Bootstrapping from an Item Power
 

I've added a couple of Item Powers from Book of Exalted Deeds that were previously missing. Unfortunately, I still don't know how to bootstrap from an item power. If anyone has any ideas on a way to do this I'd love to hear it.

I can only think of two ideas:

1) Create a separate special that bootstraps everything we need using conditional tags then bootstrap that to all the base armor. Obviously this isn't a quick and easy thing to do so I'm hoping someone can come up with something better.

2) Bootstrap things we need to the hero using a conditional and have the item power activate them with a script (such as assigning a tag). This would be much easier than option 1, and may be what I'll end up doing.

I see buttons in the editor called "Auto-adds", "Gizmo", and "Minion". I don't know if these would be helpful since I'm still a little unclear on how they work.

Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.

Thanks.

If there are any similar items already made, you could copy the format of that one.
