Version 12.13 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available! This month we add content from Blood of Shadows and Darklands Revisited, the Southlands campaign setting from Kobold Press, and the first part of the Hell's Vengeance adventure path, The Hellfire Compact. Here's a full list of changes for this month's release:

New Releases

This includes all the encounters from the first issue of the AP, in an easy to search format and with paizo's art. The remaining issues of the AP will be released as updates to complete the package as they are released to the public. As with the Rise of the Runelords GM content, no additional packages are required to make use of these portfolios, even though they draw on races from the Bestiary and other sources!

Data File Authoring

• Added the ReqSplFoc tag group, which are used to trigger an automatic pre-requisite for Spell Focus in the chosen school.

The Arcanist Class isn't supposed to be able to choose the Expanded Arcana Feat. That's what the Expanded Preparation Feat is for (as clarified in the last Errata/FAQ).

Mind linking to the FAQ?

[charlieluce]

Looks like it didn't get called out explicitly in the FAQ, seems like the decision was that the Errata made it clear enough.

I agree that the original wording of Expanded Preparation was less than helpful, and the hybrid nature of the Arcanist has made for all manner of rules arguments.

The Shadow Creature Template is not an option in the Summon Monster module even after choosing the Army of Darkness revelation.

Thank you. I did look there before asking here and it still showed the 12.13 update.
