, and users will forget this.

I had a similar AC issue with my paladin.
When I activate the smite evil class feature it increases my AC, however, this is a situational increase. Following how hero lab normally operations, situational increases should not show, but maybe an astrict appears. This is the same level of frustration I have with the furious focus feat, I have to either make an adjustment and forget I have the adjustment and use it on AoO, or remove it and forget I have the + to hit. 6 of one, half dozen of another. |
