This month we step beyond the boundaries of civilization and into the wilds beyond. Ultimate Wilderness brings us a new full 20-level class, the shifter, putting animalistic fury into the hands of your player characters. Plus an assortment of archetypes, feat, magic items and spells intended for adventuring beyond the lights of civilization.

Ultimate Wilderness

New Releases
  • Ultimate Wilderness is now available as a new package!
  • Player and GM content from City in the Deep, Chapter 4 of the Ruins of Azlant is now available! The encounter library has been pushed back to the next release, sorry for the delay!

Enhancements &amp Changes
  • The Stunning Barrier and Greater Stunning Barrier spell adjustments have been donated by user, SunderedShadow. Thanks for your contribution!
  • Leshy Warden archetype now disables familiar class features and the plant domain if the familiar is not alive.
  • Gingerbread familiar has now been implemented.

Bug fixes
  • When picking bonus feats, Warpriests now treat their Warpriest level as their Fighter level, and use their Warpriest level instead of their base attack bonus to qualify for feats.
  • Paueliel had a typo in its description.
  • A mole familiar wasn't granting its bonus to its master.
  • The "Exceptional Reach (all)" construct ability was not affecting the general reach.
  • The Pathfinder Unchained Alternate Crafting Rules were not affecting the crafted cost of custom build weapons and armor.
  • Certain Magic Weapon/Armor Materials were causing errors to be thrown when printing gear lists.
  • The Elemental Bastion ability was disabling itself when wearing heavy armor made of mithral.
  • The Ancestral Weapon (Numeria) trait wasn't functioning for weapons made of alchemical silver.
  • The Studied Target ability was not adding a bonus to the Survival skill.
  • The Inquisitor class was not proficient with repeating hand crossbows.
  • For pathfinder society characters, certain archetypes that would replace the bonus feat recieved in leui of the Mount Training class ability were not removing that bonus feat.
  • The Mystic Past Life Samsaran ART was unable to select psychic spellcasting classes.
  • The Ghost Mount of the Ghost Rider archetype wasn't getting some of the default feat/tricks it was entitled to.
  • The Orcish Hornbow couldn't be selected by weapon focus and was determining its proficiency incorrectly.
  • Improved Monster Lore was increasing the benefit of Monster lore more than it should have been.
  • Druid archetypes that grant wild shape at later levels with a different effective level were not moving the various wild shape abilities to their new levels.
  • Leshy Warden archetype was not granting Str and Dex bonuses to leaf leshy familiar.
  • The Rostland Bravo was gaining Dazzling Display at first level.
  • Equipping the "Amulet of the Spirits (battle)" would not immediately show its entries in the "Tracked Resources" table on the in-play tab.
  • Oracles with the Simpleminded curse were applying their Wisdom bonus to DC multiple times to spells with more than 1 spell school/subschool/descriptor once they reached 10th level.

Data File Authoring
  • All content in user files is now assumed to be forbidden for Pathfinder Society characters (you no longer have to specify the Helper.NoPathSoc tag - it is automatically assumed to be present on all things defined in user files). To indicate something which may be taken by a PFS character, check the new "Allowed for Pathfinder Society Characters" checkbox (which adds the Helper.PFSUserOK tag).
  • The procedure ChgFlyMan has been added which replaces the maneuver tag for flying by a given number of steps.
  • Added the KinElement to the fShowWhat tag group. This selects from the kineticist elements.
  • Added EidAllowFm tag group for unchained eidolon subtypes. The presence of these tags on the eidolon subtypes tells Hero Lab which base forms are allowed for each subtype (handled by the procedure EidAllwRac) as well as which subtypes are allowed for each base form (handled by the procedure EidAllwSub).
  • Added Hero.FamHPFull tag. Used by the Protector familiar archetype, it causes the familar's HP to be equal to its master's rather than one-half.
  • Added Hero.NoFamBonus tag. Used by the Gingerbread Familiar ability, applying this tag to the master prevents the normal familiar bonus from being applied (for example +4 to Initiative). Does not prevent the Alertness feat from being applied, which is still handled by the Hero.NoFamAlert tag.
  • Familiars can now apply their bonuses to themselves instead of their master. Apply the tag Hero.FamGetsBon to the main character or the familiar before PreLevel/10000 to have the familiar get the bonus instead of the master. When now implementing a familiar's bonus call the procedure FamilFocus and transition to focus.container when you apply the bonus. See the FamilFocus procedure to details.
  • The tag Helper.MinGrantSp has been added to familiars/companions that grant spells to their master, such as the witch's familiar.
  • Familiars now gain their abilities via class abilities instead of racial abilities. These are bootstraped by the configurable cfgArcFamil which in turn has been added to all familiar "classes." Replacing/modifying familiar abilities now uses the AbReplace and AbModify tag groups instead of their racial equivalents.
  • Setting a creature's CR to -5 will have it display as "CR –" with an XP of 0.
  • Helper.TargNoText has been added. If this is present on a pick that adds text to another thing via a Target tag, text will not be added to the target.
  • HasAbility.Hexes has been added to class helpers and archetypes that grant a hero witch/shamman hexes (such as magus hexcrafter). This is uses in feats that require the hex class feature as a prereq.
 
