I have need to get my hands on the built in templates that HD uses to build characters in order to use them in my app. Would the official way to do that be to purchase the source code?

I bought an android tablet thinking I was going to be able to take the pdf books and the hero designer w/ me on it to game night, but it seems it won't open .jar files and the few explanation on possible way to do so (needs some downloadings and instals) is beyond my current limited understanding of modern tech. Is there a guide somewhere I can get to be able to do this or even better yet, if I get a windows tablet I can bypass the issue altogether seeing as it would run java? I am at verge of just giving the stoopid thing away as a b-day or xmas gift and its brand new; I have superhuman ability to be patient w/ people but suffer a -20 when dealing w/ inanimate objects…

When I'm messing around with Desolid for a PC... it lists IPE under the non-allowed Advantages. I've reviewed the rules on Desolid and Invisible Power Effect, and unless I'm missing something... I can't seem to find why that would be the case. Any insights?

Just a general question, what do you do your exports in mainly? HTML, RTF, etc... I'm mainly doing them in HTML using Atom from Atom.io (A VERY nice code editor I might add)

So my old laptop was having windows issues. So I reloaded it, got it all up to date and everything. Installed Java (v8) fresh from Java.com. Copied my HD files over and it runs fine and everything. I went to make a change to a character and when the dialog box for the power should pop up, nothing happens. When I try and click it dings, because I'm not in the active window. The dialog box is clearly popping up someplace I can't see it. I looked through alt-tab and I can't see anything. I reinstalled java just to be safe. I don't need HD for my game today, but I need to print out character sheets for the rest of the weekend. The dialog box for Open Character, Ex…

I wonder what the program is like. It costs a lot of money so I want to hear your opinions on it. I don't feel like buying this program anyways, but I want to see what you think of it.

I'm building a Mental Paralysis. Add Entangle and then as my first step go to add 'Alternate Combat Value.' But when I double click it nothing happens. Select it and click Select and nothing happens. I tried on different characters with different powers. I even created a 1d6 Blast and can't get it to work on any power on any character. I even closed and restarted HD. Then I rebooted. No matter what I do, I cannot choose Alternate Combat Value on any character. This appears to be the only Modifier with a problem. I just checked and I'm using the most up-to-date version 30 May 2019. I would normally post a character but it's happening on ALL characters so I'm not sure how m…

Just bought the hero designer and noticed that all the websites that the program opens up for stuff under the Tools features no longer exist! Is there a new location for them that I didn't see when I was snooping around? For example: Tools>Get New Character Template goes to... https://www.herogames.com/forums/files/category/4-templates/ The page you requested does not exist Error code: 1S160/2

Hi, I'm using the Hero Designer software for 5thEd rules which has, under the Martial Arts section, such maneuvers as Charge, Passing Strike, Passing Throw etc but I can't find any write up of them. I just bought Ninja Hero PDF but still nothing. Where is the information? Is it 6thEd stuff or what? Roger Whitaker

I am trying to create a prefab of custom weapons for my campaign. I'm building them as compound powers on the equipment tab in a prefab file. Most of the are HTH Killing Attacks. When I attempt to add the Min. STR Requirement and Real Weapon limitations, they don't show up in the Limitations or Unavailable Limitations list. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Any good way to raise the Defense of a Mental Entangle? I see how to raise the PD/ED, but not convert over to an MD.

Heya HERO folks. I was drawing up a 6th edition character today (normally I only look at 5th ed.) and I noticed that the template that loads when you create a new character comes with 8 points already spent. I looked further and it seems that it's buying up the running and leaping of the character, but only to normal starting values. So presumably they "start" at below proper starting values. I assume that this is a known bug, and it's easy enough to ignore. But is there some way to adjust the template so this goes away? Cheers y'all.

Hi Folks, I guess this is related to ChaosDrgn's "What do you code in" post... I've recently switched over to linux and have run into a quandry...Actually 2: 1) In windows I've been using either Notepad++ or Codelobster for most of my html/css/javascript/php work. Any recs on the linux side of things? I don't mind learning eclipse, I was just never able to get it working right on windows (plus there's also a bazillion versions - heck I might even dust off my c/c++ skills). But it definitely seems like overkill. Then again, maybe not. Like I said, while I don't mind diving in, having some lightweight tools also helps. 2) For …

I am building the following ability in version 20190428 Darkness to Hearing Group 1m radius, Persistent (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (5 Active Points); Time Limit (Extra Phase; -3) When I initially add Time Limit, it brings up the edit window and shows Extra Phase. Then if I save it with Time Limit, go out and go back into the power again, the dropdown menu for Time Limit defaults to a minimum of 1 Turn. The Extra Phase option is only available if I choose to edit Time Limit, not via the dropdown menu. I don't recall that being an issue before.

Sorry to ask this but apparently my interweb skills are not getting it done today. Where is the download for Hero Designer? Is it something that needs to be purchased?

So I'll get this out first... I'm old. I'm old enough to have the DOS Champions v4 character creator. And old enough to have the Creation Workshop character generator with the Champions-specific add-on. I have the current Hero Character Designer and use it frequently. I have 4th/5th/6th edition sourcebooks, but (and here's the punch line) I like the v4 character generation system. I'm also a fan of self-contained programs more than Java-based, due primarily to Sun/Oracle experience in my working life. So... 1) is there any community interest or possibility of adding 4th edition to the Hero Character Designer? 2) is there any interest of possibility…
