Honestly, I don’t think there should be an excuse not to have this app. I know a couple people who like playing in older versions.Ĥ. The game versions can expand, like older versions before 3.5, or after etc. The compendium can expand with more races to choose from, updated classes and prestige classes, and rule books.ģ. It could turn into a desktop version to see better, and easier to browse things with multiple windows.Ģ. It’s not a perfect world though, so here’s some things this app could lead into:ġ. It’s easy to swap out gear and such, and I really like the option to put a picture to the gear to show what it looks like. It’s easy to learn how to navigate, and remember where things can be. It’s so easy to make a character and put a picture to it. It’s easy to roll for things if you forget your die( like I occasionally do). It’s easier to find sources with the compendium, and rule book. It has room for improvement, but I love this app. Thank you for making an ALMOST PERFECT app!Įveryone who plays d&d should have this app handy. Just a small tweak, but it would increase my rating to 5 stars. I wish I could click on the pet after I've linked it with its owner to open up the proper sheet, like I can with Fight Club 5. Every time I want to roll a skill with a pet, I have to back out of my character's sheet to find the pet's sheet, and vice versa. I have a ton of pets I have to scroll through on the home page. Most of my characters have familiars/summons/pets and I would like to be able to create, edit and roll them from the main character's sheet. There is one small annoyance I have, and that is with adding companions. I add my characters manually and don't have much use for the compendium, so I can't comment on how much information it has or how updated it is. My favorite aspects of this app are the note-taking capability and adding snazzy photos of your characters. The design is beautiful in its simplicity and it makes dice rolls simple with a touch of your finger, no math after you've smoothed out all your stats. I appreciate the willingness of the devs to listen to feedback. The only reason I list this as a con is that not everyone RTFM.ĮDIT: After the update I can now create and roll for companion creatures seamlessly from the character sheet. It is no difficult thing to input data incorrectly and have a marginally useless character sheet to be fair, however, Fight Club has resources which, if followed, will prevent problems down the line. Be prepared to do a fair bit of typing (or cut-and-paste) for any character of a non-vanilla nature.īe prepared to think for yourself. And an interface with all the style and charm of an IRS report form. Hero Lab will do the majority of the work figuring the modifiers and options. I mentioned the complexity of the systems. There are others, but let’s keep it short. Good support, good functionality, great design. Price point: this is a good value for the investment. This is no small thing in systems as deep and detailed as Pathfinder and 5e, having to delve into the books is inelegant. The Compendium has basic information of use to players and GMs, and is easily accessible. That may not seem like much, but in the face of successful (but frankly ugly) systems like Hero Lab and RPG Scribe, sometimes a look that seduces the pupils is a welcome break. Let me not muddy the waters by pointing out a good point, then countering it with a nitpick. ![]()
