To get this turned into a new trait, you can create and save a blank file in the editor, then open that file in a text editor (not a word processing program - those are likely to try to add code that Hero Lab wouldn't understand).

You'll see the following in the file:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Data"></document>

You'll paste the old version in the middle of the second line, in-between the > and the <. Then, you can re-open the editor, open that file, and change the name and Id of the trait. (don't compile Hero Lab before you edit this trait and change the Id, or Hero Lab will complain about duplicates).

To make this a replacement of the original, you can use the "Replaces Thing Id" box on the right hand side - enter the Id of this trait into that box, then change the Id of this trait. Then, switch to the *Preclude tab, and create two new entries:

trHeirWAoO

and

 
trHeirWMan

That'll suppress the Attack of Opportunity and Maneuver versions of the trait that were split off from the proficiency version.

How would I make it so the 2nd selection list shows premade magic weapons (Thus adding the +1 to attack with it)? As it is, it will only show magic weapons built as a custom magic item on the character builder. But if I want to select for instance, a scimitar of life stealing, it doesn't show up in the list.

I see that it populates the list as All things on hero and thingid.iMagWeapon.


edit: component.BaseMagicI & component.BaseWep | thingid.iMagWeapon worked. So if anyone else cares to make that alteration, just change it like that!
