character sheet print options

[Diceman]

Greetings,
currently I own the 4E version of Herolab, but my group recently started playing a 3.5 game. I have been experimenting with the demo version of the 3.5 version and I have a couple of questions.
1) I made a rogue character with nimble fingers.One the print preview the final ranks for open lock and disable device reflect the +2 skill bonus from that feat. But in the skill rank breakout area the misc. column is blank where the bonus +2 should be displayed. So if you add up the numbers as displayed the final rank comes out 2 ranks higher than the numbers listed. Is their a way to force Herolab to show All modifiers on the printout?

2) Relating to the first question, is their a way to briefly list Feat descriptions on the characters sheet. The sheet will list the feats taken but no information regarding what they do is listed. It would speed up play to have that info handy, especially when using feats that are very situational so as to remind the player they are there.Also, when someone else has to play that character for an absent player it would brief them on that characters abilities without the helping player having to scour through several books looking for an obscure feat.

Thanks for any insight.

Can't help you with your #1 item but for #2.....

This may not be there in the demo version of 3.5 but in the full version you go to Configure Hero, scroll down to Output Option and check the box next to Show Feats/Ability Descriptions and viola! A brief description will appear on the printed sheet.

I don't believe so.

There may be a synergy bonus you are getting and there may be a bonus for having a tool.

Thanks for the responses.
so if I am understanding it right once I purchase the full version of the 3.5 data set the feat desciptions will appear on the printed character sheet? (provided I set the options correctly).
If that is the case it would help somewhat with the first question. Since it wil print in the feat desciption for example that nimble fingers gives a +2 to open lock and diable device the viewer will be able to see where that extra +2 on those skills is coming from even though it isn't reflected in the Misc. column of the skill rank breakout. That was my main concern there.

Alright, have a good day folks.

The feat descriptions thing he's describing will work the same in the demo as in the full version, so you can take a look at it. The missing +2 in the Misc column of the character sheet is simply a bug, it's not a conspiracy to deprive your character of a bonus, and I've put it on my to-do list.
