Don't sweat it. Turns out it was a problem with the dragons in MM, too. I think it has to do with HL not handling negative numbers well in this case.

And thanks for the update.

Edit: Is it known that the spell-like abilities don't show in the In-Play tab even though it is marked to do so?
Changes were made a while back to put spell-like abilities in the spells tab. They need Usage tags to make sure they appear there.

Woot!

There's a script in the Skeleton template in MM1 that shows how to remove specials. I would start there. Not sure how to handle exceptional, though. Off-hand, I'm not even sure what that means. (Edit: Do you mean extraordinary? If so, those abilities have tags and can be excluded in the script that removes abilities.)

Adding bonus HP is easy. Add the value of herofield tHitDice to herofield tHP.

REMINDER: You can see all herofields from the Develop menu (Develop --> Floating Info Windows --> Show Hero Fields)
