I'm making a new race in the HL editor and I'm running in to a problem with it. The race has the constrict ability, but when the character takes the "Final Embrace" feat it has nothing to select from and shows no output on the weapons page. Help?
 
Constrict is done very inconsistently among the various creatures in Hero Lab. Some have it as a Cust Racial Special, some as a Racial Special, etc.

Not a lot of info on what you've created so far, but to get the Constrict weapon to show, you have to have the wConstrict thing bootstrapped.
 
The selector for the Final Embrace feat is to select which natural weapon the constrict deals damage as since it "deals damage equal to your unarmed strike or primary natural weapon melee attack". It should be able to pick the unarmed strike, but it seems that's not an available choice, which is a bug.
 
Ah, yeah, I totally wasn't getting what you were trying to do. So does this race have a specific Natural Weapon that is allowing the constrict ability? For instance, Serpentfolk, Nagas, etc have a 'tentacle' weapon that then woudl be used for the Final Embrace feat to gain Grab and Constrict abilities with that 'tentacle' (representing their serpent body).

Just adding 'Constrict' alone does not usually make sense, as Constrict is not actually a weapon, but a way of using that weapon for added damage.
