TreChriron’s Deluxe Character Sheet

Includes form-fill fields, 4 color selections, layers, bookmarks and a HERO

Designer export format that will fill the form in!

My goals;
» Make the character sheet less arcane.
All the abbreviations can be mind-boggling
to a HERO novice.
» Make it eye-pleasing with more open
space and hopefully better organization.
» Tune it for maximum compatibility
with HERO Designer.
Let me know if I can improve this result to
better meet these goals.
How to use the HD export;
» Add the new Adobe Form export for-
mat to HERO Designer.
» Export the completed character to a
folder with a copy of this PDF.
» You should name the PDF the same as
your character name (including spaces,
etc.).
» Double click the .XFDF file exported
from HD.
» (If it can’t find the PDF, select ‘locate’
and select this PDF.)
At this juncture the PDF chosen will be filled in
with the output from HERO Designer.
How to use the PDF;
» You should skip printing page one to
save ink and trees. Of course, this sheet
works great interactively on tablets or
laptop screens.
» The character portrait will not export
via the XFDF file. You must select the Por-
trait field on the PDF and upload an image.
It will resize the image to fit in the field.
» The Senses field is not populated. You
must type in your notes here. I suggest sim-
ple summaries as the full senses are listed
under Powers.
» The powers lists are broken into two
sections. The first section is for powers 1 –
10. The second section is for powers 11+.
You may want to tweak out the powers list
in HERO Designer for best/desired results.
If all your powers fit in section one, you
don’t need to print section two.
» The form’s Reset Form button clears all
fields except the image. This button does
not print.
» The Background, Tactics and Campaign
Use sections print (if included) in the
Character Info field. (…the “front” page of
the character sheet)
» The last sheet is a “Combat Sheet” for
easy reference. The Vitals Tracker is a
handy place to keep track of injury/expen-
ditures (via pencil…). The Armor Worn
section must be filled out manually. The
Current, Effect and Statuses (check boxes)
must also be filled out manually.
» CSLs print first, then Maneuvers, shar-
ing a field.
Interesting Things of Note;
» Currently this only works for the
Deluxe Character Sheet by TreChriron.
However, any enterprising HEROPhile
could modify it to suit their own form-fill
PDF. I encourage you to do so! (permission
granted!)
» Some outputs print odd characters.
I tried to include a “rewrite” section to
handle this but something odd might slip
through. When you double click the XFDF
file it might throw an error. Please report
this to me with a copy of the output file so
I can account for the new odd character in
the programming (re: arcane ritual).
» Any other oddities, crashes, errors or
strange supernatural calamities occurring
while using this export format can be re-
ported to me for resolution. All purchasers
will receive updated versions at no charge.
