About Hero Lab Character Import Lite

**Please note that this app DOES NOT create characters, it imports .por files generated by Hero Lab (Pathfinder only). PCGen users look at my other apps**

It is unfair to leave a 1 star review complaining it doesn't create a character when it is highlighted in the description!

Download "Hero Lab Character Sheet" from the Google Play store to have the same experience without ads.


Hero Lab Character Sheet Lite allows you to import .por files generated by Hero Lab to create dynamic character sheets for use on your Android device.

If you want a character sheet app for your device but don't want to enter all the information manually onto your device, Hero Lab can do all the hard work of creating your character for you, and then just use email, Google Drive or Dropbox to import it into the App and make your character sheet mobile.

When you want to level up, just update your character on Hero Lab, email/Google Drive/Dropbox it to yourself and re-import!

Features include:

*Custom Dice rollers
*Stat Linking - allows adjustments to stats to filter through to other areas of the sheet such as Skills and Attacks
*Multiple character sheets, easily managed through tabs
*Keep track of spell casting, health, subdual damage etc...
*Campaign notes
*Interactive help
*Critical Focus (Pathfinder)

Things to note:

*Read the help screen on first load - it answers most questions!
*My D&D group play Pathfinder, so all my knowledge for Stat Linking etc.. is based around that rule set, if it is not to your liking, simply switch the extras off in the options menu!
*All code used to make the character sheets look is my own.
*Stat Linking does not affect damage done by bows, as the .por does not identify Composite bows, if the name and description is custom and did not use the word "Composite" the app would have no way of knowing so this was omitted.
*Although there are trackable resources in the .por file, it is not easy to track what is and isn't ammo and which weapons it would be associated with.
*If you have you imported a problematic .por file and the app crashes everytime it loads, use the app settings in android to clear data associated with the app.
*Use Hero Lab to save your portfolio as a .por file (this is the default output), the extension must remain .por, the app will try to read the files from default Downloads directory of your device, which is where email applications such as GMail should save files to by default, or you can load it through Dropbox.
*Before saving your portfolio MAKE SURE Point Blank Shot is disabled, the app will work all this out for you, if you have it enabled it will be applied again as the value in the saved file changes!

If you have any problems with an .por file or if you think something is wrong with how things are done, feel free to email me at dysfunctional.apps@gmail.com (preferably with the .por file).

Yayyyy love this app love the program go check out the glass canon podcast

X70%
by X####:

I love this app. Works well w my characters, no issues loading or switching btw characters. Minor issues with casters knowing which spells have been cast, although it does track usage in general. Conditions are not available yet. With a better spell tracking (especially for meorized spell usage) amd conditions, it would be a 5!

Y70%
by Y####:

I love the app and is extremely useful as I don't have to carry many sheets of paper, so it is an environmentally friendly. My only complaint so far is with my Kineticist character. His kinetic blast is not listed under the attacks tab.

R70%
by R####:

Everytime I import for either Google or Dropbox some how negatives get added to my skills. The spells don't know what dice should be rolled like everywhere else. Any special edits are not even read. I might as well use a pdf reader

X70%
by X####:

I do not see race, class, there's no breakdown of skills. It's not bad, but it's not very good

X70%
by X####:

It doesn't import attributes or much. Completely useless app.

X70%
by X####:

Not bad, but needs to have ability toggles.

X70%
by X####:

Can't make a character can only demo character.

L70%
by L####:

Ridiculous if you have 5 buttons and none are to create a new character

D70%
by D####:

Very nice app, does pretty much everything you would need it to for this. My only complaint is that it does not allow prepared casters to change their prepared spells nor does it keep track of which spells you casted all ready. It does keep a record of your spellbook so it makes that easier. For sorcerers, bards and the like it does keep track of spells per day so yhats nice. Other than that it is a great alternative to the stack of papers that would be your Hero Lab character sheet.

W70%
by W####:

What is the point if you can't create a new character

Z70%
by Z####:

Needs conditions to be added (coming soon, I see). Also spell-like abilities are not being pulled through.

D70%
by D####:

This app is great if you already know the character in play, but far less so if your DM needs a look since I didn't see a race/class/level field anywhere. I would also seriously recommend a way to list companions such as mounts and hirelings so players can quickly access cohort sheets. Other than that it's pretty top notch looking. I'll probably buy the full version if I like it.

