Character Sheet

Ok, got a print out of the character sheet, here is some of the things that need attention.


Stamina and Hit Points are switched, Stamina needs to be first and Hit Points needs to be second.

Stats shows only the modifiers in the boxes, with little, tiny text for the actual scores. Either put the scores and mods together or have a better side bar for the actual scores so that they are readable.

Skills only show totals, base stat and rank. A breakdown of how the skills total up should be on the sheet.

I would hope that there would be a way to fiddle with the sheet in the future to adjust to fit the user, but right now it seems that it just prints the sheet to file and it's done.

Thank you.

I would also like to see a section on Starship Combat (gunnery modifier). And for gear how about printing all of the gear (including custom gear [that is how I do Chronicle boons - custom valuable item] on the character sheets. And for skills, show at least the skill levels and total modifier.
 
Hi Darrell / ThaX!

Sorry you're both having this issue. We've been unable to recreate it. Your character portrait should be there. Have you updated? There's a new one out. Also, have you refreshed your page?

Thanks!
 
I'm not seeing the character portrait either. This new sheet looks horrible. At least have the whole thing put into 1 doc so I can print if I desire. Now I waste pages because I can't double side single pages. Also, the tiny writing next to the skills to show the ability is messed up. For instance, the line shows "Athletics" in big bold type, then in tiny type "Str, 1r" Not even sure what that means. This is definitely a step back going into Gencon, in my opinion. Due to the vagaries of access to data, I have to print these out and now that doesn't even look good.
FWIW, using Chrome on an iMac, all updates complete, refreshed page multiple times.
 
And the "Abilities and Gear Description Appendix" does not include any gear descriptions. Kind of a big miss.
 
Needed:
1) Option to remove gratuitous Hero Lab footer.
2) Option to combine into single PDF file.
3) Wasted space (2 lines used) for HP, Stamina, Resolve
4) Wasted space (2 lines used) for attribute modifiers
5) Font too small for associated attribute in skills section.
6) Garbage, extraneous text after associated attribute in skills section.
7) Font size inconsistent on section headers (gray background text)
8) Font too small for descriptions used in Defenses, Skill Modifiers, Special Abilities, Feats sections.
9) Missing Gear section in appropriate file.
10) Fix journal page sorting to be real world date by default. BTW, fix this on the journal page in app, too.
11) Option to set 1" top or left margin for binding.
 
And have you or anyone in this thread put in a bug report about the issue? Remember forum posts are not bug reports and LW will not react to them....
 
OK, I've cracked it.

If you have a character with a portrait that existed prior to the update of the character sheet system (mid June?) then the portrait will show on the online system but not on the pdf version.

You need to go back into the character, and upload the image to the HLO servers by clicking on the portrait and following the instructions. Then the image will appear on the pdf. I don't believe that there is a pre-set database of iamges, as there was before, you need to find an image to use.

Nice find!

I would update your bug ticket with this info as that can help LW track this down. :)
 
Darrell, I have a PF2 character that had a portrait prior to mid June and the portrait displays and prints just fine. However, the Starfinder characters, either old nor a brand new one I just created, has very fine default portraits displayed online, but will not print.
 
Looks like I didn't get a confirmation of my bug report last night. I'll try again later, though I guess that the team is more getting GenCon ready.

flyteach: This was all through Starfinder rather than Pathfinder2. I only discovered that there was an option for re-importing because I created a new character, and this showed me a method for correcting the problem in the old characters. If you have tried uploading a new portrait and it still doesn't show on the pdf, I'm not sure what to try next. Sory.
 
It’s ok. I didn’t have any portraits uploaded for SF, but in the previous version it used the default that’s on the web. They are still there online, but not printing.
