Version 10.15 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available!

[Aaron]

This month's big thing is an enhancements druids will especially appreciate, and we have the usual array of new releases!

New Releases!

• Content from Belkzen, Hold of the Orc Lords is now available as part of the Pathfinder Campaign Setting #13 package.
• All users now have access to player content from Pathfinder #91, "Battle of Bloodmarch Hill". To see this content, check the "Giantslayer" setting under "Pathfinder Adventure Paths" on the Configure Hero form.

Special Thanks

• Thanks to Tim Shadow (ShadowChemosh) for donating a new Magic Weapon, Greater adjustment!

Enhancements &amp Changes

• Polymorph effects, such as a druid's Wild Shape ability and spells like <i>beast shape</i> or <i>form of the dragon</I> are now supported.
• The favored class bonus for new characters now defaults to +1 HP, rather than +1 skill point. (Characters created with previous versions of the data files should keep whatever favored class selections they already had - this only affects new characters.)
• NPCs now display the Journal tab, to make it easier to add cash and XP to them if needed.
• Added a new Magic Weapon, Greater adjustment. Special thanks to ShadowChemosh.

Data File Authoring

• Added the aSizeBon and aSizePen fields to attributes, for spells and abilities which grant size bonuses/penalties to them.
• Added the Helper.NewFormAbi tag, which marks racial specials which are part of a new form (for polymorph effects). All abilities of the chosen form get this, even those which the spell adjustment forbids.
• Added the Helper.AllwFormAb tag. Similar to NewFormAbi, this is applied to racial specials of the new form, but only those which are allowed by the current spell adjustment.
• Added the Helper.PrimSenCas tag (and equivalent tages for secondary-quintenary tables). When applied to the class helper, they have the statblock display the custom ability tables' abilities in sentance case.
• Added the RaceGroup tag group, meant to group together similar races or different versions of the same race. For example, RaceGroup.MetalDrag is applied to all age categories of the 5 metallic dragon races (and used in the candidate expression for form of the dragon), and RaceGroup.AirElem is applied to the various air elemental races regardless of size (and used when calculating the effects of elemental body). This can also be leveraged in a more wide reaching form, as typefied by the Saurian Shaman's wild shape that allows them to take the form of "any reptile or dinosaur". Valid races are tagged with RaceGroup.Dinosaur or RaceGroup.Reptile. That way each does not have to be individually listed in the candidate expressions for that special.
