My GM came up with some heritages for the Vanara race, which change attributes and racial traits like with the Aasimar and Tiefling. I'm going to be putting them in Hero Lab, so my question is, can I make them work with the preexisting Vanara race, or will I need to make a new race which allows a different heritage to be chosen?

Adding heritages to existing race

Heh, I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew with this one. I'm looking through and I can't figure out how to allow the heritages I've created (I've copied them from the Aasimar ones, following that outline) to show up for the existing Vanara race.
Would they be created under the Racial Cust Special tab under Race? That's where I found the Aasimar and Tiefling ones, along with the Human ethnicities, so that's where I created them.

Ok, I did find the option for Replaces Thing ID, so if need be, could I recreate the Vanara race, with an addition for Heritages, and have it use my created one in place of the built in one?
Looks like I'll try that for now. I have a feeling this is a bit of an overkill for my situation, but hey, I'm learning as I go.

Heritages are built as either primary racial custom specials or secondary racial custom specials (marked by Helper.Secondary)
The field which stores how many a race gets are rGiveSpec (for primary) and rGiveSp2nd (for secondary). Thus, if you are going the mechanic route, you'd only need a single line to add to one of those fields (depending on whether you made the heritages primary or secondary abilities) on any Vanaran race.
