Weapon conferring AC bonus

I'm trying to create an entry for the Staff of Defense from Lost Mine of Phandelver. How can I get the item to:
A) show up as a wieldable weapon?
B) confer a +1 to the wielder's armor class?
 
Do you know how to use the Hero Lab Editor? If not, can you link a description of the item here?
 
STAFF OF DEFENSE
This slender, hollow staff is made of glass yet is as strong as oak. It weighs 3 pounds. You must be attuned to the staff to gain its benefits and cast its spells.
While holding the staff, you have a +1 bonus to your Armor Class.
The staff has 10 charges, which are used to fuel the spells within it. With the staff in hand, you can use your action to cast one of the following spells from the staff if the spell is on your class's spell list: tnege armor (1 charge)or shield (2 charges). No components are required.
The staff regains Id6 + 4 expended charges each day at dawn. If you expend the staff's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff shatters and is destroyed.
 
Hansmo:

I've created the Staff of Defense for you. I'll post it to the GIT site. I can send you the .user file as an attachment if you send me a private message with your email address or another way to send it to you.

I simply used a Staff of Power as a basis, modifying it in the HL Editor.
 
Mergon:

Appreciate it. Though to be clear it wasn't for me. I simply posted the item description before the original. But your effort is appreciated nonetheless :)
 
Thanks folks. Sorry it took me a few days to get back here.

I have used the editor a little. I was able to do the spells and charges, I just couldn't figure how to make it wieldable and confer an AC bonus. I really appreciate y'all helping me out.
 
np, its part of the reason were here. It nice to help people out with problems which stumped us at one time or another. :)
 
If you go through to the community pack github, check out the wiki. I've started creating a database of useful code. AC is listed.
 
I sent SFornelli a copy of the user file via email with instructions about how to install and activate it.
 
daplunk, can you share the link to the github site?

Also, can someone point me to where I would read up on how to access .user files from my ipad?

Simply put you don't. You can't not access or get to the .user files from the iPad. To do any editor work you MUST use Window or a Mac with the HL desktop software.

I think he was asking how to get non-community pack custom material, currently in .user format, to be usable on HL on an IPad. I was sure I saw instructions on how to do so posted in these forums . . .
 
After the latest Community Pack update, I started getting an error saying that there was a duplicate entry for the staff. I uninstalled the LMoP file, but now can't find the staff to add to a character.

Am I missing something obvious?

*Edit* To answer my own question, yes, I was missing something obvious. I had to add the new LMoP to the data sources for my character.
