(M&M 3e) Oversights for animal NPCs

[EightBitz]

In the game master's book, there are four animals that use Agility instead of Strength for Athletics:
Cat
Monkey
Rat
Snake, Viper

This is described in their stats as a 1-point benefit. In the .stock files that come with Hero Lab, this is noted in the Advantages, but it's merely a comment. The mechanic was overlooked. I've submitted the issue to support, but in the meantime, I created a .user file with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Data">
  <thing id="adAglAth" name="Benefit, Use Agility for Athletics" description="Use Agility instead of Strength for Athletics" compset="Advantage" uniqueness="useronce">
    <usesource source="srcErrata" parent="UserParent" name="Errata"/>
    <tag group="adCategory" tag="General"/>
    <eval phase="Traits"><![CDATA[perform hero.childfound[skAthletic].setlinkage[skAttr,Attribute,"thingid.attrAgl"]]]></eval>
    </thing>
  </document>

With that, make sure you include the "Errata" source under User Content, then under advantages, you can add "Benefit, use Agility for Athletics", and that should work.

^_^ I will have to check that out when I get home. Cheers!
