Help on implementing simple house rule

[Murrdox]

Hello,

Perhaps someone with more datafile editing experience can help me out on this.

I want to house-rule Laser Weapons such that they do not require Exotic Weapon skills, and thus are used as Longarms for rifles, and Pisols for pistols.

I know that I can do this by going into the Editor and changing the relevant skill for the weapons in question.

However, because all the Laser Rifles in the game are from Arsenal, the Editor won't let me save any changes that I make to them, and won't let me copy them.

Any help? I'd like to do this so that Hero Lab will correctly calculate dice pools for the Laser weapons my players will have.

All I do is open hero lab twice and then copy and paste from one to the other that way and then save the new one that I make with a new Unique ID - it's as easy as that.
