I am trying to enter a class that gains a feat at a particular level. I've noticed that if I add the feat as I would a special ability, then Hero Lab seems to ignore the level I've specified and adds the feat right at level one. To try and learn more of what I might be missing I have been looking over other character classes.

The Ranger class adds the Endurance feat at 3rd level. To do this, it seems that there is a "Class Special" called cRgrEndur that calls cRgrEndHlp through a bootstrap. cRgrEndHlp does not show up anywhere in the editor that I can find. When I open the srd_class_ranger.dat file, I see that it is a thing that calls a bootstrap to add the fEndure feat. It seems to call a class method to verify the level using (count:Classes.Ranger >= 3).

It seems that this second bootstrap thing is only added through a program editor, not the Hero Lab Datafile editor. Does anyone know if this is the case or if I am missing something? Should I complete my class as best I can and then edit the .dat file to contain these additional bootstraps?

Thanks,

Colen said at one point that the ranger was written before other pieces of HL were properly in place, which is why it needed a class special to add a helper object, to add a feat at a specific level.

Speed of Thought, from the Soulknife, is a bonus feat added at 6th level.

Note in the bootstraps menu, there's a condition button?

Here's the version to require soulknife Lv6: (Phase: First, Priority: 10000)
count:Classes.Soulknife >=6

Thanks mgehl. I have been trying to get that to work. Without that line my feat adds at level 1. With that line (modified for my class, of course) it never adds. I suspect I am doing something wrong, but I haven't figured out what yet. I'll keep plugging at it.

Thanks again,

Alright, I just tried it again and it worked perfectly. Now I wonder just what I did wrong before!?!?
