I've been going about trying to create NEW magic items in Hero Lab in order to handle a character having a stacked magic item. For example, an Amulet of Natural Armor and a Amulet of Mighty Fists. This works, but is very tedious in that you have to create a new item for every possible combination. And I can't imagine that most people using Herolab are going to do this. In addition you need to get this change sent to all the people playing who have Herolab, etc, etc. Managing and creating this is really not easy!

SO, I tried to think out of the box. What I did find is you CAN add 2 amulets and equip them both. It EVEN does give you both of the items bonuses. However you get the big red validation error for having 2 amulets equipped.

So what I was thinking might be a simple and elegant change would be a check box on items that over rides this error for that item and any resulting penalties (if there are others) for having too many items in a slot. This would then allow you to have the equivalent of both items but not have to go through the nasty process of adding custom items time and time again.

Would this be a difficult enhancement to Hero Lab? I think it would be great and then would allow many others to do this. I know my characters are starting to stack magic item effects but still want to continue to use Hero Lab.