Ultimate Wilderness

I have purchased the Annual Packet for 2017, but cannot access the Ultimate Wilderness content. The check box for it is grayed out and the program states that I need to purchase it. Please advise.

Have you tried reactivating your license under the License menu? That usually dies it for me after an update.
 
We just released the v14.1 update, which fixes bugs with Ranger and Monk bonus feats not ignoring their pre-requisites properly.
 
Is there a plan to fix the Extra Evolution feat for Eidolons for the Summoner(Unchained). When I attempt to select it, the error "Eidolon Required" appears. I can select it, but it does not add an additional Evolution to the eidolon.
 
Not sure if this is happening for anyone else, but the Warpriest still is giving an error if you try to select fighter feats in the bonus feat section.

Has hero lab created the eidolon in your portfolio yet? Under the summoner tab you need to add the eidolon, at which point that feat should work correctly.
 
Mount Error

Since the Ultimate Wilderness update and bugfix, I get the following error: "Unexpected error occurred when adding pick 'cSumMount' to container." Does the summoner no longer have a mount evolution, or is this just a HeroLab thing?
 
Unchained summoner created Eidolon selected Quadruped Agathoin and there is no Fire Resistance or Immunity option also took summoner up to level 20 and it wont let me add more than 4 points of strength on a medium Eidolon?
 
Greetings,
I am creating a Rostland Bravo for a Kingmaker campaign. When I purchase an Aldori Dueling Sword, it comes into the weapons tab as a 'dueling sword'. However in the Adventurer's Guide, it states,
"ALDORI DUELING SWORD PRICE
20 GP
TYPE one-handed exotic melee WEIGHT 3 lbs.
DMG (S) 1d6 DMG (M) 1d8 CRIT 19–20/×2 TYPE S
These slightly curved swords measure just over 3 feet in length.
An Aldori dueling sword can be used as a martial weapon (in
which case it functions as a longsword), but if you have the feat
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Aldori dueling sword), you can use
the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead
of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with an Aldori dueling
sword sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon. You can
also wield an Aldori dueling sword in two hands to apply 1-1/2
times your Strength bonus to damage rolls."

Hero Lab doesn't seem to be be adding the Dex bonus properly. Please advise.

It works perfectly for me - does your Hero have 'Weapon Finesse' as a Feat, in addition to 'Exotic Wpn Prof (Aldori D.S.)' ?

Also - to report bugs go to this thread.

I am still having issues with being able to pick fighter feats on Warpriest characters, even though it says the issue was fixed. Things like Greater Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, etc. are always grayed out in the selection window, with a red error saying "Fighter level X required" etc.

The base attack bonus part seems to work (I can pick feats with BAB = to my level), but not the fighter level part (cannot pick any feats that require fighter levels)

I had a similar issue with my Warpriest after installing Patch 14. After reinstalling Hero Lab as new, then installing Patch 14, my Warpriest Fighter feats were being validated correctly. IMO, installing patch over patch over patch over the last year caused data corruption in the thing the latest patch was supposed to fix.
 
Please use the normal bug tracking system to report bugs, even if the bug is "this fix from the update described in this post isn't working".

Did you also have HL itself updated? This fix requires an update to both the Pathfinder files and HL itself before you'll get the effect. When you downloaded a fresh install, that would mean you definitely got the most recent version of HL itself.
