HMK Toolkit is a macOS application for character creation and campaign management for the HârnMaster Kèthîra role-playing game from Kelestia Productions.
It’s hard now to imagine making an HMK character or detailed NPC without the HMK Toolkit. Its tracking of DP expenditures allows for easy adjustments deep into the process, and I’m also, of course, completely spoiled by its drag-and-drop, calculating armour builder. Thanks, Hexaèdre, for your immense contribution to the HMK community!Walt McAtee—Lead writer and designer of HârnMaster Kèthîra
A gorgeous automated character sheet that looks like the official one from the rulebook. Simply drag an armour article to the character sheet and see the Body Locations Table update in real time, including metal armour highlights and front/back variations.
You can choose from one of fifteen categories of equipment and simply drag and drop items onto the character: armour suits, weapons (including Masterwork weapons), missiles, backpacks, quivers, rations, rope, torches, etc. It's all there! And you can even easily create your own items.
In addition, the Wealth score of the character can easily be applied to clothing.
Add equipment to the character directly into specific containers, and encumbrance is calculated and applied automatically. You can see the content's weight, your character’s total possessions' weight, and the resulting encumbrance, if any. You can also easily drop a backpack at the start of combat with just a click of the mouse, and the character's encumbrance, and all affected skills, are updated automatically. Just click to pick it up after the combat.
Drag melee weapons to the character sheet, including MasterWork versions, and automatically get full stats for them: calculated EMLs for attacks, blocks and counterstrikes. Weapon traits are automatically shown and handled. Having a shield automatically adds specific information for shield press and dodge, and off-hand HFT adjustments and shield MOD traits are handled seamlessly. Having a weapon that can be thrown automatically adds a Thrown Weapons section with relevant information. Missile ranges and corresponding stats are automatically displayed. Fatigue and encumbrance are automatically included where applicable in all EMLs.
Helps with each step of the process, from birth to skill development and equipment selection. Enter your birthdate and get the sunsign, the list of traits associated with it, and the sunsign bonus Development Points. Enter a birth region and you get a list of society types and pantheons. The Skill Development tool keeps track of each step of the process so you can change your mind without breaking the rules. Skill bases are automatically computed; Skill Mastery Boosts are handled seamlessly. Set skill specialties, and much more! Also covers the Skill Development Rolls during campaign play.
Ready for running the free quickstart adventure from Kelestia Production. The pregenerated characters from the adventures are included automatically. You can set an "On the Silver Way" mode, which sets the date, the time, and the weather to match the adventure which starts in media res. It also sets the extended twilight mode and the correct elevation for the mountain trek.
A powerful Initiative Tracker to help handle combats. Quickly add one of your Character Groups, any of the creatures from the rulebook, or any ad hoc combatant. Keep track of any combatants' conditions, handle readied actions, and a lot more. It also features a side panel with essential combat rules and tables.
Provides all the information required for the trekking routine: daylight, twilight, and night-time hours for the current date based on the latitude and season. Temperature and precipitation are provided for the selected elevation and time of day. Travel rates are given for the selected terrain and topography. Shows an overview of the selected group with essential skills, movement rates, encumbrance, and fatigue. Provides a suggestion for the best guide within the party for the Orienteering roll and the assistance they can receive from other party members.
A searchable Price Cyclopedia with more than 1,000 entries (not counting variations). Search by service or item name, item type, or establishment. It supports merchants' price ratings, prices with a ‘+’ (e.g., 12+d), items with variations (e.g., qualities of potions), etc. You can also select a character and buy the selected item/service, which will add it to the character (for goods) and optionally subtract the price from the character’s coins. Alternatively you can add the item to the character’s short notes (for things like conveyances). It also provides an experimental “availability by market size” information.
Full weather is automatically generated for each day of the year and presented in the calendar. Festivals and religious ceremonies are displayed for the selected pantheon. Keep track of the current campaign date and time during play (and between games). Daylight, Twilight or Night-time are automatically calculated for the season, latitude and climate zone and the weather adapts to the time of day and elevation. All the climate zones and latitudes of Venârivè are supported.
You can easily switch pantheons and the calendar's display of ceremonies and festivals updates accordingly.
Easily keep track of injuries, stress, ailments, fatigue, and shock state. Fatigue is automatically added to affected EMLs on the second page of the character sheet. Skills listed on the first page always show MLs.
There is a section for short notes or lists. For example you can use this section for conveyances and items that don't contribute to encumbrance, or for additional information on equipment, or a list of contacts, etc.
Keep character or campaign notes. You can even enter markdown formatting and get a rich text rendering automatically.
Simply drag & drop a character portrait onto the character sheet to include it; otherwise a default picture of the character's birth region is automatically provided.
Convocational MLs are automatically added for Shèk-Pvâr characters. Add spells and automatically get the spell ML, including its complexity modifier, Talent Bonus, and Focus bonus if applicable. Bonus Effects are also automatically highlighted.
Alchemist Characters automatically have their alchemical tasks ML added to the character sheet. All the rulebook's elixirs are included with descriptions and easy handling of the Alchemical Strength reduction over time.
A tool to help you keep up with the rich world of Kèthîra and its many languages and scripts. Very helpful during character creation to look up which languages and scripts are appropriate for the character's birth region. Also useful during play for NPC interactions.
Create and manage groups of characters to keep track of player characters, major NPCs, or even several campaigns. Quickly add any group to the Initiative Rating Tracker.
A number of Action NPCs can be displayed, with description, skills and Body Location tables.
You can easily bring up a body locations table for a standard armour suit (and a few additions) if you need that during combat.
Just a click of a button and you have a beautiful two-page PDF of your character sheet that you can share with anyone.
The main goal of this application is to enhance your experience while playing HarnMaster Kethira. It does not replace the need for the rulebook, far from it, so go buy it and read it. You can thank me later.
As described above, this application offers a variety of useful tools for those playing HârnMaster Kèthîra. Both GMs and players will find it useful.
It does not provide automated character creation (but does provide several pre-generated characters), and it does not include the rules of the game. You need to buy the rules from Kelestia Production.
This application only works with macOS Sequoia (macOS 15) and above.
It is fully compatible with macOS Tahoe (macOS 26).
There are no plans to release a version for other platforms.
