Can I import from PCGen 5.16 a character like a Fantasy grounds NPC ?
I only know to import characters from PCGen to the PC category in fantasy grounds!.
OK, just to close the loop here for all the debuggingly inclined folks. I removed the Flurry of Blows entry and this did indeed allow the character to load, although the character is still a little hinky (in that no dice appear for damage in his attacks). I'm suspecting that I may have taken a little too much out of the hlfg ;-) but I will double check as I play around further.
I'm wondering also if I can export a valid char from FG2 and then use that to build up in HL and then import into FG2 (my theory here is that something fundamental is missing in the file in some way or is referring to something that FG2 doesn't understand, etc. etc.)
Just delete the flurry of blows attack in the weapon tab in HL and export your hlfg file again.Quote:

It's a great tool. But, due to the vast possibilities within characters especially as they increase in level, it will always need a bit of a review once in FG.
OK, lots of good activity here.
* Looking into the index error for 2.9 character converter update and official release.
* No plans for round trip (HL->FG->HL). It's just too complex for the resources we have to dedicate to the importer. I am looking at adding an ignore items import option, so that items on characters are not overwritten from HL. (a feature request)
* I have all the pieces to do the importer for Savage Worlds and Call of Cthulhu from Hero Lab, but I haven't had the time to even see how much work there is. It's definitely on our wish list.
* Imports to NPC records are on the wish list. The challenge is the number of possible imports (PCG->FG NPC, HL->FG NPC, DDI->FG NPC, Monster Builder->FG NPC).

Just went through this, I see the following;
- doesn't bring across ranks in skills
- doesn't bring across +1 to hit for MW weapons
- doesn't bring across + damage from a composite bow
Sure gives a leg up though.
From Hero Lab or PC Gen? Pathfinder or 3.5E?Quote:

Importing from HL, 3.5e.
I had to go into the magnifying glass to make the adjustments manually - that cared for it.
Hoping it becomes possible to import to NPCs from HL sometime soon.
