Adding Items

Most of the functionality of the sheet comes from dragging and dropping items. Be sure to import the compendiums for player's guide items and starter actors. Many sections of the sheet are hidden until appropriate items are added in order to reduce visual clutter. Auto-hiding of category headers can be turned off in the settings.

Combat Phase Selection

When beginning a new combat, players will press the "Phase Selection" button on their character sheet to choose their phase. GMs can push enemy combatants into the turn tracker via the button on enemy character sheets.

The top left of the sheet has four boxes to aid in tracking hero points.

Curr The number of hero points currently tracked on the sheet. This is a combination of the cost of all equipment, skills, abilities, advancements, spells, and companions. It is automatically tracked through the items that are dragged and dropped onto the sheet.

Max The total number of hero points the character has had available. This starts at 50. It is increased by rewards and flaws. GMs should create Reward Items for players to drag and drop to represent hero points awarded for deeds and treasure hoards.

Remaining How many hero points the player has remaining to spend on advancements and equipment.

Lost This is the only editable box. Whenever a player deletes an item from their sheet, due to the item being destroyed or a consumable being used up, the cost of that item should be added (manually) to the box. This amount is subtracted the remaining hero points to account for those permanently lost hero points.
