Howdy. Just purchased Hero Lab over the past couple of days and finally got to sit down and enter a character for a game I'm playing. Within minutes I've hit my first stumbling block that I, less a programmer than I am just some d00d, cannot figure out.
Essentially, I have a +2 magic shortsword that the GM has doing 2d6 base damage instead of the normal 1d6. I was able to create the item in the editor and import (if that's even the correct terminology) the item to be available. My problem is that even though I copied the shortsword entry to create it, my character's Weapon Focus: Shortsword won't apply. I attempted to bootstrap it, but I'll confess that I have no idea what that even means, forget trying to get it to work.
The tool has a logic to it that makes me feel this is absolutely possible to get working, but my brain lacks the cody bits to make that happen. Any advice for a guy?
