New Custom Content

I started working on a Data file of things I found on a particular blog that I follow. d20despot is the Blog for anyone that is interested and I highly recommend the place.

So far I have the Polearm feats and Ranger Combat Style input, plus a couple monsters, like the Giant Mantis Shrimp (2 variants), A Variant on the Draugr undead race based more so off viking myths plus a few other things.

It also include a variety of Polearms to use with the Polearm feats. Some minor changes to some existing weapons also appear in the files.

here is the first draft of the files, if anyone notices anything glaringly wrong with them let me know please.

On a side note, I seem to be unable to made .hl file with hlexporter. Could it have something to do with Windows 10 or do I need to run Herolab as Admin or something?

What exactly is the Hazards section for? I saw poison attacks in there, how do they come into play? If I added a new type of Viper Poison say, would I have to add it to Hazards or just as an ability for vipers?

Hazards are things like poisions, curses, diseases, insanities, things like that. They have a bunch of sophisticated behaviours and specialized tags associated with them which are not necessary for more general racial abilities. These can be important for certain 3rd party data sets. If you made a new "Viper Poison" you could create it as either a hazard or a racial special, and bootstrap it to the race either way.

But you could make a new poison hazard for each creature/type of poison but I think its a waste.

Okay, that is what I was thinking it was. Looked less specific than a racial ability. I have 5 or so new venom/poison types that are for various types of snakes. Trying to figure out if I need to make each type of snake as a creature, they are just the normal snakes with new poisons, or just infer that the snakes have the poison and list it as a item for simplicity.

Here are the poisons I am working with. Just waiting on my license to update to add them to my file.

They are all taken from the D20 Despot Blog. While they are listed as OGL, I did ask for permission to make a HL file with the material on the blog.

Had a issue with skill points on a 1 Int Animal.
I think it was easiest to give it a few extra points in Stealth and Swim to use up the spare that I found.

How Would I add This Subtype, I mean the bonuses as I made the Subtype already.
Or are the abilities even needed to be added?
