[egg_green]

Wow! That's quite a list! Very impressive!

Thanks for the update.

[Provos]

Thanks all the hard work. Now if someone could update the d20 data set as well.

[Sketchpad]

Awesome! You guys always knock it out of the park with updates BTW, any idea if Reputation from Linnorm Kings is going to be in the next update? Many thanks in advance.

[jbpeters]

According to the release notes you have fixed this problem.

"The Cleric's Undead Lord archetype's Corpse Companion ability had a Note at the end which needed clarification. There is now clear instructions on how to add a corpse companion. "

The description makes no sense could someone put in a description on how to add a corpse companion.

the current description says add a hireling pick the race/class and then add the select skeliton/zombie template.

I am missing something.

I added a hireling and I picked human/fighter (skeliton nor zombie were a chose) then I looked to add template how do you do that?

I want to create a skeliton compainion how do I do that?

Templates are on the class list, when you get the hireling, look through the class list and you'll see Skeleton Template there. It is kind of counter intuitive where to find templates, but that's where you'll find them.
