For years, RPG players have settled for software tools that simply fall short of what they need. Hero Lab has finally arrived, providing an easy-to-use, intuitive interface atop a versatile engine complete with all the core functionality players have clamored for.

Create characters, experiment with all the choices available under the selected rules, and orchestrate your character's evolution. Hero Lab reduces bookkeeping to just a few clicks of the mouse. It automatically tracks changes and modifiers for every stat, ability, item, spell, and option. At the same time, the automated validation rules confirm that all prerequisites, minimums, and other rules requirements are valid. With the ability to support virtually any game system and genre, Hero Lab is a revolutionary addition to any RPG player's library!

An All-Around Great Character Generator
Reviewer: Birmy
Wed, Apr 18, 2007, 05:25 PM

I've made it a mission of mine to try as many different character generators as possible, from XML spreadsheets to open source freeware to fan-made programs, and so far this is easily the one I've used the most. Most of the freeware stuff is made by programmers, not designers, and it shows in the jumbled final product. Hero Lab's actually very easy to use and it becomes very natural very quickly to navigate. There's an editor function and a custom option within the program that makes adding custom/"homebrew" material fairly easy. The validation system keeps you within the rules (while still allowing you to break them) and the updates are regular and thorough. While, as of this writing, small pieces of the SRD are forthcoming and some documentation is incomplete, these are negligible flaws in my opinion. I use this program a lot and will only use it more once data files for other games (World of Darkness, RuneQuest, and Mutants & Masterminds are forthcoming), so it's especially handy for those of us not strictly beholden to D&D.

Does HeroLab support non-core base classes like the Warlock and Scout?

From what I can tell, it appears that it includes support for all of the SRD classes, and also provides the tools to create your own classes. However, you might want to check in at their messageboards for confirmation.

Thanks for the link, Vic - I'll go forth and pester them to find out. And whether or not it has them already, at least I can add them in myself - or beg someone else's work from them. :D

Will there be a release for Herolab for the Pathfinder core rules? I love the beta rules and it would be great to get the data for Herolab too!
