Please allow the iPad application to rotate to landscape orientation.

A few things I'd love to see in a future release of HL on the iPad: 1) Spell damage/healing dice. Like weapons attack and damage, it would be nice to roll your spell penetration/damage/healing right in the app. Channeling would also be a good one to have in there as well. Similar to the way the weapon attacks are done. 2) A dice roller. Like the one on the desktop version, this would be a good thing to have. Often you need to roll a d20 or d100 for GM randomness, and you can't do that in-app. Jason |

Is there anyway to add in the bbcode that Paizo's website uses for the stats readout on the iPad? I know the computer version allows it but not as far as I can tell the iPad version.

Suggestion from one of my players yesterday, that would be very good to see (but will likely be a bit of a headache to code, though I may have a play).
Would it be possible to get a tick box for magic items to denote that they are unidentified/identified, so that unidentified items can just state "Unidentified Amulet, DC 23" or similar? With the fact a lot of people seem to use loot files in HL for handing out party treasure, it would allow players to track what has not been identified without knowing what the end item is. Another suggestion: can we get this thread stickied? |

I had thought about that as well, but might be pretty hard to not just implement, but use. What's to prevent a player from 'accidentally' checking the identified checkbox and getting the spoiler?

I would like to see if the windows in HL be adjustable, particularly the left main tab window. That is currently a fixed width. I think it would be nice to be able to fill the entire HL space if no summary windows are displayed.

In the end, there's nothing to prevent it, but at the same time, if you can't trust your players not to cheat, that's a whole new can of worms. I've coded an adjustment for it for now, with intent to go to a mechanic. Unfortunately, doing more detail than "Unidentified ring", "Unidentified footwear", etc will indeed be a lot of work, and even then the only way to get a description that'll be correct every time would be to have a field in the item listing the base appearance. |

All files are accessed from a shared source. GM has a portfolio with all characters, good or bad, plus loot characters, etc. Each player's portfolio only shows their own characters. When a state/pick is changed on a character, no matter while user is looking at it, the change is saved out automatically, and the change detected by the others who have it open, and it is refreshed there. This would allow near-simultaneous viewing by the GM if live stats, inventories, skills, etc. It would allow moving items between characters from locations the players cannot necessarily see (like a special store of unidentified items, for this particular use case). |

Currently an administrative headache, as (largely due to necessity as our playerbase is spread across a few hundred miles) we run full weekenders, going through about 2/3 - 3/4 of an AP book over each weekend. The sheer quantity of items that get picked up over that time make it a pain to try to track without being able to import stuff directly.
