Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report. (fortunately, it was looking for Dazzling Display to fill that prereq, just listing the wrong feat in its text).

Fix this pls!

In the description of the Animal Type (Bestiary, pg. 306), it says "Proficient with no armor unless trained for war."

Rather than restricting it to light armor proficiency, I've interpreted this as meaning that the Combat Training trick (from animal handling) grants light, medium, and heavy armor proficiencies.

Otherwise, the riding dog as listed in the bestiary would not be proficient with the scale barding it's pictured in (admittedly, an illustration shouldn't be relied upon for this sort of thing). I haven't seen anything else that suggests a war-trained animal should need to purchase additional armor proficiencies. As 2 HD creatures, if they receive light armor proficiency free from combat training, the riding dog and horse don't have the feat slots available to purchase both medium and heavy armor proficiencies. So how do you get a mount in full plate barding?

If anyone's seen any errata or official answers that support this or refute it, I'm happy to alter my interpretation of the rules.

The Hydra ended up with 17 heads. It looks like it took all the HD and added on the initial 5 heads, rather than taking the additional HD and adding the initial heads (or even just taking the total HD as the total heads).

The hydra's natural armour didn't increase in line with what the bestiary says. According to the bestiary, each additional HD should add a head and a point of natural armour, but there was no increase in the natural armour.

When I add 7 HD to the hydra using the "Additional HD" option on the classes tab, the hydra has 12 bite attacks and fast healing 12. The # heads added or removed counter on the in-play tab also properly goes from -12 (all the heads chopped off) to +12 (they can't have a total number of heads beyond 2 * HD). I'm afraid I can't duplicate what you're seeing.

The AC increase with additional HD wasn't being applied. Thanks for reporting that, it'll be fixed in the next update.

While I am in 100% agreement here as Plate Barding is pretty common for a heavy warhorse and be strange to have to waste 2 additional feats to get it. On the other strange hand the write up for the Cavalier Mount says the following: The mount is always considered combat trained and begins play with Light Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat.

So by exact wording it is only Light by reading it RAW. Though JJ seems to sort of imply HERE that the wording was too change when the final version was to come out.

So while I will house rule all three armors for War-Trained it's not exactly what the rules say. Best I can show for additional info.

From the FAQ:

Added the option for Tieflings to use the variant heritages and variant abilities from Pathfinder #25. To see these, the Council of Thieves source must be selected. Because there are 100 different abilities, only the first 20, #67 and #100 have been added so far. A few more will be added with each update until the list is complete.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten them all done, I just have too many other things to do. I'm happy to fill in one or two requests if you need one for your character/NPC. They should hopefully be relatively easy to add in the editor, if you only need a few.

So far so good.
I go to the druid entry in the Core Rulebook and on P.54 they list a horse as a companion. It gives the horse a +4 natural armor bonus. Yet it does not give it to the cavalier's mount in Hero Lab?

Fixed in the next update, thanks for the report.

Because this effect only applies to Ride checks while riding the mount, not all ride checks, it isn't displayed in Hero Lab.

Starting with a blank character, I added a level of summoner, added the Eidolon, and then selected Quadruped. The bite's damage is 1d6+3, with a STR bonus of +2, so it's including the x1.5. What are you seeing?

Thanks for the report. I've put this on my to-do list.

HERE is the link to Jason clarifying that a Monk 5/Fighter 5 that did Flurry would have a +10 BAB.

I'm not sure if I'll get to it before the next update, but I've put it on my to-do list.
