Yea we can't actually make a "Real" natural attack yet in the editor. So when you make one like this you have to manually bootstrap it to the race to have it appear. As you found out.

How does a Beak attack differ from a Bite attack, other than in the name?

Can you use a script to find the bite attack you added and change its livename to "Beak"?

Given that according to the Bestiary, Griffons, Ravens, and Tengu have Bite attacks and not Beak attacks, I'd say match the natural weapon standardization that Paizo is trying to implement and leave this attack as a Bite.

The attack does not real damage, only wisdom damage.

Take a look at the octopus (the small ones, rather than the big ones) - that's an example of adding a natural attack that does no damage so that you get the to-hit modifiers calculated for you.

when importing a .user file, is it possible to "test" the entire package instead of each item individually? just grabbed the psion.puser from the forum.

On the main Hero Lab window, in the develop menu, make sure you have "Enable Data File Debugging" in the Develop menu checked, then choose "Quick Reload Data Files" in the develop menu, or press ctrl-r.

File...Switch Game System, and come back to Pathfinder will also work, but takes more time.

Doh!... new settings in the "Configure Hero" tab to recognize the new classes, etc... They now show but thanks for the tip...
