Why am I flat-footed?

I have noticed that when I hover over my character's AC, Hero Lab tells me my character is flat-footed. No matter how often I tick/untick the Flat-Footed condition, this message does not go away.

Can someone please tell me what is going on?:confused:
 
It is probably applying some other Pathfinder rule which results in you being flat-footed.

Are you heavily encumbered?
 
I have a vague memory of something like this...

Open up the tactical console and check that you character has taken an action.
 
It opens a new window with a blurb about how this is supposed to help GM/DM run encounters. I have no idea on how to use this... Sorry.
 
Add another hero to the portfolio and then open the Tactical Console. It looks like you started a combat somehow... So hit the End Combat button.
 
It doesn't answer the question as to why you are flat footed, but Aaron's suggestion worked for me. I went to the encounter builder, added a monster to the portfolio, then brought up the tactical console and hit "End Combat." After that, your character wasn't flat-footed anymore.
 
This is only a guess, but maybe he got the hero exported to this portfolio from a larger one maintained by the DM, perhaps mid-combat? I'm not sure how he could have started a combat in a single character portfolio.
 
Aye, had a look through and can't find anything else causing it.

You mentioned a lot of house rules, was just wondering (more for interest than anything) whether the initiative boost adjustments were due to a house ruling, or a misunderstanding?

You're already getting +2 initiative from one of the two traits, the other isn't stacking because they're the same type of bonus, and then you appear to be adding +2 on top for each trait.

Also, I noticed the +4 concentration, I assume you're aware that the reason Combat Casting doesn't add to it automatically is because it only applies to defensive casting?


As I said, just vague wonderings. You seem to also have a lot of sources I don't, so there might be something that caused it that I'm missing.
 
Thanks this helped me.
I did Ctrl+T and did have an active combat. Ending combat fixed the two characters who were showing up as Flat Footed.

I had previously checked the Conditions tab, so I was pretty confused.
