    M&M 3rd ed. "Harvesting" Characters from Stock

    I got my hands on a stock file with a lot of character sheets in it (long story), which I am researching to see how I can model new characters from. Basically, they would be starting points I would customize from. This is clearly the sort of thing HL Classic is intended to do, and so far I've...

    Can I remove a source?

    I accessed a user-created source incorrectly somehow (not sure which one) and now the update tracker is fouled up. I get a complicated error message when I first Load Updates, and my display shows question marks on every single thing in my menu. Is there a way I can locate and edit my list of...

    DWATS Question

    I have a quick question about the DWATS template (which I finally figured out how to get to display) -- if you want to build a character with a very high Awareness (like modeling a Time Lord or the Doctor's half-human son) or other characteristic, what adjustments do you need to make at the...

    Usage for Writers

    I have begun the process of writing a game supplement (or full game if necessary) for one of the systems Hero Lab supports. Needless to say it would be really helpful if I could us Hero Lab to help make characters for this book. As a writer, what is the most effective way to use Hero Lab for...

    Update questions

    I just got the update to 6.1 and have two questions, and I'm not sure who to ask. 1. The PDF Plugin got an update. Fair enough. However, I can't seem to install the update while Hero Lab is running, and can't locate the file so I can install it when it's not. It might be an oddity on my part...

    A BBS? How Quaint!

    I have a quick question that hopefully won't be too difficult to answer. I participate in several online forums for various games and systems. A couple of them are for games supported by HL modules I own. Is there a way to export the contents of a HL portfolio into something that can be posted...

    Super Powers -- How to Use Them

    I just picked up the Companions package but have yet to be able to figure something out -- how do you give the HL character superpowers and where do you find your options once you do? I found the edge that gives you points for superpowers but no place that lets you select the individual powers...

    M&M 3rd ed. Power Construction Basics

    I am looking at some of the characters already released for the M&M3e ruleset in its other incarnation (I won't go into the specific characters) and I've noticed that some of them seem difficult, or at the very least non-intuitive, in HL. For example, combining Immunities, Impervious Toughness...

    TA for Sportsgaming?

    One of the many fannish hats I wear is as the commissioner for a league that plays a sports simulation game called Action PC Basketball. One of my headaches is that the scheduling system that comes with the game is severely flawed: last season several teams played 83 games instead of 82 and one...

    Quick Question -- Stat Blocks

    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?

    Starting with D6

    With the system being opened to new development by West End Games as a new open system, I'm trying to figure out where to start and what to edit to do a D6 variant template for HL. It would theoretically aid in the accounting involved in a project I'm working on. The problem is that there are...

    What is this d20 Pro of which we speak?

    Now that the lastest version of the d20 data files includes support for d20 Pro, I have a basic question: what the heck is d20 Pro? I understand that it's a virtual tabletop, but is there anything I need to know beyond that? Is it separate from Lone Wolf Developments, and would it accept variant...

    New Flavors of d20

    As we all know, the d20 System comes in a variety of flavors. In addition to the 3.0/3.5 D&D rules and the upcoming Pathfinder (which could almost be called D&D 3.75), numerous publishers current and defunct had put their own stamps on the system. One way I can think of to introduce ourselves...

    More Archetypes?

    Does the M&M license allow for additional Archetype portfolios to be included in additional releases? the M&M franchise is chock full of archetypes obvious and not-so-obvious in a wide variety of products and power levels.

    Converting M&M 1e characters

    I just picked up the M&M template, and am finding it very nice indeed. One thing, though: I'm trying to convert some 1e characters to 2e using the kit as a toolkit, and am finding a dilemma: most of the characters have Damage Save bonuses, and I can't figure out how to improve the Toughness...
