Also a reference for the scripting language.

You can find the Hero Lab authoring kit wiki here:

It should answer most of these questions. Game-specific questions, like which fields and tags are available to use, can often be answered by looking at the game-specific editor documentation.

Hope this helps!

Yes, it will be. Adding the monsters from the Bestiary will be a major effort, which we can't justify doing unless we sell it as a separate data package.

There are so many of these, and their effects are so varied, that they'll be a real pain to cope with. For now we have no ETA - I suggest simply including your heritage bonus in your background text area.

Ante up, fellas. Here's $20 for you when it's ready! (How many of these $20 pledges would you need hire a free-lance developer to handle that?)

I have a hard time thinking adding the Bestiary should warrent a nother 20 dollars on the old D20 OGL one it had all the monsters but i wouldnt mind paying 5 or 10 bucks for the bestiary

Or me to volunteer my time.

My master plan:

Use Hero Lab for Pathfinder, making use of it to put in all PCs, NPCs and monsters to make full use of the Tactical console while I finish my table (see link).

When the table is finished, use Hero Lab to do all of that and feed it into d20 Pro, which I then use to facilitate a system like this:

I would gladly pay up to $30 for the bestiary IF that will also include future updates to the bestiary line for the "license". I probably would pay up to $20 and grumble a bit if it's just that book and a one-time shot.

What I do know is that missing those beasties is a huge gaping hole in the functionality after generating characters, and effectively neuters the Tactical Console. That said, it should cost something extra for all the reasons they mention (you're paying someone to type it all in - You don't work for free, why should they?)

I would buy it the first day it came out; that's for sure.

So has this other project been finished so we can get some more Pathfinder Stuff

We're in the home stretch on the current project and should have it wrapped for now in the next few days. After that, Pathfinder becomes the focus again. I need to talk with Colen and Mathias regarding whether the Bestiary or the playtest classes are next on the list. I'm guessing the answer has to do with the outcome of talks we have scheduled with Paizo for next week. So we probably won't be able to give a definitive answer on which is next in line until late next week.
