Enhancements &amp Changes

• Factions and Renown are now supported.

Bug Fixes

• The Hide/Remove Language adjustment was causing an error.
• The Archery combat style had an incorrect summary.
• Remarkable Athlete wasn't applying its bonus correctly to initiative.
• A custom monster with a challenge rating below 1 wasn't having this shown in the stat block.
• Proficiency dice weren't working correctly for the iPad dice roller.
• On-hit effects for natural attacks are now displayed in the pop-up info window.
• An error was sometimes generated when generating XML output.
• Two-weapon fighting wasn't working correctly for equipment sets.
• The climbing ability had a typo.
• No error was being reported when equipping an off-hand weapon with a shield.
• An unarmed strike can now base its attack damage off an attribute other than strength.

Data File Authoring

• Added the Special tag group, for Weapon Specials. The first tag in this group, Special.MartArts, is for weapons that benefit from a monk's martial arts ability that normally wouldn't.
• Add the Helper.SplSave tag. This tag displays a spell's DC if it's different than the standard DC for its class.
• The "Ability" tab in the editor can no longer be used to build abilities which appear on the Weapons tab as attacks - use the new "Attack" tab for that instead.
• Classes can now have more than one hit die per level.
• Added extra spell output functionality for configurables. The cfgSplSum field has been added to hold a summary of the spells added to the configurable, and the Helper.OutCfgSpl tag which needs to be assigned to the configurable in order for the spell summary text to be displayed on the printed sheet.
