It was created for the Pathfinder mods not the RPG I would love it if HeroForge supported Paizo's Pathfinder RPG. It would be icing on the cake for me. A great product supporting a great company.
Heroforge it the best innovation of 3.5. True technology supporting table top gaming

It's actually just the regular Heroforge, but with the deities and equipment from the Rise of the Runelords players guide added. It does not include any edition of the Alpha test rules.
Over on the Yahoo Hero Forge board they seem to be at a wait-and-see stage, since the final rules are currently nebulous. But I think a chargen spreadsheet would be useful to facilitate the playtesting. I'm looking into converting my Star*Forge sheet for this purpose after this semester is over. Of course, that's what I said about Modern20 last semester. I almost finished that one, in fact, but then I got distracted working on a Savage Worlds chargen.
In the long run, I'm thinking I'll probably want to build my own D&D chargen anyway to accomodate custom rules.
Since my wife likes to tweak code and work in open office, I'm thinking we'll just export heroforge and tweak for pathfinder....
the galvanizing reason she started this was because she had a Mac and didn't want to put MS office on it for heroforge.

If exporting Hero Forge to Open Office and running it on the Mac works, I'd be interested to know, because I'm contemplating whether Open Office is the route to take.
Ditto. I've been using OOo since 1.0 (yes, there really was a 1.0 release, and yes, I actually used it! ).
I've never paid for nor had an interest in using MS software and I'm not about to start now. So any progress on OOo would be good news.

I've just tried it recently on a Windows platform. It's incredibly slow, and Hero Forge is non-functional in it. A web search indicates that Open Office is notorious for being a bloated resource hog. I suspect it would be supremely frustrating to work with it for a large project like this.
