I will take a look but most likely can't fix this. The adjustment was made for regular player character sheets and the statblocks work on their own logic.

Once turned on you will have MORE options to add to your character. Nothing will be done automatically with out you adding it. The most useful part of this is the Adjustments as you will get dozens of new adjustments on the Adjust tab to let you change almost every part of your character. These are useful for groups with house rules or making your character easier to use. In example one adjustment forces everything to print to your character sheet which is nice for DM's to know all the traits, feats, items, FCB your character has and normally left off the sheet.

Other areas provides common feats/gear that groups have asked for over the years. In example with Equipment is some nice gold pieces that you can add that allows for easier transfer of gold/silver between .por files. Some of the common material components like diamond dust shows up.

For feats I have added ones like "Improved Weapon Finesse" that lets you get Dex to damage which is a common houserule.

The archetypes let you do strange things to classes like say your group allows Monks to use Cha instead of Wis. You can add the "ability score" Archetype for monks and select "Cha" and it changes everything from Wis to Cha.

Hope that helps...

This has been fixed with the latest update.

This is a weird one, and may be more of a bug in HeroLab itself.

I was using the Editor to create a monster race (Jigsaw Shark from PF58). All was well until I hit "Test Now", and a series of error messages appeared, all related to the Community Packs it appears (posted below).

If I exit HeroLab and re-start, it compiles just fine, and I can use the new race with no issues. But... "Test Now" seems to always break. As does "Switch Game System" on the main window's File menu.

This issue appeared as of today. The latest Pathfinder update is loaded, and it appears that the latest Pack is as well (v1.19)

I get this reported here or in separate threads at least once a month. It has nothing to do with the community pack. It’s a memory bug in Test Now it appears. If you didn’t have the community pack installed it would still happen just with an error about the language.hlz file.

It’s a memory bug that has been around for years and its getting worse... Dave has tracked down where he thinks the issue is and hopefully in one of the next binary releases the issue will be fixed.

The ONLY way to get around this is to Exit HL and restart it. Then you can once again use Test Now! for X number of times until it appears again.

Yes tremendously thanks

One small question:

We don't use nonlethal damage in my game (we use the D&D 5e approach: on a killing blow you may elect to knock the creature out instead). The big difference here is nonlethal weapons do half the damage they used to (ex: 1d3 hp nonlethal to 1 hp lethal for Unarmed strike and 1d6 nonlethal to 1d3 lethal for a Sap).

Is there a way to simply implement this in HL with one of your wonderful adjustment or must I use the dreaded editor ?

Came here to report the same bug as RadJames two posts ago! Hope this gets fixed soon, it's a pain, as it happens every second or third compile cycle.

I'm pretty sure the developers are aware of that issue, but it's probably a devious gremlin with a lot of experience at evading the bug squashers, so has been part of HL for a long time now.

As Shadow suggested, restart HL any time the gremlin takes in interest in what you're doing. The restart has a built in lullaby like quality, and it soothes the gremlin into a peaceful sleep, at least for a time.
