New User, Some Questions

My friend and I downloaded Hero Lab and were blown away by how great it was! We played around with the demo for a few hours and realized that it was definitely worth buying. And so we did.

I've got a few questions now that I'd appreciate some assistance on.

In my game I've mixed and matched some skills to better suit our group. One of which was combining Swim, Climb and the Jump function of Acrobatics into an Athletics (Str) skill. I also merged Escape Artist with Acrobatics. How can I emulate this in the program? I've managed to mess around with the editor but am rather new at this and would like to know how to do it correctly.

How can I create a new skill and make it a class skill for certain classes?

How can I remove existing skills from the skill list?

I have a house rule that weapon finesse is a property of weapons and not a feat. How can I apply this to the program in the most elegant fashion?

When levelling a wizard, does the program prompt you about how many spells you learn for free per level?

Thank you for your time ^_^
 
Easiest way to deal with the weapon finesse thing would be to just give it to everyone as a bonus feat. Go to the adjustment tab and in other adjustments add "Feats, Total". Add it and increase the counter to +1 then they can get their free weapon finesse.

I don't think you'd be able to replace all 3 skills, but you can make Athletics in the editor and replace climb in the replacething ID by typing skClimb there and every class that gets climb should get Athletics now. It would still have swim on there but I dont think you can remove it...Unless you replaced it.
Same thing for the Escape Artist and Acrobatics, one would still show up.

I am not 100% sure on the skill thing though, I have never attempted to do it.

Also, the Wizard does not tell you how many spells to gain each level. Just have to remember you only get 2 new ones each level.
