I want to create a Shillegah weapon to have on my sheet. I've made a copy of a Magic Weapon and have the Strength zeroed out. I am trying to figure out how to make it use Charisma. I see the wOverDMG tag comment above, but not sure how to continue.

The other comments in this thread appear very different than the built in editor in Hero Lab I am using.

I'd basically like to make one that uses the characters Charisma for To Hit and Damage. Then I'll just New (Copy) that one and change it Wisdom.

All these comments seem to be using coding instead of the Hero Lab editor so I am very lost.

Sorry for my ignorance...

So in this case wOverDMG.CHA would use charisma, instead of Strength.

Where do you put, "wOverDMG"?

Within the HL editor, "coding" is still required for "scripts" in order to tell HL what you are actually doing or changing.

There is already a 'Spell Adjustment' for Shillelagh can be selected under the Adjustment tab on a hero. That might be helpful to you.
Unfortunately, I can't help you with using CHA/WIS for attack and damage other than to suggest looking at any feat in the editor that changes the stat used with a weapon.

On the adjust tab HL has adjustments called "Weapon Damage Attribute Override" and "Weapon Melee Attack Attribute Override" that can allow anyone to change a weapon to use Cha/Wis.
