Herolab error?


Product Discussion


I am trying to figure out if I am wrong, or if HL is wrong on this one. I have an Aldori Swordlord based character, with one level of ASL Prestige Class.

I am getting the math out to d8+12 when attacking two handed with the Aldori Dueling Sword. HL has it at d8+13. *headscratch*

Here is the Statblock in question :) And thank you much for the help! :D

Hmmm. Maybe you forgot the +1 enanchement?
Two handed it should be, if I don't miss anything:

+1 magic weapon
+3 str
+6 power attack

It seems I miss something. What lend you to a +12?


Aldori Sword Lord Prestige class gives an ability that gives DEX to Damage w/ an Aldori Dueling Sword. You can use it one or two handed and apply the DEX to Damage. However, this DOES not give x1.5 when using the weapon two handed. It does not say it affects/precludes the additional damage from a two handed Power Attack.

I also realized my number (above) was wrong, too.

It should be:
+4 (DEX), +1 Enchnantment, +4 PA = (+9 one handed), or
+4 (DEX), +1 Enchnantment, +6 PA = (+11 two handed).

If HL is giving me x1.5 when two handing, then it explains it: 1.5x4=6, which is the two extra points of damage on the statblock (where the HL file was tagged Both Hands, Power Attack-ON.


Have you posted this on the HeroLab forums?


nah... I can't get to them from work :( I will later, though.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I find the more obscure the prestige class or archetype the more HL does this. Drop a note to the changes people for them to check the not doing 1.5 damage for DEX.

EDIT: disregard, I noticed where you said you corrected yourself.


Had a similar problem come up (oracle wood bond was adding to damage) and dropped them an email. They corrected the problem and emailed me back in about 4 days. Problem was corrected the next time I downloaded updates.


I sent in the email last night and am awaiting their reply :)
