HeroForge characters should be 232k each, not 10MB.

The HeroForge characters end up taking up a huge amount of disk space (no big deal if you have a 100-gig hard drive, or whatever folks have these days). But, since it's an Excel file, if you're any good at Excel, you can tweak the thing to be campaign specific.
I use it all the time.

Hey, you apparently don't understand how the Import/Export feature works
in HeroForge. Allow me to reduce your 10MB per character down to 200k.
On the Races & Stats tab, load up your fave char and hit the Export
button, then choose the filename to save as, done.
Now, close HeroForge, and open it again, and click Import (also on the
Races & Stats tab) and voila! Your character is back.
Basically, since the House Rules section is saved with EACH CHARACTER,
this lets you use one HeroForge 10MB file as the basis for all of your
Core & Handbook Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms characters, then if you
have serious hacks due to house rules, it's 10MB per additional campaign,
since you suddenly need a separate version of HeroForge.
Hope this helps. Really, only ~232k or so per character when you use the
Export and Import.
You might go back to the original web page and read the blog/FAQ to learn
more.
You can also email the author.
I am ashamed to admit I was spending 5MB a character in the old days
until the author told me in email to use import/export, so I know how you
feel.
