Hi, I just imported from Hero Lab and it worked great.
The problem is I want a bunch of encounter (Guards) of different levels and classes available at a moments notice.

To do this I have created them in Hero Lab and imported but they all end up in the PC section and make it difficult to build encounters and track them in groups like NPC's.

Is there any possibility of ever allowing a NPC like section that allows me to drag PC's from the PC loading page to a NPC like group page?


Hope I have explained this well enough to understand. :confused:

Which ruleset are you wanting to do this with? For 3.5e/Pathfinder/4e this has been mentioned before and the problem is that the PC and NPC records use different data fields so it is not just a case of adding in a drag/drop functionality it would require a lot of data processing to do this and so is not a simple task to implement - see posts #9 and #10 of this thread for more info: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?19140-I-m-baaaack-with-questions!&p=152541&viewfull=1#post152541

If you want to add NPCs from HeroLab and you are specifically using Pathfinder the creature parser can be used: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?19140-I-m-baaaack-with-questions!&p=152541&viewfull=1#post152541 Pay attention to the minor formatting changes that are needed to the HeroLab generated statblock that are listed in post #1 of that thread.
