 What do you see the big benefit of FAE support in Hero Lab is?

Guilty as charged. For me, the benefits include tracking experience through HL, and having files that can be shared between my players on hand. Many of the gamers in my group use HL and having FAE for them would be awesome!

I haven't had a chance to try this yet. I'm hoping to work with it this weekend. I did play with the editor a bit, but not to any major ends yet.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. Extras are only as complex as you want them to be. You'd have to be able to track the amount based on your Refresh IIRC.

I was thinking about this the other night. Maybe make it as an additional character that someone could put into play, like a familiar in Pathfinder or Sidekick in M&M? Maybe make a drop down menu for what purpose they serve (vehicle, sidekick, base, etc.)?
Hope this helps.
