On Sci-Fi, I don't know. I'd certainly think so.

Perhaps this has already been suggested but I am burned out from reading over old forum posts
With the upcoming SWADE updates, Pathfinder, and Fantasy Companion 2... 1. Is there anyway we can have all items in companion books marked with Standard item tag so they can be ignored instead of precluding everything by hand? 2. Can we have an option in Configure Hero and with code for custom files to hide ALL magic items as well. Again, so we don't have to preclude everything by hand. |

1) This should be set up. Let me know if it isn't.
2) This system has been reworked significantly in the new version. Let me see what I can do. _ Currently In Development: Savage Pathfinder, SWADE Fantasy Companion Future Development: SWADE Super Powers Companion, SWADE Sci-Fi Companion _ Currently Running: Savage Unity Inc.

Okay, yes, it looks like number 1 is working. I think I just happened upon a few items that must not have had the proper tag applied. Sigh, I probably should have kept a list of those.
I will try to do that in the future. As for number 2, that would be awesome. I have been working on Magic Weapons and Armour from Fantasy Companion 1&2 and precluding existing armour and weapons, not too bad, maybe a dozen between the two. But holy crap, trying to preclude all or most of Magic Items...I will age considerably trying that. And I am already pretty damn old I just think any future Companion or setting book should have have a mechanism to "hide" all so to speak. We have to do a lot of precluding in our setting files sometimes. |

Regarding Required Strength especially in science fiction settings. There are times when a melee weapon does MORE damage than the Required Strength for the weapon.
Example: SciFi Staff Damage Rating: Str+d10, Minimum Strength: d6 But HeroLab only calculates Requirement warning and ruling based on the die value selected in the Damage Rating. Is there any way to have a code exception that allows the Minimum Strength die to override and fulfill the Requirement? I can see this might happen with a magic weapon as well. Does more damage but easier to wield. If there is already a method to allow this override, feel free to correct me |
