How to add simple fiendish template to an animal companion ?

jjacko · January 11th, 2015, 12:35 AM

For some reason, when i look in my Hero Lab at the templates that are available for an animal companion, the simple template Fiendish doesnt appear in the list (it is not even greyed out like most of the templates, it is totally absent) and as a consequence i cant add such template to the companion.

Is this behavior a bug or is it on purpose ?

Is there a way to add the fiendish template to an animal companion ?

Thanks for any help about this

Totally a bug. A very non-logical bug as I see no reason why it does not display. It and the celestial template appear to be the only two that do not display.

Why you wait if you make a copy of the template in the editor and give it a new unique ID. Then do a "Test Now!" you can get the template to show up. Which makes it even stranger for why it will not display.

Make sure you report the issue also.

It's probably the Unique bootstrap thing I talk about in my intro video. Those templates are bootstrapped to the animal companion with a condition, so they can't be added by a user.

What is the "condition" they are looking for?

Code:

     <bootstrap thing="tmCelest" phase="First" priority="500"><![CDATA[
        ((fieldval:PalLevel >= 11 | (CompPower.arPalEmKni & fieldval:PalLevel >= 8) | count:HasFeat.fCelesServ) | CompPower.tmCelest) & !CompPowNot.tmCelest
        ]]></bootstrap>
      <bootstrap thing="tmFiendish" phase="First" priority="500"><![CDATA[
        CompPower.tmFiendish & !CompPowNot.tmFiendish
        ]]></bootstrap>

Sweet thanks! I can make an adjustment that will let this work then.

Thanks for the help, copy of the template worked fine

This still hasn't been fixed =\

Is there any chance of getting a fix at all? I can't figure out how to get a copied template of Celestial to work. if I copy it and try to test it it throws up a bunch of errors which is odd.

If you have the Community Pack installed turn on “ShadowChemosh Adjustemnts”. Switch to your animal companion and on the Adjust tab add the Other Adjustement called “Animal Companion: Feindish Template” or “Animal Companion: Celestral Companion”.
