How to I create a special ability category?

[MNBlockHead]

I thought I would take a stab and creating a new class in Hero Lab. In particular the "Savant" class recently published by ENWorld's EN5ider (https://www.patreon.com/posts/savant-basic-23450466)

My first snag is that for class features where you have to make a selection, such as a bard school, you would need to select which category the special ability belongs to.

I need to create a special ability category called "Aptitude", under which I will create several three aptitudes, each which gives additional abilities at different levels.

How do I go about doing this?

Custom Abilities are defined under the class tab, Custom Abilities tab. You will want to build your custom class first as a normal 20 level class and go from there. Custom Abilities have an Available to Class option, you select your custom class there, and they show up as custom abilities. You should be able to name the custom ability on the class tab under Custom Abilities somewhere near the bottom of the scroller...

Thanks RavenX, I'll give it another shot when I can find some more free time.
