Version 11.7 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available!

[Aaron]

Two new books focusing on monsters and the people who summon them form the center of this month's release but we also are releasing the Giantslayer GM content for the first 4 issues as a new package! As with previous adventure path GM support, purchase of this pack will include everything needed to run the Giantslayers encounters in Hero Lab, all organized in a clear library for ease of use and customization. As always, the player content remains free to the public. Thanks for listening, and have a happy independance day (provided you celebrate American holidays)!

Enhancements & Changes

• Chapters 1-4 of the Giantslayer package is now available for purchase! This includes all the encounters from the first four issues of the AP, in an easy to search format and with paizo's art. The latter two issues of the AP will be released as a free update to complete the package in a few weeks. As with the Rise of the Runelords GM content, no additional packages are required to make use of these portfolios, even though they draw on races from the Bestiary and other sources!
• Content from the Inner Sea Monster Codex is now available in the new Campaign Setting #14 package.
• Content from the Monster Summoner's Handbook is now available the last book in the Pathfinder Player Companion #19 package.
• All users now have access to player content from Pathfinder #94, "Ice Tomb of the Giant Queen". To see this content, check the "Giantslayer" setting under "Pathfinder Adventure Paths" on the Configure Hero form.
• Updated Pummeling Style description in accordance with the official FAQ.
• Thanks to frumple's generous donation, we have now added the missing dragon age categories from Bestiary 2 and 3.
• The four versions of the Graveknight template have been replaced by a single template which lets you choose the element of your graveknight.

Special Thanks

• The Night's Rest button was only recovering a character's Class Level in hp, instead of their character level (which includes racial hd), meaning animal companions did not heal overnight.
• The Divine Hunter archetype was not interacting correctly when the character choose the Animal Domain at 3rd level. They were losing the animal companion Hunter granted them until 4th and then counting as 3 levels lower than they should. Furthermore, once they were high enough level to have gained the animal companion from the domain, they were not getting +2 to divide among the stats of their companion.
• The Spirit Summoner Archetype was not functioning correctly when applied to an unchained summoner.

• A giant's Rock attack was counting as a projectile weapon rather than a thrown weapon, meaning it's damage was not benefitting from the unchained barbarian's rage ability.

• Unchained Monks were getting too many stunning fist uses from their levels.
• The Pack Rager barbarian archetype was getting too many Rage powers at certain levels.
• Mithral weapons of negligible weight were costing nothing extra for their material (according to the faq, they should count as 1/2 lb for material costs).

Data File Authoring

• Added the tCRRacOver herofield, which is used to override the normal racial CR of the hero. It is used by certain templates.
• Added the #speaklang[] macro, which checks to see if the hero can speak a language.
• Added the wFineShPen field to weapons, which stores the attack penalty finessed weapons take when the user equips a shield. This is used in equipment sets and weapons in general. The armor check penalty of any equipped shields is stored in a herofield for weapons and in the new "esShArmChk" field on the equipment set for equipment choosers (since each equipment set maintains its own equip states).
• Helper.Obsolete now works with templates.
• Added the DragonAge tag group, for use with true dragon races. This is combined with several procedures called from the race or racial special to automate many of the functions of a dragon's age.
• The various True Dragons have had a RaceGroup tag added for their family (Chromatic, Imperial, Outer, Metallic, etc) and another RaceGroup tag for their specific species (Red, Solar, Sea, Brine, etc).
• Added the Hero.MinionStHa tag, which functions similar to Hero.MinionStUp. However MinionStHa only adds a +1 selector per each tag applied to the animal companion.
• Added the Hero.RuneForPow tag, which runeforged weapons apply to the hero. If more than one runeforged weapon is carried by the same hero, penalties are applied (as mentioned in the item powers themselves).
• Added the Hero.Hasted tag, which anything which is applied to the hero anytime the combat effects of Haste are added. This ensures that only one haste effect ever applies it's effects to the hero, preventing the untyped bonuses from the same effect stacking.

"The Gnoll Killer campaign trait from Legacy of Fire was missing it's situational."

So glad this trait received some loving with this recently update. However, I'm still not seeing how to add the trait bonus after download/installing 11.7? This is on a new installation of HL data files where I removed all the custom .user files I previously had and created a new 1st level Ranger.

I now get this error with the new update.

It's from the community files.

So when the community file gets its next update it should go away? (Getting the same report.)

Yes. LW had server issues and I never got to the forums or update until very late. I will do my best to get the next release out tonight.

Thanks.
