Is there an attribute you can use in the CUSTOMx characteristics to make them not display a Characteristic Roll within Hero Designer?

Currently, I'm defining my custom char as follows:



<CUSTOM1 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="15">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM1>

There isn't currently, but I'll add in a "SHOWROLL" attribute for the next update.

I've tried making use of the SHOWROLL attribute and I'm still seeing the roll value show up within Hero Designer. Here are the ways I've attempted to implement it:



<CUSTOM1 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="21" SHOWROLL="false">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM1>

<CUSTOM2 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="22" SHOWROLL="no">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM2>

<CUSTOM3 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="23" SHOWROLL="NO">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM3>

<CUSTOM4 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="24" SHOWROLL="FALSE">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM4>

<CUSTOM5 DISPLAY="HAP" BASE="3" LVLCOST="2" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="25">
<DEFINITION>(Template Extension) Heroic Action Points represent a hero's ability to go above and beyond the efforts of normal. It is used for things like re-rolls, making a Heroic Effort or Escaping Certain Death.</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM5>
Is there another means by which I should use this attribute?

Darn initialization order....

I've got it fixed for the next update.

SHOWROLL="Yes" or SHOWROLL="No" are what you'll be looking for.

Did this change make it in? Because I'm using the SHOWROLL variable and the roll is still displaying.



<CUSTOM1 DISPLAY="MD" BASE="2" LVLCOST="1" LVLVAL="1" MINVAL="0" MAXVAL="999" POSITION="13" SHOWROLL="No">
<TYPE>DEFENSE</TYPE>
<DEFINITION>Mental Defense</DEFINITION>
</CUSTOM1>

Well, that would explain why it isn't working yet. ;)
