Hi all,
I'm using Hero Lab primarily for DMing, and I end up using a homemade custom output to print statblocks on index cards for easy management during the game.
The one hiccup that I've run in to is with poison attacks. There are many, many different kinds of poison effects in the bestiary, and this information appears to be in the hero lab bestiaries, but the only data actually sent to the .XML for the custom output appears to be the fact that there is a poison attack, but not any of the details.
For example, take the Tatzylwyrm (Bestiary 3). In hero lab, it gives you the following text on the "Specials" tab:
But when you custom output the XML file and check out the entry for that special, you only get the following information:
It seems like the wrong bit of text is getting sent to the XML in the description section, as "You have a poison attack" is redundant at that point, and what you really need are the actual details of the poison effect.
Am I going crazy and missing something obvious? Is this just a bug? Any easy fix?
Am I even posting this in the right place?
Cheers,
