What's the race of this character? Any other settings that might be affecting this?

Thanks for all the incredible time and hard work you put in!

There may not be placeholders for those class specials appearing in the feats list, but as far as I can tell, the class specials are properly applying the effects of those feats.

When I add the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, and choose Sawtooth sabre, the sawtooth sabres are switching to light weapons (as both regular weapons and custom/magic weapons). What are you seeing?

(As a reminder, EWP: Sawtooth sabre was a bonus feat for the SRD version of the RMA, but in the ISWG version, it's instead a pre-req for the class, so if you originally created this character before the ISWG was added, make sure you've fixed the feats that would have been required to choose this class).

When I add the Genie, Shaitan race to a blank character, the feats it has are: Combat Casting, Greater Bull Rush, Imporved Bull Rush, Improved Initiative, Martial Weapon Proficiency - All, Power Attack, Quicken Spell-Like Ability: Glitterdust, and Simple Weapon Proficiency - All.

What are you seeing? What problem are you encountering?

Variants can currently be made using the editor - start with the original race and make the changes required for the variant. You can also bootstrap the Advanced Creature template to the race, instead of having to make all the template's changes individually.

When I click the "Holy Vindicator" tab, there is a box which reads, "Add more magic levels (7 left)!" So, I click that box, then a combo box pops up that says "+1 level" and then I click the combo box to select my Paladin class (the divine spell casting class which gets the casting bonus.) When I select paladin, I get a dialogue box which says, "Level too high to support psionics" and then it sets my character so that it has NO spellcasting ability. If I delete the +1 level I just added, I get the spellcasting ability back, but it shows me still needing to add 7 magic levels. If I try to add more than 1 magic level, the other 6 combo boxes only say "No Selection" - I can't even select paladin. So, while my character should have a caster level of 24, it only shows as 18 (because it's 17 from the 20 levels of paladin, and only adds 1 magic level from being a holy vindicator, instead of adding 7.)

I get the same errors that I did with the holy vindicator, so maybe the problem isn't in the class itself, but in the "add magic levels" routine.

Hero Lab does not currently support any elements of a class going beyond level 20, and using prestige classes to bring the magic level of a class above 20th level is not a way to get around this limitation. I am sorry that the errors that are reported when this happens are not very clear.

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

the pureblood azlanti gets +2 on all abilities. (works fine)
but then the rules need to see another selecton of +2 on a selected ability.
(because of the human base; one ability +2)

(i can easily compensate by adding a -2 permanent on the selected ability)

That is how it works if I read the book right. The Azlanti are made of win.

Sorcerers and other spontaneous casters should never have had Custom/Metamagic spells - they don't need to prepare their spells with metamagic, they just choose at the time of casting to apply a metamagic feat. When you do so, check of a use of any of the spells that are at the correct level, instead of the spell you actually cast.

I may be wrong, and one of these might have been GM-randomized treasure, but I know that one of them was legitimately in the AP. So, do you think you could change bucklers to be darkwood compatible? I keep getting an exception thrown for No Metal items for my druid, and he's got a wooden buckler.

Here's the existing thread on this subject: http://forums.wolflair.com/showthrea...t=wood+buckler

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.
