I've got a Multiple Effect power. I've added Imunity to the power and have added Environmental Condition to it - however the words take up so much space in the box that is there that I can't actually type in what the conditin is. I've found that to also be the case in the Senses power as well.

Not sure if this is a bug or really a feature additon but... Currently there is no way to add an alternate effect on Strength Damage (See Superboy in Quickstart guide exept with Enhanced Trait (Strength). Enhanced Trait is a sustained power and you have to spend more points to make it like regular Strength. So if this could be add, it would be great.

OK, when you have more than 1 picture for your hero, and your hero has a minion the hero's 2nd picture is placed in the minion's picture spot, NOT the minion's picture.

For most powers with selections, the box to type is does not appear. For example: Communication Link (Choose Medium)

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.

Also, I wanted to add a linked power in a multiple effect power, but could not. Could this feature be added.

I wanted a multiple effect power (Bio-Suit), and one of the attacks is a linked blast and weaken toughness. I could not do this directly, and I could not just use the linked extra because I needed to Alternate Power both.

There is no longer the option in the rules for Targeted Area effect. You have to add Selective to it. My guess is this is part of the streamlining they did with combat to cut down on the number of rolls needing to be made.

As far as the linked power, I say make it it's own array outside the Multiple Effect Power, but linked by descriptors and theme, for now. Otherwise, yeah- hope that gets adjusted, too

Shouldn't Close Combat skill have Grapple as an option? I thought I saw that Grapple was separate from Unarmed....

Close Combat (Unarmed) is an option, meaning skill with unarmed strikes like punches and kicks. However, this bonus does not apply to other forms of unarmed combat maneuvers, including, but not limited to, grabbing or tripping.

Well, that's what it is in the rules anyways. Selective extra with the Check Required (attack roll) flaw.

That is what I have right now, I just wanted it so I could turn off the entire suit with one click instead of two.

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!

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.

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.

I can't reproduce this bug; if you're still experiencing it, can you email me the saved portfolio with the problem to colen@wolflair.com?

Thanks.

Edit: Also, if this bug is occurring for you on PDF output, download and install the latest PDF Canvas addon for Hero Lab - the last version of that fixed a bug that might cause this issue.
