Gandalf970 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I use Hero for the Fantasy hero portion, would Hero Designer be a big improvement for my group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 It would be very useful! I have used it and when you combine with the character packs [like from Fantasy Hero] you can make characters and monsters easily. Gandalf970 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lectryk Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 'A big improvement' is a subjective valuation. All the calculations, modifiers, costs of powers/skills/talents etc are taken care of in the background. When the character is built, you can print out a clean sheet (and legible might count, depending on your players writing lol), or just keep it on your screen as you play. Since spells, artifacts and so on are built as powers that will also help you out. You can export the data and use it with the tracker app Hero Combat Manager (it has it's own forum). The app is cheap ($25) for what you get, if those things are useful to you. For me it's very useful, but I've been using it across several different versions of the Hero System for years.

Lectryk Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don't think there's a demo version to try out, but if you want to try a screen share to look at it on discord/hangouts/something we could maybe set up a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
