Makes me feel like Batman yelling at my screen. Their encounter builder is nice because again keyword search all monsters in one list sortable by CR. As for NPCs I like to tweak them and at the least building from scratch means I know all their features. If you buy all the bestiaries then no need imo. Encountere and NPCs are super easy and fun to build and tweak it didnt seem worthwhile. I paid for the players guides for things like traits but not for the encounters. Hero Lab is pretty awesome, and you get a number of licenses my tabletop group all threw in together and bought it and shared it among all the players. But would probably be frustrated at not finding all the feats I want. I figure I'd go with a core set and a class set, or so. +1 for PCGen, it has it's flaws, but considering it's $500 less than HeroLab (read: free), I think that the flaws aren't that big. However for me personally, I don't like to spend a lot of time figuring out how a character works and I am kind of paranoid that I'm doing it wrong so Hero Lab makes character creation a blast. I know a lot of people use myth weavers and you can find other sites that are mostly complete or you can just study the rules and do it however you like.
If you can afford like $500 or if you're fine just limiting it to core and a couple of books (~80-100 depending on options) then Hero Lab is AMAZING!! If you think of that price and say "noooo wayy" then yeah there are other things available. That being said it's a question of "how much time do you want to spend on character sheets" versus "how much money do you want to spend".
Feat/Trait finding - keyword searching ALL the traits and ALL the feats makes selecting stuff super nice.That being said, it's pretty awesome if you can afford hundreds of dollars. It is stupid expensive to keep up as even the big bulk buys are hundreds of dollars in data files. Hero Labs is EXPENSIVE if you want to keep up to date.
#PCGEN OCCULT CLASSES PDF#
The AP parts of hero labs, is it useful, does it add much compared to scrolling a pdf of the AP? Is it good? Filling out character sheets on both roll20 and on rpol is quite complicated, I've gotten the impression that it's easier to use and browse sheets on hero labs. Just yesterday I had a fight with three bosses and several commoners vs the PCs, gets a bit annoying sometimes to flip back and forth in a pdf :P Still very curious about the adventure path material that can be bought in hero labs though. And filling out a blank, simple text editor like what's offered here is a nightmare for pathfinder characters I'll have to check that out! Tried google documents too, handy in some ways but really bulky and hard to navigate sometimes. In reply to Sleeping Darkness (msg # 17):
