It just keeps getting better!

I installed the update, but now it crashes whenever I attempt to do anything in DnD 5e (except for accessing the editor).

Can you suggest a solution?

Have you tried a fresh install? The fact that you said you can open the editor tells me you are playing with custom content. Try remove all that and see if you receive errors with just hero labs and the try adding back your custom content until you reproduce the error.

Is there an error message?

[ShadowChemosh]

Wait if your getting to the editor that is NOT crashing then as you can't access the editor without having HL running. So what do YOU mean by "crashing"?

Am I the only person who can't find the feats in 5E??

Go to the Personal tab, down towards the bottom, you'll see Permanent Adjustments.

Racial and Bonus feats are there.

If you choose Racial Feats, then the Feat choice will appear on the Race tab.

Bonus Feats will add a new tab (after increasing the counter past 0)

Hello all,

New to Hero Labs so this could be user error; I cannot seem to find where to pick skills for a character I'm adding to Hero Labs.

I would think it would be under the Skills tab, but no such luck. See the attached picture of what I mean.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks. I never would have noticed that on my own.
