Temporary and permanent ability scores...

I've got a belt of giant's strength and HL is treating it as a temporary modifier no matter what I do... how do I fix this?
 
Um what makes you think its a "Temporary" bonus? If I put a belt of Str/Con +2 on a level 1 fighter with an 11 strength it becomes 13. If I try and take the Power Attack feat that requires a 13 Strength its listed as valid.

So what makes you think its a Temporary bonus?
 
It shows as temporary in HL and on the pdf sheet as well. It shows the base ability a slash, and then in greyed out text, the temporary modifier. If HL was detecting it as permanent, it would show up in dark text by itself.
 
Actually that's the difference between your current score and your "Base score" which is what your scores would be essentially naked. It's still treated as permanent, but it's displayed that way because the strength bonus isn't inherent to the character, and thus could be lost any time the character loses the belt.
 
Yes, Hero lab currently has no way to distinguish between temporary and permanent bonuses, so all bonuses are treated as permanent. That's a limitation we're aware of and would like to fix, but it's not one most people run afoul of and will also be pretty complicated, so it's low priority at the moment.
