This is something you are allowed to do. I'll add to my to-do list that it needs to warn you that adding a specialty will break the group, but I don't want to forbid it.

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to replicate this error. I added the Gunslinger Adept Character, added an extra BP, and switched to advancement mode. I then added 3 Perception increases, bringing it up to 6, and when I tried to add a fourth, that skill was not one of the options for selection.

Greetings,

I think I've found a bug in Hero Lab for Shadowrun in how it's handling Power Foci. Per Shadowrun 4th Anniversary page 199 : "Regardless of the number of foci a magician may possess, only one focus may add its Force to any single dice pool."

But it appears that Power Foci are being added even when a higher specific foci, for instance Summoning Foci, are being added. I've checked all over for exclusions to this rule for Power Foci and have yet to find one. Help?

Tim

Thanks for reporting this. I've added it to the to-do list.

New to the forums, been using HL for a little while now, for both Pathfinder and Shadowrun. A great product, having lots of fun using it.

With respect to the Shadowrun game system, I'm noticing two oddities that may be bugs.

First:

* Add a weapon to your hero, then add some suitable ammo to that weapon, setting its subtype appropriately (e.g., assault rifle)
* Now give this loaded weapon to a vehicle owned by the hero, with the option of vehicles as separate heroes

In my case, this causes validation failures and, upon investigation, the ammo subtype appears to be gone, even though the ammo is still in the weapon, and although the ammo may be edited from the weapon's details view a subtype may no longer be set.

Thanks for reporting this. I've added it to the to-do list.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

In my case, an error box appears indicating a circular reference ("A inside of B, where B is inside of A", or some such). Moving anything else in this way works fine, only armor seems to cause a problem.

Thanks for reporting this, I've added it to my to-do list.

I get an validation error when adding a linguasoft to a data sprite. It states that my sprite needs the biowire echo.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

And, sprites can't learn complex forms.

I'm sorry, I'm not able to replicate these errors. When I add a data sprite and it has a rating of 3+, the Resonance tab turns red and it says I've chosen 0 of my 1 complex forms. When I click on that table to add a new form, Linguasoft is among the ones I can choose.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

I can't find any rules that allow TacNet as a complex form.

Without putting ANYTHING on it, just straight up stock when you go to it to start doing
customization, it has a validation error: Weapon Mount(Fixed, External, Remote): This vehicle has used 2 of its 1 available weapon mounts. It puts this error twice, and
the drone has 2 weapon mounts.

Fixed in the next update. Thanks for the report.
