Hello...and please help :)

[Vellcrow]

I just started using Hero Lab and so far, I really like it. My only issue at this point is regarding the disguise skill. It shows in the data file to be a "trained" skill. I tried using the editor to make it an untrained skill, but it will not allow me to save it. I also noticed, after a search on the forum, that this issue has been brought up in the past (about a year ago) and that it was also addressed with the 2.4 release of the Pathfinder files. I already sent an email to LWD tech support, but I thought someone might have an answer here.

I noticed that my post was moved, maybe because I mentioned the Pathfinder files. My issue is with the d20 OGL files, not Pathfinder.

Thanks in advance,

[Nikmal]

If you have the D20 OGL files and it was fixed in the Pathfinder Files, it would mean that it was not fixed in the D20 files. Sorry. Though I wish I did have the answer, unfortunately I do not. Someone else might like Shadowchemosh, might be able to help out.

Good luck sir!

Here is a thread I read about this very subject; it is dated JAN 2012. I guess it was never addresed.

Edit: Noticed you are talking about D20 not PF.

Here is a fix. Put this in your d20 directory and call it something like Fixed-Disguise.user

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Data">
  <thing id="kDisgRis" name="Disguise" description="Your disguise check determines how good a disguise you create is, and it is opposed by others Spot check results. If you don&apos;t draw any attention to yourself, others do not get to make Spot checks; suspicious people (such as guards at a city gate) can be assumed to be Taking 10 on their Spot checks.\n\n{b}Synergy{/b}: If you have 5 or more ranks in Bluff, you get a +2 bonus on Disguise checks when you know that you&apos;re being observed and you act in character.\n\nRisner: Fixed to be untrained" compset="Skill" replaces="kDisguise" uniqueness="unique">
    <fieldval field="kAbbrev" value="Disg"/>
    <link linkage="skillattr" thing="aCHA"/>
    </thing>
  </document>

This is new for me, how/where do I save it exactly? Do I copy and paste what you posted? Programming and code are not my strong areas.

Thanks

Create new text file called "Fixed-Disguise.user". Then paste the above XML into the the text file. Put that text file into your ProgramData\HeroLab\Data\d20 game folder.

I guess I am doing something wrong. No matter which format I save it in, it does not take effect.

Here is where I am putting the text file:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Hero Lab\data\d20

I have tried word and notepad. Saved as XML, plain text, rich text...

Save it as a .user file

You want plain text and make sure windows is not adding .txt to the end of the file name. In example it may have called it "Fixed-Disguise.user.txt" which means HL won't pick it up. It has to end in .user which to windows should be a unknown file type.
