All editions Feature Request - Hide/Duplicate Minion

[Cgeist7]

Hello all,

Just a quick request here - I think I brought it up a year or so ago, but wanted to flag it again. As many Summoned minions will be duplicates of each other, I think it would be very useful to a) allow the user to create a minion and duplicate it a number of times equal to the number of minions, and b) have a toggle for hiding/displaying minions and setting the number of minions to be displayed.

This would let the user summon 3 minions and include them in the Combat Tracker, even if his power lets him summon up to 16.

Thanks for your consideration!

This feature is already present, if you go to the minion section of the character sheet you can disable them to allow you to keep just the minimal number of minion used.

Thanks Woodclaw. We're also looking into the "duplicating minions" part of this in a future update.

It would also be great if the "Duplicate/Summon Duplicate" power would automatically fill in the information for the duplicated minions as well. Since you already have "Duplicate Hero" functionality, it seems that it would be a simple matter to have the "Summon Duplicate" power use the "Duplicate Hero" functionality to create the minions (minus the Duplicate power, of course). Is that the case, or rather, would it be possible to do such a thing?

At least for cases where the duplicate is built up to full points... diminished duplicates would probably have to be built by the user.

While this is true, having the full-powered version to start from is still a significant benefit -- and in the case of NPCs, the GM can even take advantage of the "Lower PL" button.
