Ahh ok this is located on the Character tab. That lets you turn sources on and off.

Using the URL you listed is the only way to get the Pack on the iPad.

iPad info with Pictures:

When you start the App click on "updates" at the bottom. On this new screen you have the "Add new update source (ie URL)". Make sure you entered the URL

http://www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/5e/updates.xml

Next is after you downloaded and installed the Pack you should see TWO packages:

After you start a character the "Character" tab should look like this:

And its here that you will turn on the new community options. Once you do that you will be able to see the missing stuff.

Hmmmm . . . I wonder if Thunder got both the official HL 1.3 pack AND the 5e Community pack?

Yes, ShadowChemosh those are the screens I see on my iPad. It is an iPad Pro 9.7", I don't know if that matters.

Then I just started a new hero and the only Oaths I see for the Paladin are Devotion and Oathbreaker that are complete, the Ancients, Crown and Vengeance are loaded with "Placeholder" tags.

I do appreciate the advice gents.

Sounds like it's working then?

If you want the place holders updated as a priority feel free to send me a text document with paraphrased text. Fluff text needs to be 20% different. Mechanics can be left the same.

Someone just did that with the Cleric for example so that will be updated in the next release.

Thunder, I dont know what you are using the programs for, but having used Both Hero Labs and Fight Club id say there are pros and cons to both.

Hero Labs is an excellent character builder, that really guides you through the process nicely and shows you your options...however its use as an on screen Character Sheet seems incredibly lacking, and the price point is high. Hero Labs Printed character sheets are decent.

Fight Club almost requires you to make your character elsewhere and then input it...but once youve input everything its an amazing on screen tool, and the Spell List is completely unparalleled. There is no print out feature.


I must admit that after switching from Ipad to a windows tablet, the only thing Im actually missing is the Fight Club app, Hero Labs is an OK stand in but just doesnt cut it as an easy on table tool.

/EDIT I forgot to add that Hero Labs works within the boundaries of the law and is a respectable company, where as the fight club app is a lot more questionable...and that means a lot in my book.
