Tactical Console Help

[Galymyr]

I'm doing some testing within Hero Lab as I'm considering using it to help manage the encounters in a Giantslayer campaign I'm about to GM but I can't seem to figure out how to get condition duration to work. I check the condition box (ex. Blind), enter a duration (ex "2" rounds), and start advancing the rounds. Once I get past the point where the effect should expire it's still listed and the penalties are still on. Is this just a limitation of the tactical console or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help!

No, it's a limitation of the console. The duration box is only a note to remind you; you have to remember to decrement it manually.

In my game for durations in rounds I use a number of zeroes (or X or *) for the rounds; for some reason that helps me remember to take them off each round better than a number does.

This is where I am hoping HLO improves the tactical console.
