[QUOTE="lonewolfdevel, post: 5232354, member: 87800"] I'll expand a little further on what Mowgli already outlined in his post... In addition to running multiple instances of Hero Lab, you can have any number of characters active at the same time within a single instance of Hero Lab. The Dashboard allows you to view all of the loaded characters and quickly switch between them. For players, this is handy for running multiple PCs, managing hirelings/henchmen, dealing with familiars and animal companions, etc. The Tactical Console is targeted at GMs. Outside of combat, it serves as a quick reference of both PCs and NPCs, replacing whatever cheat sheet you currently utilize. In combat, it facilitates the overall process, handling initiative tracking, as well as easy access to all the PCs and NPCs. Damage, effects, conditions, and what-not can be readily applied to all participants, with the goal to streamline the combat and let everyone focus on the game, while the computer handles the bookkeeping. Hero Lab prints out its own character sheets. There is an integrated Print Preview to see what the output looks like before actually printing. You can also generate PDF directly from within the product, as well as statblock output. There is currently no support for customized output. That's a high priority for us to get into the next big feature update, due out late this year. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
