When I activate the Tactical Console, the fear conditions are not listed in the condition window. I am using the expanded fear options from Horror Adventures, if that matters. The correct fear conditions do appear on the character conditions tab, but I just can't seem to find them in the Tactical Console. Maybe I'm just missing something?

p.s. While learning the Tactical Console I find that it does not track durations of conditions, which is very disappointing. Does anyone have another program or app they use for this specific purpose?

Thanks for any help!

Combat Manager (http://www.combatmanager.com) is, in my opinion, a vastly superior combat/initiative tracker. It tracks condition durations, and can import Hero Lab portfolios. I don't know if it's available for Mac or not, though.

I use the pre-made AP encounter packs, will combat manager import from these? Or would I need to load the encounter in HL and save it then import it into combat manager?

I'm not familiar with the pre-made AP encounter packs, but if they're .por files, Combat Manager should be able to import them.

I will say that occasionally CM has an issue with importing portfolios - sometimes the characters end up showing 0 hp and 0 hp max. It's relatively quick to go in and fix that, however.

You would have to export the portfolio containing the encounter, and then load it into Combat Manager.

Yeah, not really worth the effort for minimal gain.

I end up making portfolios for all the AP encounters anyway (oversized party and I have a house rule on Hit Points) so it would theoretically work for me. Maybe I should check it out...

Conditions/tactical console show all three base 'Fear' conditions for me. Cowering, Panicked and Shaken. Do you see these, but not the additional expanded options of Spooked, Scared, Terrified, Horrified? (I don't have Horror Adventures and can't check.)
If they aren't displaying - report it as a bug. http://www.wolflair.com/support/repo...ect=pathfinder

Yeah, I do not see any of the fear effects, expanded or original. Must be something happening with Horror Adventures. I'll submit a bug report, thanks for the input!
