HLO Improvements Wishlist (Character mgmt, Inventory, Dice)

[RxGus]

A couple of thoughts:

I would prefer to not have a "two click" system to turn on active special abilities. Things like rage would work perfectly well as a check box. Right now, you have to click active, click another box and then close the window again. Same would go for arcane strike or others- each turn on/off is at least 3 clicks when it could be one.

I would also be curious to hear the reasoning behind a GM not being able to modify a PC character. It would be nice if I could set condition on the player myself (grappled, prone, etc) vs having to look and double check that they put it on (or picked the right one, etc).

I would also echo the questions about "When is it going to happen" for the group inventory, as well as spell adjustments. It will save our group a whole lot of time if the bard can just apply haste to everyone, instead of each person having to add it themselves.

A place to enter tactics for NPCs, unless i'm just not seeing it.

Dark mode. It’s been available in most modern browsers and operating systems for 2-3 years now. Would be great it my eyes didn’t get burned out when changing tabs to HeroLab during night time character design.

Double post due to database error

I thought I had figured out how to add XP to all characters in the campaign theater at one time, but now I can't find that functionality. Does this feature exist in the campaign theater?

I'd love to see full-text searches in HLO. That searches are "name only" is the primary reason for me to continue to make my characters in HLC.

When searching the forums about information, I read that a full-text search was being worked on end 2019. There was a rough estimate that this could be available early 2020. Its a year past the original estimate, which is fine since plans may change. I do think, however, that any information I found is no longer accurate

It would be great if we could get a bit of an update. Is the full-text search still on the HLO roadmap? If so, is it possible to give some sort of prognosis? Like, does it have a short-term priority perhaps?

Still would like to see a generic namable affliction in PF2

With the ease of retraining in PF2 it would be really nice to have a record / log of what level various feats were taken at (same for skill increases on new skills).

The theme swapping they added recently covers some of this. It's not a 'true' dark mode in the sense of inverting/swapping colors while keeping the same theme, but you can do the gear icon -> Settings -> Skin & Theme and pick Shadow or Amethyst to swap any game system to a darker look.

A few things I would like to see:

Full text searches for items/feats/etc. I often find myself opening up classic just to search.

A toggle for Spell Combat (-2 attack penalty)

Implementation of Monstrous Physique/Elemental Body/Polymorph spells in general. Using adjustments is very cumbersome.

Size as an available modifier type.
