Hi Everyone
I only just purchased Hero Lab, and wanted to swap from using my laptop at games to a much smaller foot print Ipad.
Currently I use custom created excel spreadsheet to keep a track of my character. The current benefit of this method is I have full control of what is displayed and how modifiers are applied.
The downside is that each new character needs to be rewritten from scratch. The basic structure remains the same, but new macros and formulas need to be added each time.
I found that hero lab provides a good basis to start from, but I need to add a few tweaks to make me more comfortable.
Here is what I need help with:
. Firstly is there a tutorial where I can learn how to script and add things into it for my self?
. The 'Bane' ability for weapons doesn't tie into the Ranger favoured enemy types. I'd like to modify it so it uses the same system.
. With my excel sheet I use a 'button' to select a enemy type and it automatically adds bane/favoured enemy bonuses if appropriate to weapon attack and damage, skills etc.
. Our group Paladin quite regularly uses Aura of Justice to give the other two fighters a conferred smite. In hero lab I'm using three separate adjustments to achieve that result, I'd like a single conferred adjustment to achieve the same result (obviously it would need a adjuster to input paladin cha/level)
.So basically what I'm trying to achieve is making my life simple, tick a box in the adjustments and everything automatically provides correct attack/damage stats without me having to remember to add 3-4 separate modifiers in each time.
