Nice utility.

A few things I think it needs to be complete:

- Track healing surges (how many are available, total) - Track magic item uses per day - Track action points - Allow granting of milestones - Short/Extended Rest


David: I think this is a great tool. I would love to see it integrated with the tool being created over at: http://masterplan.habitualindolence.net/. They have a lot of great features that this doesn't, but what they don't have is PC import from character builder files and they don't parse out the powers from the monsters. They do however import all monsters from the compendium which I must say rocks. So if the two could be integrated it would be amazing.

It crashed when I tried to load. Debugger says:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Additional information: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Font 'Arial Narrow' does not support style 'Regular'.

WinXP64bSP3. I don't appear to have that font installed, and I can't find anywhere that I could get it that doesn't want to charge me $30 for a 10kB file.

Update: Found it here: http://www.fontyukle.com/en/1,arial+narrow

N8Ball: Minor suggestion here, would it be possible to add some more beneficial effects to the effects menu? Like Attack bonus, Damage bonus or Defensive bonus. Leaders hand these effects out regularly. Great app, btw.

Enhancement Requests

I"m not sure if this is the right place to make a feature request, but I didn't see any other contact information on this page. I'd like to see the following enhancements:

  • ability to double-click on a power to toggle expended/available.
  • ability to select multiple monsters in the encounter roster and perform bulk operations on them, such as rolling initiative (so the highlighted monsters share the same init count), sending to reserves, etc.

I"ve got my own request. See, I primarily use this tool on a netbook during play, and the screen size is a little odd -- 1024 x 600, to be exact. What I end up with is the windows being cut off at the bottom, and the page for editing Compendium entries lacks resizing handles. This means that the OK button, while still present, is totally inaccessible without using the Tab key and hoping I get it right. Could you tweak the windows to allow resizing, maybe with scrolling up-and-down to allow for shorter displays?
