Stats gained from Growth

[Lorehunter]

I will admit that I did not look too hard (only the 1st 5 pages) but does anyone know why HD does not automatically add the bonus stats you get from Growth to the base characteristics like it does for Density Increase?

[Simon]

Growth under 6th Edition is no longer a level-based Power (like Density Increase).  Also note that (as always) Growth is not intended for characters that are always large -- it's meant for characters that can change their size...so the bonuses are not fixed (and are not always present).

[Lorehunter]

Got it. Thanks for that clarification. I had overlooked that when I read it.

I was going to ask the same question.  So I will just add on here.  Is it possible to add the stats on the side somehow?  Example: "STR - 10 (25)"?  Plus any damage difference, et al?  I am going to do it by hand if not, and my handwriting is terrible, which is why I love HD so much.   

[Simon]

The answer remains the same.

You could go to the Complications tab, hit Custom Complications, hit Notes and total everything there as a note for yourself. Just set the Complication to 0 points.

You'd likely have an easier time enabling any of the notes tabs for that (under campaign rules).

Or just add a note onto the power itself.  Just use the Create Note button that's included on every power.

 

Or, as Simon observes, turn on Note 1 and put all the final notes you want there.  I've done that a fair bit when, for example, I define an MP with 3 different HAs...normal damage, AVAD, and AVAD does body.  The notes will have the total dice to roll, accounting for the damage from STR and martial arts, rescaling the DCs to dice based on the advantage level.  

 

I actually export to plain text most of the time, then reformat as I prefer.  This is a mage-type, who can boost lots of his characteristics.

The tab stops are a bit messed up, but you get the idea.  The notation's similar to HD's, where you've got the primary/secondary.  

 

Whatever's easier for you.
