Pathfinder 1E [Pathfinder] Software Support?

[Perram]

Best thing of all, it's free.

You just need a macro-enabled version of Excel!

-O

Even better! At first I thoght you were talking about: Hero Lab - Lone Wolf Development
[EDIT: Oh! Twowolves was! I'll check that software out, too.]

I downloaded heroforge and I'm greatly impressed.

Question, though:
Does it support output to a statblock instead of a sheet?

 

[Obryn]

It's been a while since I've dug into it. I am pretty sure it does, though. It may be on a hidden sheet, but I seem to remember it being on the Attributes page. It populates as you work.

I have used HeroForge (free), Timpani (free) and HeroLab (not free). While I really liked HeroForge, supposedly Timpani is a bit easier to mod. HeroLab is not easy to mod, BUT they have great support (excellent editor tools and tutorials on how to use them) and forums where people better at modding than I am are often already doing the mod I want and are happy to show you how they did it. That alone inspires quite a bit of confidence on my part. That and HeroLab can also be used in-play to handle multiple groups at once (parties are tabs off of the main screen, handles status conditions damage, etc etc).

IIRC, all 3 can output in block format instead of character sheets.

I may have to try out HeroLab.

I currently use Heroforge for all our characters in the Gestalt campaign I'm running. I don't think I'd even try gestalt without it. Huzzah for Heroforge.

 

[Scurvy_Platypus]

It's not entirely clear to me if the Pathfinder dataset for Hero Lab is going to be one of those separate ones or not. Like, Mutants & Masterminds is one, WoD another, and so forth.

On the other hand, the Authoring Kit includes Savage Worlds and 4E.

So is Pathfinder included in one of the already existing sets (d20 system?), or is it going to be one that requires a completely separate purchase/activation?

There's a Heroforge that was being worked on for Pathfinder. Dated Nov of 07.

You might have better luck trying this out:
The RPG Engine
Note: The guy there has said that the host was acquired by someone else so the link might not work and you might have to use this one instead:
The RPG Engine

I'll throw another shout out to HeroLab. The interface is clean and user-friendly, the support for various systems is excellent and the character sheet output is well-organized and is easy to read. If they do as well on the Pathfinder support as they have with the other supported systems, making Pathfinder PCs and NPCs will be a breeze.

Apparently Paizo are working on an iPhone app: Pathfinder RPG iPhone app in early development- Temple Lion -- hope they put something together for Android and WinMo too

Another vote for HeroLab. Just installed the Pathfinder Core module and ready to go.

...apart from the fact that there's loads missing :/
