You need Seeker of Secrets enabled to buy a Wayfinder.
Here are some things that bug me(many are PFS only related):
Adventurer's Journal is reverse chronological whereas the Prestige Award Journal is chronoligical. I would also like these to scroll together since that is most likely how I would be using them to audit my or others characters chronicles.
Adventurer's Journal should automatically generate a list of items I bought and sold during that scenario so I have a audit trail of where my coinage/wand usage/PA/scrolls/expendables went
Every time I make a custom item it automatically assumes I am going to make another so I have to close the screen it generates
Ability to make a xslt/xml file I can drop in to a folder under the Herolab folder that allows me to control what shows on a character sheet or statblock
Tooltips that show exactly where I am getting the bonuses/penalties from
Please get rid of the 3.5E documentation in the tooltips it is no longer spot
This... All good suggestion, though I would still add to put the journal back to just inputing once, all the reason I have been given why it was separated still make zero sense compared to how much easier user interface would be if we only had to input the same thing in once.
Anything else you can add that supports PFS play would be greatly appreciated!

Just go to the Adjustment Tab and put in an adjustment to change this value to what ever you like.I would like to see the number of traits you can start with be a variable number. 1 to 4 would be great.
Also note HL does NOT stop you from putting in more. It will give you a validation message but that is all. So if you want to just add 10 traits to your character feel free. This holds true for everything in HL (ie Spells, feats, ability scores)...

AHA! I mention a needed feature in another thread and this one appears!
Need Autosave feature, configurable by user to time and even possibly number of iterations (Autosave1, Autosave2, AutosaveLast...etc)
Also, crash recovery on start up ("The last time you ran HeroLab, it exited unexpectedly, would you like to recover that/those profiles?")

Rock Throwing as a selectable ranged weapon, at least for giants.
Colen and I were just discussing this capability last week. We nailed down a way to do this that should work extremely well. Now we just need to carve out the time to add the functionality. Our #1 priority for the next feature update is customizable output, so this probably won't make it into the very next release. However, the solution is mapped out and should definitely be added next year.
This sounds indescribably awesome, Rob. Look forward to the next-next-release - should cut down a lot on the back-and-forth mathematics that currently occupy time we could better use describing the action. Plus the ability to track the duration of effects (both those caused by the players and those inflicted upon them) by round will be great.
I have mentioned part of this request elsewhere, but for spellcasters I think these additions would be quite valuable:
* Target tags for spells.
* Tags for common semi-descriptors (eg: sleep spells) to allow modifiers for these effects to be calculated (ie for elves with the Dreamspeaker racial trait or spells like lullaby) correctly.
* Full spell descriptions for spells: currently there is a disparity between the core content (which usually has just the one-line summary text input for each spell) and add-on content such as Seeker of Secrets or Orcs of Golarion, which has the full description included. For some spells, the one-line summary is wholly inadequate and means looking up the spell in another resource each time one casts it.
I realize the last request involves a fair amount of work going back through the APG and PFRPG books inputting each spell's description; perhaps this is something that could be tackled as a community project, as the spell effects have been undertaken recently? I would certainly be willing to volunteer my time for such an effort (though writing & releasing a .user file with every spell in the PFRPG and APG amended with spell descriptions seems kludgy).
Looking at the Thread I started awhile back, I love how much of the requests have now been added.
There is one thing though that I still find very annoying and would be very useful, especially for Pathfinder Society Players.
The ability to reorder The Item list of stuff you are buying by Column.
It would be a lot easier if I could order my magical items by cost instead of the alphabetical order it is by default only, or to order it by type.
Is this something we will ever see?

Feature Requests: Batch Journal Entries, List Sorting
I love Hero Lab. So much so, in fact, that I'd like to contribute to its continued awesomeness by making suggestions.
1. Would it be possible to include a feature that appends the same journal entry to multiple heroes at once? I've been copying and pasting, but it would be more convenient if I could give each party member (or those I select) the same journal entry with a couple of clicks.
2. Could the program support a sorting and/or grouping feature for lists? I love the filter, but sometimes sorting would be handy. (Side note: I've noticed that while browsing the "Gear" list in Pathfinder, the items' seemingly-alphabetical order starts over at the beginning of the alphabet at least twice.) I'm thinking maybe sort by name (alphabetical) or value for items and sort by name or level for spells. It might also be nice to add a "group by" function for some things; much as the current class selection list is sorted into classes, prestige classes, NPC classes, etc., it could be helpful to sort weapons by weapon type (ranged vs. melee, or light, one-handed, two-handed, etc.) or by damage type (piercing, slashing, bludgeoning, etc.). Even more helpful would be sorting feats into "combat," "metamagic," etc. Also consider grouping "adjustments" based on type-- spells, miscellaneous, etc.
Thanks for a great product, and I hope I've provided some useful ideas.

