This system is a work in progress. The following features are supported
A proper Turn/Phase/Segment initiative tracking system
A character sheet that you can upload a .HDC file to
Attack automation
Support for Drag Ruler
The character sheet in this system supports automation for characteristic and skill rolls.
.HDC files created in the Hero Designer can be uploaded to it, and currently supports automatically populating information for a character's characteristics, skills, powers, etc.
Most attack powers are displayed in attacks tab. Most defense powers are displayed in defenses tab.
Attacks, defense, and skills can be manually added by users.
Defenses and most powers can be toggled on and off.
The character sheet can be used to take a Recovery.
Character image stored in .HDC file is used for token.
Custom maneuvers show under attacks. Basic maneuvers are shown in the maneuver's tab. The ones that are actions (and behave like an attack) have a roll icon and behave like an attack. Set/Brace/Haymaker are toggles and enhance other attacks.
An attack can be used by clicking on dice icon from the Character Sheet 'Attacks' tab. This will add a card to the chat for the attack.
The card will show the attack roll and damage roll as well as any additional effects information below.
Target defense can be applied to damage rolls. Final damage is applied to token's stun/body. If Stun damage exceeds CON then a stunned condition is applied.
You can drag attacks (or any power) from character sheet to quick bar.
END and Charges are spent for each attack.
END can be spent from personal endurance or from an endurance reserve.

The upload of a .HDC file from Hero Designer is practically a requirement. You can't create powers, skills, or equipment from scratch. Character editing is limited within the system.

The following modules have been successfully tested for compatibility. They are also recommended.
This is a 6E framework, however 5E is very similar to 6E and with a few minor changes you may be able to play a 5E game. A 5E character is detected when you upload a HDC file using one of the 5E Hero Designer character templates.
The Actor Sheet doesn't match HD.
Try uploading the HDC file again.
How do you set a toggle power to default to off after HDC upload?
In HD set "Totaling Options" to "Do not add to Totals".
How do you get automation to determine hit or miss?
Click the target of your attack. Press 't' to select target. Open attacker's character sheet. Click dice icon next to attack. The chat cards should show a hit/miss. If it is a hit then the damage card will have a button to apply damage to your target.
You can select multiple targets with shift-t.
I'm unable to change a Characteristics Max number.
You likely have a power that is modifying the Max number. Turn that power off, make the change to Max, then turn power back on.
Is there a way to change measuring distance to 1" for 5e campaigns?
You can change it scene by scene by opening the scene settings -> grid then edit 'Grid Scale'
Marking a token as dead marks all identical tokens as dead. #247
You need to turn off Link Actor Data in the actor Prototype Token or Token screen.
Named actors can have tokens on several scenes, and by default their properties are linked to the master actor. So as you move from scene to scene their STUN/BODY/Statuses and all other properties remain the same.
Generic actors should have their link actor data unchecked, which allows you to make distinct changes to the tokens, those changes do not affect the master actor. There are also options on the Prototype token to add a number or adjective to the token name.
