Embed Adjustments

So what you're saying is that you're reading one of your players' characters, and you can't understand how they got to the attribute value they did? So you're looking for ways they could have hidden something? Why not just ask this person to explain how they got to that value?

Some players can be touchy about that. If you want to send me the .por I can take a look and explain the source to you.

Can the .por file be edited directly such that an improper STR bonus is added, or an improper weapon attack bonus is calculated, or so on...?

I'm just thinking that somehow knowing that the .por file was created by HL and not tweaked by hand is also important!

Typically in those cases the validity checks that HL has would throw an error.

Hero Lab recalculates almost everything except what the user has entered themselves with every evaluation pass (every change you make). So there's no way to hide an extra calculation in there by editing the .por file's contents.

Excellent. That's what I was hoping.
