5E Mac Installation

kirkshoulderroll · March 25th, 2016, 12:35 PM

Hi folks,

I'm new to Hero Lab and just purchased the 5E edition. I understand that the community had to put together the information for 5E due to license issues.

When creating a new character, I'm finding some limitations in choices, and I can't tell why.

For instance, trying to created a Rogue, the only Archetype available to choose from is Thief.

Similar problem with choosing Backgrounds - regardless of the character, the only option available is Acolyte.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark

You might try downloading and installing the community pack, the license issues are exactly why you are seeing a very limited set of choices. HL can only legally include content which is in the SRD, which means it starts with only 1 feat choice, for example.

Thank you - I did manage to figure it out. Sadly, I had just failed to select the sources on the Hero settings window. Derp.
