So, I've been trying to figure out how to add monsters into Hero Lab and am finding it a rather daunting task. I would like to reduce the time it takes from days or hours. Minutes would be even better
I have managed to figure out that this is done via the race tab in the editor? Also, I've managed to figure out that when you do add a new monster, it appears on the race tab (as a selectable race) rather than in the encounter builder. Odd. Here's an example of what I'm trying to get entered (I'm running Savage Tide and this is a monster particular to the adventure):
RHAGODESSA
CR: 2
XP: 600
N Medium vermin
Init: +1; Senses: Darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; Perception +2

Pedipalps (Ex): A rhagodessa’s pedipalps do not deal any damage on a hit, but a
creature that escapes a grapple with a rhagodessa with an opposed combat
maneuver check takes 1d6 damage as the pedipalps’ hooks and suckers tear their
flesh. A creature that escapes with Escape Artist does not suffer this damage.
Powerful Bite (Ex): A rhagodessa applies 1-½ times its Strength modifier to bite
damage.
