There are at least 150 monsters which have similar exceptions to what their type or subtype normally grants, and this is the method by which we handle that. If you'd prefer to do it differently, by making a new type, do what you gotta do. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to me to have 5 different versions of a type, each of which is slightly different and all of which are supposed to count as each other for pre-reqs and so on.
I don't think hiding the darkvision pick is a good idea, because what if some other source needs to add a new darkvision? Only one is ever shown, and if you hide that, new copies will remain in the background, hidden from the user. Which will be confusing and distressing. "Why aren't my googles of darkvision working! Better send a bug report to HL", and then I have to figure out that there is a 3rd party file they are working with and that it is doing something unusual. |

Anyway, I don't want to belabor the point anymore than I have. |

I like to customize my monsters quite a bit, so it seems important to me, but like I said, I am only giving advice so do as you feel is best.

Looking at the Darkvision scripts it appears a tag of "Hero.NoTypeDaVi" exists that is designed to disable Darkvision added by types. I just tested and it works fine. Add the following script to your monster: Pre-Levels/1000 Code:
~ Disable darkvision from aberration type perform hero.assign[Hero.NoTypeDaVi] Hero Lab Resources: Pathfinder - d20pfsrd and Pathfinder Pack Setup 3.5 D&D (d20) - Community Server Setup 5E D&D - Community Server Setup Hero Lab Help - Hero Lab FAQ, Editor Tutorials and Videos, Editor & Scripting Resources.

Also, looking at how it is used, I don't think you need an eval script to assign it. If you create the monster with the tag present, it should be forwarded automatically FYI.

Thanks Aaron. Yep just adding the tag to the race also caused Darkvision to be removed without needing the script.

Only certain Hero tags added to a race are forwarded automatically, it looks like that is one of them.
