Starting this version, those errors are ignored, and Hero Lab simply warns you (via a validation error) if you try to use anything that references content from the package you don’t have. (You won’t be able to use the missing content, it’ll simply be ignored.)

With the new version of HL the License problem that I have dealt for the Pathfinder Community Packs is gone. Meaning all the different
Pathfinder Packs are going away!
In there place will be "ONE" single "
Pathfinder Pack" that will contain all the community work in a single download. If you don't have the correct license then those "pieces" will now give a nice "warning message" but the Packs will still load.

The power of this ability is amazing actually. In simple terms Pathfinder and d20 community members will use this feature heavily for "spells". In the past if you added a new class and you want to give that class access to a specific spell you had to make a copy of the spell in the editor to add the class tag (ie sClass.cHelpXXX).
Now you simple extend that tag onto the spell instead:
Code:
<extthing thing="spCureMod2" group="sClass" tag="cHelpDrd"/>
The above code allows the Druid access to 2nd level Cure Moderate Wounds spell. No more making "copies" of spells to just allow a class access to them.
