Summoner's Sidekick in HLO
 

Hey Folks!

I was wondering how does one use the Summoner's Sidekick in Hero Lab Online. I've looked around a bit online and have a general idea of how to use it in HLC but I'm baffled when it comes to using it in HLO.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I second this question

Third! I cannot figure out how to create summoned creatures in HLO!

Hoping to figure this out too.

As is, I've had to create each summoned creature (both fiendish and celestial, my Sorcerer is TN) as an NPC that I can transfer into the scene if summoned. Not the most efficient way to do it. But it is working until we can figure out an easier way.

Hello,

It looks as though we overlooked this a while ago, apologies for that!

As for the question at hand, the simple answer here is simply that this is not currently possible as Hero Lab Online does not yet sport the functionality to organize, display, import, or share any data from the various Encounter Library products that were created for Hero Lab Classic. This IS something we are working toward getting added to the Online platform but the prospect is somewhat tricker than it may initially seem due to the encryption requirements that are in place on those files that exists to help more rigorously protect that data that doesn't mesh with the Online tool.

Thanks for the reply and explanation on that. What about just being able to import a standard monster from any of our sources without having to create them in a script or as an NPC first?

Like in my example of Summon Monster. I have to have manually created all of the monsters that are summonable and keep them in a folder. It would be much less work for a GM if we could at any point in a session be able to just import (from vault) anything we wantes on the fly.
