Combining Animal Companion and Arcane Familiar
 

There is a prestige class in Races of the Wild called Arcane Heirophant that allows your animal companion the act as your Arcane Familiar:

Is there a way to do this in Hero Lab? So far, I took the Arcane Familiar custom ability and added Animal Companion (cDrdComp) and Arcane Familiar (cWizFam) as "Counts as Ability". I also changed which class its available to, but I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I have a feeling it's not nearly this simple. Anyone have any suggestions?

No, I'm afraid the only way to handle this would be to add a new minion type, for merged AC/AF, and the minions aren't exposed to the users for editing.

Does that mean I can't make a new minion type?

What if I created a template? Would I be able to have the class ability apply a template to the animal companion that mimics the benefits gained?

Edit:
Actually, it looks like I can do some things manually, such as adding a template. Granted, it would be on a case by case basis, but for my purposes it would be fine.

Yeah, I guess manually adding a template to the animal companion could be used to add the INT and special abilities of a familiar.

Sendric, Any luck with getting the Arcane Heirophant working within the Pathfinder side of Hero Lab?

Now that users can define their own type of companions, I think this would be much more elegant to support.
