Validating Sources - Newbie question again

[Arjon Smithson]

I am loading the portfolio for 15th level Amiri in the Pathfinder folder in my portfolio folder. This is where all the pre-gens reside. When I load it, it gives me the initial error message..."The following sources are not present for 'Amiri', which may cause problems during load - 'Occult Adventures'

However the portfolio opens without any other error messages, or indications that something is broken with the character. Does this mean Amiri was generated using the 'Occult Adventures' source, but didn't actually have any content used from the book? Or am I missing something?

It means whoever created that portfolio used something from "Occult Adventures", and when you loaded it, that something, whatever it was, will not be present in your loaded version.

It may have been a spell or a feat or a magic item or piece of equipment or anything of that sort. Whatever it was, your loaded version is now missing that.

This is a bug if this is happening with the version of that pregen that we publish - the program should be able to ignore things like that unless something that's actually from OA was used in a pregen that's supposed to be using the core rulebook only.
