Export Tags

[Mole]

I added the LEAPING_NOTES tag to one of the templates, but it did not list the END cost of Leaping in the printout. Is there a tag for Leaping that includes the END cost?

Also, is there an updated list of all the Export Tags, including the newly added ones? Thanks!

Already holding my breath for HD v2. Starting . . . to affect . . . me . . . a . . . little. :D

There is not (currently) any tag for Leaping which gives the END cost. Of the Characteristics, only STR has such a tag at this point.

As for a complete list of all export tags, I don't know that anyone has compiled one yet.....the bulk of the tags are detailed in the documentation....any new or modified tags are detailed in the release notes on the update page.

The documentation will be updated for v2 and will include all export tags that are available at that point.

Thanks, Dan! Another question, however; the RUNNING_NOTES and SWIMMING_NOTES tags give the END cost of that movement. Is it possible to enclude the END cost in the LEAPING_NOTES tag?

Not really....though I think that this bears some explanation (which I should have given above):

Running and Swimming are both very straightforward in their END usage....just total the END costs for each purchase.

Leaping is very different, however. According to the Hero System rules, you only pay the END for your STR once in a given action. This means that a character with a 60 STR who uses their full STR in a strike, effectively gets their base 12" of Leaping for "free" (no additional END cost). So listing a cost of 6 END for 12" of Leaping on that character can be very misleading. Add to that the issue of Reduced END and Increased END on individual STR purchases and you further confuse the whole issue to the point where it's really just best to leave the END usage for Leaping off of the character sheet as its not a "fixed" value.

I hope this makes some sense....

I respond with, "True dat". Yes, very good explanation. Again, thanks a ton!
