Wow, I'm really not sure you are usign the product correctly then. I use HL for GMing Pathfinder and create monster encounters and use the tactical dashboard to track all the combats. I havent had an issue yet. I dont want to sound harsh but i think you are missing the intent and power of the HL product.
I'm not sure why you want to print everything either. There is no way to create an output that would display every option that a character could do. You said it doesnt display 2 handed weapons, but if you print the character and then he changes weapons, none of the attacks or stats would be correct. I really think HL is designed to be used as you play, that is in a non-print format. Its flexability is that any change to a character can be instantly cascaded thoughout the character. Any any monster in the book can be instantly displayed and intergated into a combat. As for size modifiers, they are already included in the AC for the monster, they always have been, even in D&D. So you dont include it as a special on the character. I think you might want to reevaluate why you want to use software to create a character in the first place. It sounds like you want to use pencil and paper.

I want to be able to use the program to make the creatures correctly based on the game I am using and not have to worry about doing all the math myself, right now I can't do that because of the many mistakes/errors/lack of capability, Basically I have to recheck everything I make because of my lack of trust in the program, and every creature or NPC I have made has been incorrect. Edit: Just so I am not just shitting on HeroLabs, many of these issues only came to the forefront recently, because I started GMing, before that I just used the program as a Character Generator for Pathfinder Society, for that the program mostly works just fine.

Thanks will take a look.. Edit: The output in that needs to be tweaked, it is ugly as is. And thanks for pointed it out, I also found how I can get rid of Unarmed attack always being there. Last edited by Dragnmoon; September 14th, 2010 at 04:05 PM. |
