M&M 3rd first bug found..

[Cgeist7]

Request: When you select Duplication as a power, can there be an option to make a copy of the core character as a duplicate? If I have a character with 4 duplicates, it is just a pain to input the same stats, skills and powers multiple times (for use in the Combat Tracker).

A further option would be to make the duplicates scaled copies of the main character.

Thanks!

@CGeist:
Myself, I've always gotten around that by using the Duplicate Character option in the portfolio menu options. I know Colen was working on a way to be able to copy-and-paste before this 3E kerflouffle. Hopefully he still releases it.

Something I noticed regarding the Affliction effect:

The Limited Degree flaw properly reduces the degrees to choose from from 3 to 2 (or 1 if two ranks of Limited Degree are taken). However, the Extra Condition modifier does not provide an additional dropdown to choose the extra condition for each degree.

I can't reproduce this at all; which vehicles are you running into this problem with?

For now, you should be able to do this by adding 2 ranks to the (Strength Bonus) Damage power and giving it the "Improved Range" extra.

I want to allow you to add more "partial" ranks than is strictly possible, so you could have a power like Strength-based Damage 3 (Improved Range [to 5 ranks]), but that will require some tweaking of the files. It's definitely something I want to add in a future update.

It looks like the statblock got stuffed up somehow - the initiative should be listed under the Offense section, which is missing. I'll fix this for the next release.

I don't know if its a bug, or if it's not in the rules, but there is no targeted area effect anymore (at least none that I could see). I wanted to make a speedster with a targeted area burst attack (punching all baddies within the radius), but could not get the option for attack rolls.

I don't think this is in the rules any more - I think area effects are always general area effects now.

I'll see if I can get this included; I can't generally let you have nested multiple effects right now, but I think linked effects inside multiple effects should be doable.

We can't make copies of entire heroes like this at the moment - this is something that people have been requesting for a while. We definitely want to add it, but it's going to take some major work on Hero Lab to do.

Thanks for the bug reports everyone else has submitted - I've noted them down, and I'll try to fix as many as possible in the next release.