S70%
by S####:

Just got Hero Lab, really loved the amount of detail in this viewer. Wish I could see the notes on skill checks, but the sheer amount of information presented it amazing already. Reserving on star for that, and not being able to toggle conditions.

T70%
by T####:

Great if you need a random character in seconds and dont care what it is. Otherwise useless.

E70%
by E####:

I cannot use the same device to prepare my campaign, will I need to buy multiple instances and does my information sync across multiple devices and platforms? (Android and three separate windows PCs)

Q70%
by Q####:

I know it says this isn't able to create a new character, but you can't really see much about your character, or edit them. If i could do that, easily at least a 4 star

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is fantastic for those who don't own their own copy of Hero Lab or those of us who do and either have a battery die or forget our stuff. RNG is fair. Good use of space, and displays all info needed to play. You guys should talk to lone wolf and get on that team developing this more.

T70%
by T####:

Ac isn't calculating max dexterity bonus. I have a +4 from dex and am wearing a chain shirt, and it is only giving me +3 from dex. Chain shirts allow up to +4 from dex.

Q70%
by Q####:

Thank you, for pointing out the dice roller on the attack tab. Now, it is the best free app that I have. I may have to upgrade just because you guys deserve it.

S70%
by S####:

Without the ability to add conditions, this won't be used much. Bought the full app anyway, in anticipation of conditions coming soon! Spell lists are currently very cumbersome and difficult to navigate through. Also, startup guide lists this does not have Google Drive support, but it worked fine. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work and thanks

There is so character generated in the android store that can make a importable file. Leaving Monday to use the app.

V70%
by V####:

Needs conditions to be added (coming soon, I see). Also spell-like abilities are not being pulled through.

N70%
by N####:

I like this app a lot but it doesn't tell me what hand I am wielding a weapon in. I was also wondering what the difference was between this and the paid version.

S70%
by S####:

Overall I really like it. Did notice that Dwarven war axes are not registering as proficient for dwarves causing low attack values.

S70%
by S####:

Good app. I've noticed that it sets your attack bonus to 0 by subtracting an equal amount of your appropriate stat modifier under the miscellaneous column. For example my character has a +2 strength, but a -2 misc modifier and a +3 dex, but a -3 misc modifier. It's not a huge deal as it calculates it correctly on the weapon page, but wanted to let you know.

L70%
by L####:

I like this so far, but a suggestion would be to allow user defined trackers (if possible). I have a couple things that aren't showing up (touch of chaos for example), but if I were able to track within the app it would be nice.

A70%
by A####:

The app looks nice and it functions as advertised. I've seen my friends use the full version on their computers and I'm sure this would be a wonderful addition to their experience. However, I don't have the full version on my computer and there doesn't seem to be a way to create new characters with this app. Adding this functionality would give this app a full 5 stars for me.

S70%
by S####:

Nice app setup is clean, no huge issues, definitely worth it for use with NPCs instead of printing out sheets.

S70%
by S####:

Drains battery faster than many other apps even when WiFi is turned off. I can stream movies on my Android Tablet with less drain over the same period of time - about 3 hours. Still bringing my paper backup to game sessions. Hope a bug fix is on the way.

S70%
by S####:

Need to be able to create my own character. I have the pc version of this and i quite enjoy it. Mobile version would be good if importing was not the only option. Id like to make my own character.

C70%
by C####:

Nice app, but it crashes when trying to load a portfolio file with 10+ characters in it.

M70%
by M####:

Recommended for anyone using Herolab.

R70%
by R####:

Takes imports and places info into tabs. Tracking current has felt easy too. Not great for doing changes mid game.

R70%
by R####:

Couldnt figure out how to create a new character

J70%
by J####:

Great app

G70%
by G####:

The app seems stuck in landscape mode for me. Also the ad banner is quite intrusive and takes up too much space on the screen. Solution could be one big ad between the screens every 30 minutes perhaps

J70%
by J####:

I would love to see it useable in portrait mode for phone usage. The has great potential.

S70%
by S####:

I found this app yesterday. Very solid App and it emulates many of the things that Apple Version does. One thing I would like to see if access from local storage on any location or google drive.
