hero lab enhanced power question...

[cenderme84]

Hi there everyone,

i am using Herolab for building characters. So my question is i saw a build here like that below;

"Powers
Bankai (requires zanpakuto, flaws: standard action activation required – 2 p); 30 p
*Enhanced Abilities 6 (Fgt 2, Sta 2, Str 2); 12 p
*Enhanced Defenses (Dodge 2, Will 1); 3 p
*Enhanced Skills (Ranged Combat- zanpakuto 2); 1 p
*Enhanced Feats 5 (Improved Initiative 2, Power Attack); 3 p
*Enhanced Zanpakto Blast 2; 4 p
*“Flash Step” Teleport 3 (turnabout) 7 p
*Flight 1; 2 p

Concealment 10 (all senses, permanent; limited not vs. spiritually aware and only works in the mortal world): 10 p
Protection 5; 5 p
Speed 1; 1 p

Senses 7 (detect spirit pressure; accurate, extended 3, ranged): 7 p

Zanpakuto (flaws: easily removable –12 p); 21 p
*Blast 10 (getsuga tensho; extras: cone); 30 p
Strike 6 (str-based, improved crit); 1 p
*Enhanced Feats 2 (Improved Defense, Second chance [toughness vs. sword damage]): 2 p"

how can you write something like these lines;
"*Enhanced Skills (Ranged Combat- zanpakuto 2); 1 p
*Enhanced Zanpakto Blast 2; 4 p" in Herolab. when i try to add enhanced trait power and try to modify it doesnt show me any other power in the list which i can enhance as trait.

Let me see if I understand your question:

For Enhanced Skills (Ranged Combat- zanpakuto 2), you would need to go to Powers list > Enhanced Trait > New Trait Modification list > Ranged Combat: Zanpakuto. Keep in mind that you would have to have already built Zanpakuto under Powers and then defined Zanpakuto as a Ranged Combat option under Skills for it to show up in the New Trait Mod pulldown, otherwise you would just see Ranged Combat: ???? or whatever is currently defined.

For Enhanced Zanpakto Blast 2, I assume you just want to add 2 ranks to the Blast 10. "Enhancing" a trait basically allows it to behave like a Power, so it can have modifiers, go in arrays, be power stunted, etc. Now while Powers technically can be Enhanced Traits according to the rules as written (RAW), it gets weird in HeroLab. The solution is to make another Blast effect at 2 ranks and put the "Stacks with" +0 Extra on it, choosing the Blast 10 from the pulldown menu.
