Version 9.7 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available

[Aaron]

Deep Magic, from Kobold Press is now available for purchase! We also have the player content from Pathfinder Adventure Path #83 and #84, and monthly Bug fixes. Unfortunately, between that and all our work on the upcoming Advanced Class Guide, the People of the River sourcebook has slipped back to the August release.

New Releases!

• Deep Magic is now available as a stand alone package from Kobold Press!

Enhancements &amp Changes

• Added player content from Pathfinder #83 "The Slave Trenches of Hakotep".
• Added player content from Pathfinder #84 "Pyramid of the Sky Pharaoh".
• Several races and templates which had been unsourced have been given the new "Bestiary I Free Content" source. We wanted to keep these freely available for character/monster creation, but at the same time make it possible to exclude them if you are running a "Core Rulebook Only" type of game. The source should be on by default so users don't need to do anything.
• The four Age Effects adjustments have been combined into a single one which lets you pick what age your character is.
• The Timeless Body abilities of the Monk and Druid have been implemented.
• Based on a ruling by the paizo developers, the attribute modifiers of certain Dhampir heritages (Ru-Shi and Ajibachana) have been changed.
• Psionic Characters can now print their known powers to a dossier with either full descriptions or only brief summaries.

Data File Authoring

• When creating a deity you can now assign it an explicit tag to control what order the deity is shown in the selection list. Any diety with such a tag is shown before other, untagged Deities (such as the default golarion deities), and those with the same explicit tag are sorted then by their category and name. The higher the explicit tag's value, the lower that grouping appears in the diety list (but always before those without a tag). For example, you could create a national pantheon and give each god belonging to it a explicit.3 tag, which would cause them to group together before the default golarion deities. Within that grouping however, they would be organized alphabetically. You could then define several gods related to a particular mountain, give them all an explicit.10 tag, and they would appear below the national pantheon (but still before the Golarion deities) in their own group organized alphabetically. Within the editor, this is referred to as the "Deity Category Order Group".

The update has broken the favored class abilities that you choose besides hp and sp. Example a human fighter can choose cmd but there is no way to choose which you want. Same for human sorcerer. You can not choose which level of spell you want.

Dwayne, please submit a bug report so that our developers can look into the issue. It's easy for bug reports to get lost or overlooked if they're in the forums. Thanks!

[Dwayne]

Thanks Liz. I also sent in a bug report.

[Aaron]

The issue should be fixed in our next release, which may be soon.
