I use Hero Lab for organizing my Pathfinder Society characters, and one of the things I like to do is keep all of my characters' boons written on the "Background Details" section of the "Personal" tab.

However, on a number of my characters I've reached the character limit for the aforementioned section; is there any way to increase the character limit there, potentially substantially? Since it's just plain text, I wouldn't think that it would cause memory issues, or anything of that sort, but it would help me immensely.

Thank you for your consideration!

On your end? No. I'm not even sure how many characters that block is limited to but if your writing that much you might want to consider putting some of it in the journal tab text entry blocks. Especially if its character growth notes.

Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you.

I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all.

So the background max limit is 10,000 characters. That is pretty darn big but you are not going to get most of that to print.

If you really need more room you can start to add Journals as each of those can hold about 5,000 characters each.

I use the editor to create vanities. It allows me to add situational bonuses and re-use the boons across multiple characters.

Oooh, that's a really good idea to use the journal entries. That way I can assign specific boons to specific scenarios I've played. Thanks for the idea!
