...then you know how daunting it can be to leaf through page after page of
descriptions, charts, tables, and stat blocks to figure out what your character
can do.
Hero Lab automates all the information you need, so that you can:
-
Hero Lab's validation mechansm prompts you through character creation, and ensures that invalid options will be
flagged on-screen and reported for easy correction.
-
Leave the math to Hero Lab, as all applicable bonuses, penalties, and modifiers
will be automatically applied when you choose the corresponding options.
-
Play around with different options and see their effects on your character before
you decide how to create the character, allowing you to make the choices that are
best for you and for your character.
-
Print out your character's information and head straight to the game table for
your next game.
-
Have detailed information for all skills, equipment, spells, etc. right at your
fingertips, greatly reducing the amount of time spent flipping through the pages
of multiple rulebooks.
-
See the cascading effects of changes within the Summary Panels, eliminating
surprises when one change impacts other facets of your character.

-
Let Hero Lab handle all the calculations while you experiment with all the options,

temporary conditions (e.g. poisons), letting you focus solely on the game instead
of being distrated by the bookkeeping.
-

interface for all the games you play.

Add your own custom elements to the data files, or make adjustments for your own
house rules, using the tools available in the Authoring Kit.

...then Hero Lab can help you stay on top of the rules, even if you can't quote

displayed in real-time, so there's no guesswork on the effect of a certain skill,
option, or piece of equipment.
-
Rules validation is automatic and in real-time, with detailed information about
what rule was violated and possible options for resolving the issue.
-
Game information is sortable and searchable by a multitude of criteria, so you
don't have to hunt through a stack of rulebooks to find just the right weapon,
item, spell, etc.
-
The Journal lets you write notes about anything you choose, so that even when your
game group goes for months between games, you can always pick up right where you left off.
