[Wolf Lair] Herolab - Ultimate Campaign content question

[ziltmilt]

I know that not everything from UC is in this data package for Herolab yet, but will be. Does anyone know if there's a document or page on WL's site that tells you the:

- Content that's available now
- Content that will be available in the future (hopefully soon!)
- Content that won't be in the data package.

??

I haven't seen anything on their forums or Herolab site, but it's entirely possible i missed it. I bought the package last night and can see some stuff in the program now, like History tab which I think is new. I'm really interested the downtime stuff, like owning a business, bargaining, investing, taxes, etc.

I already know that the army/kingdom stuff isn't out yet.

Thanks -

Basically, right now, Chapters 1 and 3 are in, Chapters 2 and 4 are "coming soon".

There are some caveats to that, though: all the "crunch" (mechanics for things that affect characters, like feats, and all the things that have simple "trackers" like honour, relationships and contacts) is there, but none of the things that simply "are" (like magic item crafting guidance, exploration, and investments) have been put in, and are unlikely to be incorporated.

I believe that we can expect a pretty darned comprehensive treatment of Downtime and Kingdom rules, though.

Thanks for the quick reply!

The Kingdom rules are the real sweet spot for this update. It's the missing piece of the D&D ruleset, which was promised/hinted at in the late 70s. I know there have been many earlier attempts at mass combat & dominion mechanics before PF, but I can't recall a ruleset that is as comprehensive, mechanically elegant and as integrated as this one.

Help menu...Pathfinder Roleplaying Game FAQ. There's an index of where Ultimate Campaign's features can be found within the Pathfinder files, which will tell you what's available.

Any idea if the program will support running battles between armies?

Your best bet if you have specific questions about HL is to ask on their message boards. They are very active on the boards, but I am not sure how often they come to the Paizo boards. You can find their mb by going here
