Is there a spell selection panel?

Canolith has a ranged tongue attack that apparently uses STR bonus for damage. I cant get it to get the STR bonus. Finesse tag doesnt work. What am I doing wrong here?
I'm still confused by Reach attacks. I am now entering them as range attacks, so I can set a range, but I think this is incorrect. However, If Im entering them as other melee attacks I cannot set reach. This is one of the most commonly occuring problems I've run into so far (most of the creatures are large/huge so have larger reach).. What are the tags/fields for reach?

Just for DungeonGuru's reference: Josh suggested not adding spells with the spell list. They can be added by the DM while playing in HL.
On a sidenote, besides the reach example above, A, B and C are now finished. Onwards to D (which will take a long time since it has 24 monsters! Last edited by FreakFire74; August 6th, 2018 at 03:14 AM. |

Correction. They are added by us but added in Hero Lab not the Hero Lab Editor. We add them when we create the monster for the *.stock file. This means that the DM can change the spells if they like but the defaults will be selected when you add the monster from the Encounter Builder.

Innate spells need to be added in the editor in order for the statblock to show up right.
They are controlled by adding the Innate Spellcasting bootstrap, the Spellcasting Attribute and the Innate Spells button. When you add spells with the Innate Spells button you should get prompted to add a Total Charges and Usage Period (like 1 and /day). The other "Spellcasting" spells are added later in HL to the .stock file like Josh says. Using the Spellcasting bootstrap requires the Caster Level and Spell List. It might also require other tags, so is more of an advanced topic. I would just mark these for someone else to pick up until we can get a better tutorial for it. There is a problem with adding both Spellcasting and Innate Spellcasting to the same creature if they have different casting attributes and I would suggest skipping those and letting someone with more experience doing them. |

Where the Reach field is you usually can type in reach numbers like 5, 10, 15. This translates to the field id: wReach As far as getting STR to be used as the damage, I think you can use the weapon tag wProperty.Thrown, but I'm not 100%, you can always simulate this by directly manipulating the Damage Modifier field. |

It IS visible in the general monster profile (under basics) but not per individual attack (and I've encountered a handful of monsters that have attacks with varying reaches). But if this is by design I will just leave the attacks as they are now. |

Just for future reference: The Deathlock monster has both Innate spells and spellcasting ability. I will leave the monster for now. |
