sturmrider Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi all, I bought my version of Hero Designer back in 2017 it is version 6, but since then have there been any updates or reason to buy it again. I have been away for a little while health reasons and am just getting back into Hero and if it is worth updating I will do so. For example I saw one of the programmers talking about adding I think it was Divination, but it may have been something else. Look forward to hearing from youi.

Simon Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 There have been plenty of updates, but no need to re-purchase -- just go to the "Manage Purchases" page in the top navbar (beneath "Store") and click on HERO Designer in your purchases list -- the latest update is always linked at the bottom of that page.

HeroGM Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hero Designer has everything from 5th and the core books for 6th built in. Divination is in Ultimate Skills, so it doesn't come per-packaged so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmrider Posted April 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thank you both for your quick answers. Has an Ultimate Skills hdc been made if so I will want to purchase that. Thank you again. Regards, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 No it hasn't, that's why I put up what I did in the forums. I'd love to see some of it put in. @Simon - Does the offer of "if you code it, send to me and I'll see if it past muster for inclusion" still in play?

Not really - 6E supplements have not been included by request of DOJ (except for where discrete abilities are considered part of canon). Your best bet would be to contact Jason and talk about putting together a character pack for any supplements that you'd care to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 That's fine. I'd rather ask once and know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmrider Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I went to the store to buy the Ultimate Skills book, but didn't see one. I was going to try and set it up for Hero Designer, but I guess there isn't such a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Hero System Skills in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Skills are actually trivial to incorporate, because you can freely change the display name of any existing skill once you've selected it. For me, I often change Persuasion or Oratory to Leadership. I use APG's defensive attack...one way to do that is to relabel Rapid Attack. Eventually, I changed the template, so I have a Multiple Attack Skills that has all 4 options as individual adders. I don't believe that required a change to the source code, but I may have, in a couple minor spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I go for changing the template or even doing a prefab before I touch the source. I have had to on some of the Power options in APG because of the way it's pulled. For example the .hdt file sends the text to the growth file running through an if() that holds the actual values. If that file doesn't have "Semi-Huge" to pull the values from having it in the .hdt won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
