LARP Portal Feature Highlight

Customizing your Character Card

CHARACTER CARDS can serve multiple purposes depending on the campaign. LARP Portal has two features that allow the player to customize the presentation of skills to best suit their needs.

First, under CARD CUSTOMIZATION, the user can decide what skills they want to include and what descriptions to use.

There are 5 column headings; Skills Name, Skills Description, Skill Incant, Card Description and Card Incant. The screen displays the Skill “Description” and the Skill “Incant” (if applicable) that the campaign has defined to display on the character card.

If you would like to modify either the description or the incant, you select edit and a pop-up appears to enter the test you would like to substitute. This is often a shorter or more meaningful description to you. Or you can uncheck the description or incant and just have the skill name appear.

In the CARD ORDER, the player can choose what order to present their skills. The skills will initially present in the order that the campaign presents them, which is typically either the LARP Portal Treeview order or the Rulebook order.

As a player, you may prefer a different order. I personally like to see my skills by the attribute that powers them or how many times I can use them, depending on the way the rules are structured in different games I play. For instance, I sort all my per event or per encounter skills together.
