I'm creating an NPC from a module that has the trait Fast-Talker. The problem is that I don't have the option to select a trait and it says I've overspent when I do select it. I have looked at Configure Hero and it looks like anything related to traits is selected. I'm not sure where else to look so here I am begging for help. Thanks in advance.

When traits were first introduced the designers said that they were only intended for PCs, not NPCs. So in Hero Lab, if you configure a portfolio as a PC then traits are available as usual but if you configure it as an NPC then they won't be.
If you go to Configure Hero (Ctrl + K) then you could set the NPC to be a PC. That will then allow you to pick 2 traits but will also throw a warning if you don't add enough XPs for the character level. Alternatively, leave the character as an NPC and go to the adjustments tab and add an adjustment for "Traits, Total" with a value of 1. That will then allow you to select a single trait for the NPC. |

Thank you TopCat. I thought I did something wrong and tried everything to try and figure it out. Next time I can't quickly figure it out quickly I'm not going to spin my wheels as long and just ask the community. :-)
Personally, I think traits should be for NPCs also. My philosophy has always been, "What's good for the PCs is good for the NPCs (and vice versa)." |

Thanks ShadowChemosh. Either you or someone else introduced that ability to me awhile back and it's come in handy.
