Quoting my own post...in a post-necro attempt. Odd. I see a lot of folks debating the validity of reporting out of various areas. I haven't seen anyone postulating that deaths or cases are being over reported, more under-reported for various political reasons. Which got me to thinking about what we can determine from the numbers that we do have...and they're not good. If we go with the reported deaths in the US (even if under-counted), look at the graph of deaths by day (that one that shows the exponential growth). The area beneath the curve is the total number of deaths. The exponential growth gave a very sharp rise. While we've managed to flatten that curve, we haven't reached a plateau yet, much less a decline. When we do start declining, it's not going to decline at an exponential -- it's going to go down a LOT slower than that initial rise (barring the development of some miracle cure). That dramatically increases the area under the curve before we reach the end of this...and that area is the total number of deaths that we're looking at. Taking nothing else into account (under-reporting, new variations/complications/etc), if we continue to keep the curve flattened so that we can start to trend downwards (i.e. continue the social distancing and other restrictions), we're likely looking at over 250k in deaths before this is done.

You can give the other individual the PDF -- there's no license to speak of that would prevent that. You cannot split off part of an order from your account and assign it to another account, so they will not be able to download/re-download the PDF from the site without purchasing it on their own.

Nothing wrong with the export - you have both slots set to add to totals.

No, there is a “limit” of 999 on Characteristics

The "ding" sound makes me think that you have a modal dialog that is appearing either off-screen or behind the main window. If it's a modal dialog showing _behind_ the main app window, that's something that I've seen a couple of times with some of the recent versions of Java...but the dialog pops to the foreground as soon as you click anywhere (from what I've seen)...so it doesn't sound like it's that. A dialog showing off-screen is the most likely, and can happen easily if you move an HD installation from one system to another or otherwise have a different monitor/screen configuration from the last time HD was run. Simply delete your appPrefs.xml file before starting HD and you'll reset all dialog positions (among other things).

Zero desire or need to change the title bar information. As for the copyright...can be updated, but is generally assumed to be 2006 and on.

Under 5E, just make sure you have TUS selected as an available template in the application preferences. Under 6E you can either create a custom rules template or manually add the appropriate category/sub-category to the skill as an Adder -- the Skill cost structure will change appropriately when you do so.

Also: he, at least, should pull the most recent update. Given your build, you may need to repurchase in order to get that...

He likely needs to enable the appropriate supplements (like TUS) under his application preferences (this only applies to 5E)

The answer will be pretty much the same.

If you want to use the MATH tag for that, you'd likely need to do an extra loop through the Powers list...not generating any output for each Power, just "+1" for each loop. Wrap the whole thing in a MATH container...likely have a leading "0" to handle that stray "+" at the beginning of your Powers output...should be good to go.

Well, one would be to figure out why jarfix is not finding your JRE...but that may be an exercise in frustration. Easiest would be to create a batch file to launch HD -- just put the command above in it ("java -jar HD6.jar"). Then you just double-click the batch file. Note: you can create a batch file by simply making any text file and giving it a .bat extension. For example: runHD.bat with the following contents cd [full path to your HD folder here - the one containing HD6.jar] java -jar HD6.jar

If you start creating Powers right after creating the MP, they'll be added to it by default. You can move Powers into or out of an MP (or any other list) by selecting the Power and using the up and down arrows at the bottom of the panel.

Well, first off, I'd recommend going through the documentation (which covers this pretty specifically). That, said, on the Powers tab, use the Power Frameworks menu and select "New Multipower..."

Because Growth is no longer a level-based Power, but a discrete purchase (e.g. purchasing Huge rather than +5 levels of Growth). Also note that it is intended for Characters that can change their size and as such should not be reflected in primary characteristics.

Then there is either something going wrong with how you are installing Java or how you are running jarfix (e.g. installing Java only for one user and running jarfix as a different account). A working copy of Java is (obviously) a pre-requisite for HD. One thing you can try (in case the problem is restricted to jarfix for some reason): Go back to the command prompt and cd to the directory that you unzipped the HD download into (the directory that contains HD6.jar) and execute the following: java -jar HD6.jar That should launch HD...if that works, we can punt on jarfix and get you setup with a batch file to run HD. If it doesn't work, you're going to need to do some digging to determine what was different between when you ran "java -version" and this attempt...

And jarfix still doesn't see your Java installation?

They are not -- you would want to use a scripting language (e.g. JavaScript) to further process the output from the math tag.

May want to post the hdt file if you want help with it...

I would suggest reading through the documentation -- REMOVE tags work just fine and are used fairly extensively in the application.

Then you're likely adding it to the character data section of the template and not the rules definitions.

You're going to want to read the documentation regarding custom templates. Copying over all Modifiers and removing one won't actually eliminate it from your custom template -- it'll just have all Modifiers but that one be defined in your extension template. Use the REMOVE tag in your extension template.

It sounds like something is going awry with your Java installation. Where are you downloading Java from? After a successful installation, you should be able to open a command prompt and enter "java -version" to see the version information for whatever Java you have installed on your system -- paste that into a reply to this post and I can hopefully provide more help.

I've been doing the exact same with my chiro -- they're still open, but I'm not in any dire need. Heck, with the forge closed down I'm doing pretty well of late. They still keep checking every 2 weeks, which is nice of them, but I keep pushing them out until I either _really_ need it or our stay at home orders are relaxed.
