Customized magical items of every type, for example a ring that can be two or more rings in one.

Are there plans to support more of the Ultimate Campaign content? Specifically the downtime rules.. Rooms, Teams, Buildings, Organizations, and the various types of Capital (Goods, Influence, Labor, and Magic) ?

Something like a Helper.Supernat tag that can be added to spells to mark it is a supernatural ability instead of a spell-like ability.

How would this differ from the existing AbilType.Super tag?

From the FAQ within Hero Lab:

Chapter 2: Downtime

• Downtime Activities: These activities can be handled by normal purchases (at a reduced price), and by adding cash and XP as new journal entries.
• Managers: Coming Soon
• Rooms and Teams: Coming Soon
• Buildings and Organizations: Coming Soon

It would be something like the Helper.SpellLike tag but instead of listing a spell as a spelllike ability it lists it as a super natural ability. Adding the AbilType.Super tag to bootstrapped spell like that does not work.

If a supernatural ability has the same effects as a spell, it doesn't belong in the Spell-Like abilities section in the Spells tab. It should be a normal ability, and then use the "Append Spell Information" option to add the details of the spell to that ability.

Not to be a brat, but there are a lot of things spread around in Hero Lab that says that it is being worked on. While it is nice to know that things are not completely ignored, it can be frustrating when we want to make use of these things that have been "worked on" for several months.

I don't mean that to be snarky, but I guess what I am getting at is that it would be great if we could see sort of a progress or priority list. Maybe a web page that lists all of the things that are "being worked on", and we can see if that truly is the case. If it isn't really being worked on, there are some things that I would try to tackle on my own if they become important enough in my own gaming. I am sure that others would feel the same way. Many of the things seem to rely on the internal coding, however, and I can see why it would be waiting. We must fix X to be able to add Y in order to implement Z.

Makes sense, didn't even cross my mind, but it should have.

I was working on the missing ultimate campaign stuff much of last month, but the ACG playtest meant I hadn't quite enough time to get things finished for the November release. Now that is done, I'll be heading back into Ultimate Campaign tomorrow. Unless something goes terribly wrong, I expect they'll be done for the next (December) release.
