I have a quick question: is there a way within HL to generate a Stat Block form for characters that can be copied to websites?
I know how to produce some nice-looking character sheets in PDF, but is there a way to make those web-accessible that doesn't involve massive problems? |

Related question -- where do you enter Complications in the portfolio?

The answer I received, I believe from Colen, when I asked that question in the past was to put that info in the "Notes/Character Biography" section. Unlike Character Drawbacks, there isn't a point value associated so there isn't an area of the sheet set aside. I too thought one would be able to list Complications in the same place as the Character Drawbacks but it isn't so. *shrug* Perhaps they will change this in a future update. Eh Colen? I guess we won't know until after they get back from GEN CON. |

Everyone wants a separate section for something - quotes, complications, secret identities, pets, favorite colors, fruitbats, etc. There's just no way to add a separate section for each of those - it wouldn't fit on the personal tab. None of them have any points costs, so they don't affect the hero in any mechanical way, other than occasionally generating a hero point for you.
For complications and other things, you can either: a) Include them in the "Background Details" on the Personal tab - this means they'll be displayed in the background text when you print your sheet b) Add them as "Personalizations" on the Personal tab - this will make them appear under the character portrait on printed output You can use either of these, depending on how you want the detail to be displayed. |

Everybody (including me, sadly) seems to want to give the programmers more work. Now if any of us had the money to help Lone Wolf hire a couple of extra programmers....

Nigel Fogg: The intent was that the top image would be used for the character sheet; however, moving images around doesn't seem to be working. I'll investigate this.
MPHopcroft: Maybe we can set up a system where you can buy 100 copies of Hero Lab and then get us to add features for you... Someone at Gen Con tracked me down and gave me a really good reason for why Complications should be in a separate section of the Personal tab, so I'll try to get those added too. |
