Noob Questions

[solomani]

Hi all,

I am migrating my game from 5e to PF and I reactivated my HeroLab account/sub to help with the PC migration. However, I have not touched/used HeroLab in almost a decade and I had some questions.

I did google some tutorials but they are all 7+ years old so not sure they are valid. I am using the Classic app, but happy to use it online if these are limitations with classic:

• Custom Magic Weapon/Armor - is it possible to add a descriiption of some kind? For example a sword that can cast a spell 1/day.
• Monsters - is it possible to reduce the HD of a mosnter or it only goes up?
• Is it possible to create a custom template? or, failing that, adding supernatural abilities like incopreal somwhere?

Thanks in advance.

You can do all of that with Classic. Online has no editor and less customisation.
Most custom stuff will either require you to use an adjustment, or do some basic editor work if a template/adjustment doesn't already exist.
Monsters - adding HD or class levels is very easy. To lower HD you can use adjustments like "Racial HD".

Perfect, thank you. Is there a way to add more traits? Even if it has no mechanical impact and is just a text block for my own reference.

Certainly... feats, traits, etc can all be added with the editor. The easiest way if find an existing thing that it similar, copy it and then edit. You can always ask for assistance here and we'll do what we can to help you out.
