One of the most important uses, to me, of a tool like Hero Lab is simplfying adding templates to things. However, the system doesn't seem to currently have all of the SRD monsters and normal animals in place, and I'm not sure how to add them -- does the 'race' tab allow selection of a creature type, such as undead or ooze, with the saves, hit dice, etc, correctly calculated?

Currently we don't include all the monsters from the SRD. We include all the ones that can be used as player characters, as well as a bunch of templates that allow you to create vampires, skeletons, zombies, etc. The remaining monsters will be added in a future release.

I know you don't include them...but I was wondering how I could add them myself, as needed. For example, in today's game, I had some half-plant dire wolves. Adding the half-plant template is easy in HL, but I wasn't sure how to add the wolves.

Just add them as a race in the editor, and check the "NPC Race" checkbox to indicate that they're not normally for players. If you want them to have natural claw attacks and so on, you can bootstrap the "Claw", "Bite", etc picks like some of the sample races do. The Hound Archon is a reasonably complex example you can refer to. -- Colen McAlister, colen@wolflair.com Chief Engineer, Lone Wolf Development |
