Hello all.

I just purchased Hero Labs today, and all in all I am very happy with my choice. It's a great program.

However, as I am still learning how to use it, I was wondering if anyone on the forums could explain the best thing to do in the following situation:

I am trying to upload my current PFRPG characters from pen and paper character sheets to Hero Lab, and I ran across a problem with my Alchemist. Because he has "Throw Anything," he learned that he could use a magic artifact (indestructable, tuned to him / his allies and so "returning") as a pretty reliable weapon (1d6 bludgeoning, better than spending actions reloading on a crossbow). However, when I go to list this in Hero Lab, I can't figure out how to make this show up as a reliable weapon option.

If I use something with similar stats (i.e. Throwing Axe), the program treats it as a weapon and not a "throw anything" item, and I lose all my bonuses. If I create a custom item, I can't figure out how to put damage and the like in to the equation. So, I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how to solve this problem?

EDIT:
Also, could anyone tell me how I get the "weapons" window to show ranged attack values instead of melee attack values?

Which weapon are you counting this as, in terms of improvised weapons? (I'm guessing Club, since that's a 1d6 bludgeoning weapon that can be thrown). So, just add a club to your character. The Critical is already 20/x2 and the range increment is already 10', so none of that needs to change.

Proper handling of improvised weapons is on my to-do list, but I'm afraid I haven't had the time to implement it yet.
