Questions on Weapons with Save PDF functionality

davrion · December 21st, 2017, 05:55 AM

Have a couple of questions regarding the basic Save PDF of Hero functionality. I print out PCs for some of the newer players, and was looking to see if any of the below was possible:

1. Can you designate your primary weapon so that it shows up first when exporting the hero to PDF? What's happening is that the primary weapon is appearing on the second page of the output, and the new players are drawn to the weapons listed on page 1 like a moth to a flame.

2. Is their a trick to exporting the regular specifics for a weapon, along with a second entry for that weapon but with Power Attack (or similar) factored in?

1. Create an equipment set and print those in place of the weapons, they can be reordered as needed.

2. No, but this is something I would like to add to equipment sets. Right now you can activate things and print different character sheets, but that is less ideal.

How do I configure the export to use the Equipment sets in place of the weapons? I do have them created, with the primary set in the top position.

Above the table for equipment sets, there is a checkbox "Print Equipment Sets?". Check that.

Weapons print in alpha order. So you can also rename the weapon and put "1", "2" or "A", "B" in front of primary (and secondary) weapons so that they print in that order.

Yeah, but I would rather click an drag to reorder equipment sets than create even mundane weapons as custom weapons just so I can give them a custom name.

I think ShadowChemosh has an adjustment in the Community Files that lets you reorder weapons