A few more requests, this time pertaining to the Tactical Console and the window that appears when you click the "eye" button-- I'll refer to it as the "character status window."
3. Party-wide temporary adjustments. Just something that would expedite the application of such things like bardic performances and mass buff spells (specifically "Bless" and "Prayer") in Pathfinder. "Prayer" is particularly time-consuming because just about every creature involved in the battle has to have either the "ally" or "foe" effect applied, which means (as far as I can tell) I have to click the little eye button for each of them, then click the "Other Adjustments" box, then either scroll down or type "prayer" into the filter box and select the appropriate entry, and then move on to the next one. Sounds simple until you do it eleven times per encounter. Speaking of which...
4. Option to show/hide the "Tracked Resources," "Circumstances and Combat Actions," "Conditions," and "Other Adjustments" boxes in the character status window. I find that I use most of these much less than I use the "Other Adjustments" box, and it would be handy to free up some screen space by minimizing the others. Then I wouldn't have to scroll through all of the spells, bardic performances, and other miscellaneous effects my characters regularly experience in order to find the one that's currently being activated. This could help mitigate the lack of party-wide effects (#3 above).
5. Show a character's spells in the character status window like the "Tracked Resources." Literally, just like that. A counter, the name, and a "?" button with mouse-over description. It would rock immensely and keep me from switching back to the main window (the portfolio?), possibly scrolling through the list of creatures, and switching the active character (and tab) every time someone casts a spell.
I apologize in advance if there are already options to do the things I'm requesting. So far, I've not found them, but I'll be happy to have someone point them out to me if they already exist. My goal is not to complain, but to provide feedback and (hopefully) helpful suggestions. As I mentioned in my previous post, I love this program and use it on a daily basis. Literally, every day. My wife has recently become addicted to Pathfinder, and she expects another installment in our adventure every evening. Hero Lab has made it possible by dramatically reducing the amount of prep time I need in order to run a smooth session, and I've actually added creatures to a combat on the spur of the moment only to have them become some of the most memorable encounters in our campaign. My wife has commented more than once that "it would be so hard to keep track of all this stuff without that program." And when your player(s) notice, you know it's working. Keep up the good work, guys!

I would like to see a better implementation of the journal area to more closely resemble PFS scenario records.
Currently as far as I know there is not an easy way to add boons like what you can get at the supported cons (ie.. Demon/devil slayer, aasimar race, tengu race, etc...).
Also I don't understand why the generating box for xp and for prestige are separate as the scenario sheets themselves are not.
I also would like it if there was simply a drop down menu, or perhaps a new window similar to how race or items are selected to allow you to choose from the scenarios that have been published in order to get an entry with all custom fields auto generated.
I would definitely be willing to pay for a separate PFS content package to include these things if you needed to justify the extra programming required.

I would like as a feature if you could add something that gave the breakdown of things going into a skill.
This weekend I had a problem where a player had one thing written in his character sheet (he didn't trust a program) and I had a different number on Hero Lab. It took us a while of digging around and we found that the "tools" hadn't been equipped on the character sheet.
This wasn't the first time something like this wasn't needed.
I'm sure there is some way in the editor to see what is effecting each stat, skill (mainly) and end bonus? You've got descriptions that pop up when you do other things, I'd just like to be able to (at a glance) check what modifiers are going into a stat, skill, or other roll.
If there is a way to do this already (quickly) then I remit. I just think that it'd be a heck of an idea to have it be in a "pop up bubble" like when you hover over equipment etc. you get lots of nice jucy stuff. we just need on that when you check out a skill, you can see +3 int, +1 rank, +3 Class skill, +2 tools (+4 MW tools), etc... and then we can see if there really are troubles in the system. lol.

I agree with this. In fact, I would go so far as to extend it to include all checks in the summary panel, particularly saves, AC, and attack bonuses. Possibly also encumbrance.
The net effect would be a significant reduction in the number of times per session that I say, "Um... I don't know what that includes, let me add it all up."
