Version 1.8 of the 5th Edition SRD files for Hero Lab is now available. This update features enhancements, bug fixes, and data file authoring updates. Here's the full changelog:
Enhancements & Changes- Temporary hit point pools have been added. Now temporary hit points from sources such as the false life spell can be tracked.
- Keeping track of projects undertaken during downtime has been added. This can be found under "Optional Rules" on the configure hero window - when this rule is enabled, a new "Downtime" tab appears. Now users will be able to keep track of long-term projects taken between adventures, such as the crafting of magic items or the construction of keeps and strongholds.
- Custom monsters can now set their multitattack text in the "Custom Monster Details" section of the race tab. This will be displayed in the stat block and Special tab as normal. If your creature can attack simultaneously with claws, a bite, and a stinger attack, you'll be able to see it.
- The tiefling's infernal legacy ability has been split into three separate abilities. This will make it easier for variant tieflings to replace individual spells granted by this ability.
Bug Fixes- Magic weapons and armor now weigh as much as the base item by default.
- On the background tab, if the same background trait was rolled twice, deleting one of them would leave you with a trait that couldn't be deleted.
- Goggles of night were raising an error when activated.
- Common clothes had the wrong price.
- A paladin with the Oath of Devotion was getting their constant protection from evil and good at first level.
Data File Authoring- The ability to rename a class's spells and spellbook is now available in the editor.
- Hit die size is now automatically set according to the race's size. This can still be overridden in the editor.
