Hmm...that's one of the 3.0 class books. These books are not currently on my to-do list, though this is at least the second instance of people wanting a prestige class from one of those books. I could look into adding some of their content in the future, but it would have to wait a bit. I would recommend looking at how to add a class yourself, and if you get stuck feel free to ask questions. You can take a look at content in the current community set for some tips.

Hi guys, firstly thanks for all the effort which has gone into this custom content, I'm really enjoying having all those extra books in there.

I wanted to ask though - why is nightstick (magic rod from Libris Mortis) missing? Or have I just not got the right option ticked?

Thanks!

You're welcome.

The answer is really just that it hasn't been done yet. No particular reason as to why other than I suppose no one has had a need to do it. If you were to look at the Libris Mortis source file, you would probably find there are many things missing. I'll add it to the list.

Thanks very much

So I'm quite new to using Hero Lab and I was wondering where should I look for information on how to add custom classes. I'd like to have the Geomancer class from Complete Divine, and no one else has added it yet. Or is someone out there working on adding it already?

I should be done with the Totemist soon (ie this week), which means I will be able to start adding in the PrC's that people have been requesting. I can add Geomancer to the list. As for doing it yourself, there are some video tutorials here:

These are for the Pathfinder editor, but you can still use most of it for d20 work. You can also take a look at how other classes were done in the community set, and go from there. If you run into a specific issue feel free to post a question. Someone is usually around to help.

I'd like to use the encounter builder to manage my combat inside HL. I'm afraid I know the answer already, but is there some kind of community pack so I can import some enemies? Even the Monster Manual would be a good start.

If not, do I have to add all the monster races as custom content?

The races are already included in the files, but the stock portfolios were never built. So if you want those they'd have to be constructed into a file of stock creatures, which would take a good deal of time and probably multiple portfolios compiled into one .stock file to make it happen.

Yep. This is something I've been considering as a second community set, but haven't gotten around to it. I know we need something like this for the encounter builder. Perhaps after the next release of the community set, I can start working on this.

This is no small project to take on, mate. You should consider having some users of the software help out. Doling out the projects in terms of a solid breakdown will get it done faster. There are a few hundred monsters in the Monster Manual to tackle and it won't be a small feat to do the entire book.
