How to create a weapon sheet with picture

[Payback]

Hello peeps.

 

I have been away for a long time, so long in fact that the last time I purchase HD it was subscription based.

Just purchased it again a couple days ago and I am re remembering why I liked it so much.

Still wrapping my head around Prefabs, templates etc.

 

I have read and searched but can't find what I am looking for.

I have created some awesome(IMO) characters using this software and using the incredible exports found here produced some great looking character sheets.

I used them last night for my gaming group that has been stuck in Pathfinder for 15 years now.

They LOVED the look of the character sheets.

But a question that came up "What does my gun or power arm etc look like"

I would like to have a sheet shows them the stats and a picture of it.

 

I would like to write up a weapon.

Have it's write up and a picture of it.

But I don't want a Characteristics tab or most of the other tabs.

I would print this off with the associated character.

 

Is this possible?
Any direction even if it is read this. I would be happy to do that.

Thanks for any help\advice on this.

Two ways that I can see:

 

1 (preferred, IMO): Get clever with the Notes field on the ability write-ups in question (within the character). They accept arbitrary text, so if your final export is in HTML, you can include HTML in the Notes field and it will be rendered in the final export.  Including <IMG...> tags.  Then you need to use an export format that includes the Notes for ability write-ups and you're good to go.

2: Create a separate "character" for each of the abilities that you want to have exported/displayed and then design/use an export format that only exports Powers and the "character image" (for example)...or whatever other information you're looking for.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I will get fiddling in the notes with HTML.

Thank you for your time.

Payback,

 

I may have also thought of a similar, but different way than Simon's #1.  You can also overwrite the text of the Power or Equipment item with HTML.  I did this for our Fantasy Hero game years ago.

 

For example, on one of the paladin's spells to heal, i overwrote the default text in HERO Designer of:

 

<i>Hands of the Healer:</i>  Healing BODY 4d6; Increased Endurance Cost (x3 END; -1), Concentration (0 DCV; -1/2), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2), Requires A Roll (Skill roll; -1/2), 8 Charges (-1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4)

 

With the following:

Healing BODY 4d6; Concentration: 0 DCV, 8 times a day<BR>- Range: Touch</BR><BR>- Time: Full Phase</BR><BR>- Faith Roll -4</BR>

 

My solution has an issue.  Since the default text was overwritten, the text is not updated if you modify the power.  As a result, you would manually have to update your text.  However, if things are pretty static, you could make a prefab that can be used for all character files.  That is if the overwritten text can be saved in a prefab and remains when added to a character.

 

Also, adding to Simon's #2....   I think that you could also have a combat record with all of your items loaded and create an item list with pictures.

 

I hope I am making sense.  I am working on lack of sleep and it has been almost 5 years since I delved into HERO Designer.  My group has been playing Pathfinder.  Trying to get them back to HERO.
