Perks tab - Resource Points

Your initial support request left a bit to be desired -- "HD starts with error" doesn't really tell me anything other than that you're having a problem. The follow-up information helped...particularly the character file that was causing the issue.

The problem is fixed in the current build.

I’d suggest you edit that post. Now.

HD takes Advantages into account when calculating damage with STR. In the example you're using, Reduced END does not affect the damage calculation (per the rules) and is not included in HD's prorating.

STR Minimum will be taken into account if you replace the range with the actual STR Minimum to use. The range is there to set the level, it is expected that you will specify what the actual minimum is when assigning it.

And yet here you are creating an issue, ignoring the "debate" and arguing with the poster.

Welcome to moderation, archer.

You need to use them in combination with the other containers (e.g. IS_NOT_LIST_ITEM)

1. That's why I had recommended IF_MANEUVER and IF_NON_MANEUVER - they'll let you distinguish between non-listed Maneuvers and Lists.

2. You have IS_LIST and IS_NOT_LIST to work with.

3. No.

Not much grief on my end (after we trimmed down our storage requirements) -- we're now hosted through the cloud offering of the software creators (Invision), so they did all the heavy lifting.

I suspect you'll be able to get close to what you want by using IS_LIST, IS_LIST_ITEM, IS_NOT_LIST_ITEM, IF_MANEUVER, and IF_NON_MANEUVER -- those last two are going to be important to distinguish between a List (like Aikido) and a non-listed Maneuver (like Jab).

The main difficulty you're running into is this concept of re-ordering things from the way they are entered/ordered on the Maneuvers tab in the application. It can be done, but you're going to need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

If you're looking to customize rules (e.g. adding one or more Characteristics into a Vehicle), then you're looking to build a custom template.  The documentation has details on this. 

If you're looking to have a Vehicle with all the Characteristics of a normal character, then just use the appropriate character template (e.g. Superheroic).

No.

Not really sure what you're asking...the export tags generally don't "interact with each other" at all -- you could have IF_NOT_LIST within an IF_LIST container and things would work pretty much the way you'd expect...the contents of IF_NOT_LIST would be removed if the item being exported was in a list...and the contents of IF_LIST would be removed if the item being exported was not in a list.

Fair enough on your side cygnia.  But, before my anger got the better of me (and how I should have typed),  we are getting way too free with the word Nazi in general,  not everyone on the right is a Nazi.   When I hear Nazi and concentration camp, I think of millions of people being locked away to be starved to death, gassed, experimented on, we've all seen the WWII footage.  That is a very visceral image.  There is no place for it, to frivolously undermine political opponents.  Extremists is merely extremists.

 

 

Actual, declared Nazis would disagree with you. They support the Trump administration.  They are more active since he took office.  There has been a rise/spike in anti-semitism, white nationalism, and racism since Trump took office. Odd, don't you think?

You have folks on the Left decrying the administration's policies being white nationalist and in line with Nazi beliefs.

You have white nationalists and actual Nazis supporting the administration and being supported in turn -- as shown in their rather marked rise in activity and "boldness"

And then we have people saying "well, they're not actively gassing/starving/shooting people...so I find it offensive when you call them Nazis."

I know what a Nazi is.  I also find comparing what happened at actual concentration camps in Nazi controlled territory to Trump policy (which I agree is quite misguided in its own right) quite offensive.   I do apologize for my anger getting me and not just reporting instead.

Your report would have been ignored.  Your action instead of reporting resulted in the one warning you will receive on this - any further transgression will result in your being banned.

Comparing the political party of Democrats to Nazis is in violation of the rules of these forums and this thread in particular.  You're lucky to have received just a warning.

Comparing the extreme nationalist, right-wing policies of the Trump administration (especially in regards to immigrants) to Nazism is both politically apt and backed up by multiple sources of significantly more training, education, and understanding than the lot of us.

After the righteous indignation, we heard from Democrats about Obama being called a Nazi, and how it was so awful to compare anyone to Nazis (and they had a point back then).  I don't want to hear a damn peep of Nazism cries from them now.  

 

If I was a more vindictive person, I would recommend shamelessly calling the next Dem President Nazi at every turn for his tenure.  The Dems have no right to complain.

 

 

 

Before you start/continue with the wide-scale labeling, you may want to look up the political ideology of the Nazis.  Specifically how they were and are identified as an extreme conservative/right-wing socio-political stance.

Please look up the origin of the "National Socialist" portion of the Nazi movement and its relation (or utter lack thereof) to socialism before continuing that particular line of reasoning.

The update has been posted.

I've got this fixed and will post an update once the server move is complete (later today).

No. The PDF functionality is hard coded in the app and does not function in the same manner as the exports.

A Persistent Power cannot cost END. A Persistent Power with Costs END Only to Activate is no longer Persistent - it’s Constant.

Multiple race conditions coupled with some intricacies in how some Modifiers work with the "Modifier Intelligence" in HD.

Well that was a fun one to track down.

Just pushed an update that should fix the issue.

No.

See Equipment Tags in the documentation. You would need to use those (likely TOTAL_CARRIED is the one you'd be after) along with some MATH.

If/when Steve develops rules within the HERO System for negative Characteristics as Modifiers or Adders on abilities, then they will be added to HD. Until then, you'll want to look at using custom Adders or custom Modifiers as appropriate.
