    I'm getting an import error when I try getting this guy into D20Pro. I can't find any unusual feat or ability descriptions, hoping a dev can point me in the right direction here!

    Thanks!

    It has to do with the special ability tags. Haven't isolated which particular special ability line is creating the error, but that is what is causing the error. You could open it up and remove everything between:
    <specialabilities> and </specialabilities>
    and it will work just fine.

    (open the .hld20pro file in a text editor - it is a XML file)

    I guess now is a good time to request a more detailed error message :)

    If it could indicate which string it doesn't like, it would be mush easier to find what the problem is in these cases

    FYI... I have narrowed this down to the "Increase Damage Reduction" ability. If I replace the ability's name with "Increase DR" instead, it loads just fine. I'm guessing it somehow conflicts with another ability named "Damage Reduction (2/-)". Does that make any sense??
