About This File

The layout is a clean two column format with indenting and bolding for clarity. The Hero System logo is in the document, and nearly all character tags/information are included. Redundant information is avoided (e.g. STUN is listed only once).

 

Sections are by column. Usually you can condense a character to 2 pages just by rearranging sections.

 

The RTF in this format is only supported by MS Word, which is supported with the MS Word Viewer (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4).

 

Other Notes

  • All skill levels put along side Combat Skill Levels
  • Encumbrance is only displayed if you have equipment
  • Equipment lists in a more "equipment like" format
  • Secondary STR produces Secondary ENC Table
  • If you have an image file the file size will be bloated if you just preview the character. Use Export to File to ensure the smallest file size possible.
  • Image should fit under background and must be a JPEG

Please feel free to send me comments or corrections.

My only comment is, the Advantages and Limitations in the Powers only list (+) or (-). I suppose this is because this is a "Compact" export, but it is still quite maddening not not have. The Export format itself is handy, however, so Im giving it 4 stars.

Hey guys, I'm putting up a new format. Narf - I've worked really hard to make it work in  LibreOffice. The problem is that while there is an RTF standard, nobody uses the same version (1.0 - 1.9) and, on top of that, they don't use all of the features of whatever version they support. It was a big surprise to me that LO/OO has poor RTF support, and Apple (default viewer) is even worse. Sadly, in order to have the fancy features, MS is the most full featured. 

 

Thanks for the solid reviews.

What file should I open this with?  I'm not familiar with HDE formatted files. 

This is a file for exporting Characters made in the Hero Designer software into a RTF.  You have to make a character in HD, export it to this file type, and then you will be able to open the character you made in Word.

The only downside I can find to this otherwise-excellent format is the reliance on a proprietary version of Word.

I have tried it in the recent version of LibreOffice 7.
