Using the spell effects for actions is a nice touch, you might want to edit you top post just to mention that also.

Yea, it says "Adding special abilities in FG", If that's unclear I can change it

That should be fine, I guess I did not see it first time.

thanks for making the videos trueshots. i have a question,being a total noob to FG and HL is it possible to only make my modifications to my character in HL and have them properly reflected in FG? for example when i gain a level and i use HL to make the changes do i need to manually change the info in FG?

As you can't export your PC from Fantasy Grounds into HeroLab, in a long running campaign the character can quickly become out-of-synch especially where the inventory is involved as this tends to change a lot as you're playing. So, HeroLab tends to get used for the mechanics of levelling a character, but the player applies the changes manually to their PC in the campaign.

But, you can absolutely do everything within HeroLab and then import that character into Fantasy Grounds if you wish - if it is into a long running campaign this will appear as another character in FG and you'll have to select the new PC to play.

For Pathfinder Society (PFS) games Hero Lab is perfect - these one off scenarios give clear rewards that you can easily apply to your character in HeroLab after each game and you can export the character into FG make sure it's OK and export the FG XML to send to a GM before a PFS game.

thank you very much. It may sound funny but I have been agonizing over this for a few days, I did not want to purchase the additional modules in herolab until I had an answer.

Also wanted to say. You can make your changes in HeroLab then upload your character again to FG (to your local "Manage Characters") You will then have 2 copies. You can then open them both and edit your existing character with the new herolab character with losing any of the "abilities" you may have added earlier to the 1st copy. Hope this makes sense. Good luck!
