    Ok,

    Attached are screenshots of the General tab and the Attack tab, with preview, after importing a .por from HL using d20Pro vers 3.7.2. The screenshots include HL in the background showing what the correct values should have been after import.

    This was done on 64 bit Windows 7.

    1. The creature image didn't import.
    2. The creature's AC is off by 4 (should have been 22, not 18).
    3. The saving throws are off (should have been +11/+11/+8, not +13/+11/+6).
    4. The attacks and damage are off (should have been x7 attacks at +13 to-hit, 1d8+7 dmg, not x7 attacks at +18 to-hit, 1d8+14 dmg).
    5. I believe it is still re-applying size modifiers to attack rolls, even though HL has already applied them in the .por...but I can't verify this due to the already wonky attack numbers.
    6. Still no fast healing, DR (damage resistance), energy resistances being imported.
    7. I didn't re-verify, but I suspect weapon finesse isn't changing the applied ability for an attack to dexterity upon import.

    Basically, it seems like the HL importer is moving in the wrong direction with this release...it really needs some TLC, and some testing against imported .pors to make sure the numbers match, especially for non-medium sized creatures, and creatures that use dexterity for their attack rolls.

    Here's hoping it gets some attention soon... Attack Tab After Import.jpg General Tab After Import.jpg
