How do I add everyman skills to my character?

[Beazulbob]

The title says it all. I've entered characters and villains in the HDV3 program, but I do not know how to add everyman skills. ???

Took me a bit to figure this out. Buy the skill, click the Familiarity Only checkbox, and the Everyman Skill checkbox appears. Check that, and you're good to go.

Awesome! Thank you so much! I've been going nuts trying to figure this out!

You're welcome. I discovered it by accident a few months ago, and it seems a little odd that the checkbox doesn't even appear until you select Familiarity Only. Maybe in a future update they'll just grey it out rather then hiding it.

It's explained in the manual, which is available on the updates page. You would have just had to search for "Everyman" in the PDF or look for it in the Table of Contents.

I completely missed the fact that there was a manual for HD. <facepalm>

To save yourself some time down the road, create an Everyman Skill prefab with all the Everyman Skills you create in it. Then you can just upload the prefab to each of your characters without having to "create" each Everyman Skill from scratch each time. I can't tell you how much easier that has made my life when making new characters.
