M&M 3rd ed. Close Attack and Ranged Attack skill bug

f you buy Close Attack skill, it only applies to a single attack by the rulebook. However, Hero Lab will only charge you once and you can add as many attacks as you'd like to it. Oops! Anyway, figured I'd point that out in case anyone else missed it.

And another one:
Ranged Attack: Throw should apply to all thrown items (such as shuriken) but Hero Lab treats those separately. It still only charges you once, but on the output, unless you specify both "Thrown" and "Shuriken" the bonus is only given to the one specified.
 
I'm a little late getting back to you on this one, but you really should be adding a new Close Attack or Ranged Attack for each weapon you want to add (and, of course, after 2, it's cheaper to just buy the Advantage).
 
Just to follow up, I was told that this is intended behavior. Being able to add multiple attacks to the Close (or Ranged) Attack skill allows them to easily encompass arrays or narrow specializations, for example having Close Attack 5 (Sword) to model being able to have +5 in general with swords, then designating the attacks for the Device sword you have as well as the attacks from the two Equipment swords you're carrying.
