I don't think this is supposed to be the case, though it's possible I missed something in the rules . . .

Check the description of the Monk's AC bonus ability - the bonus applies to AC and CMD.

I was working with Spell Failure percentages and armor and when I create a Wizard immediatly go to Armor add full plate and equip it. When I switch back to the wizard tab it doesnt add any spell failure.

Also when I create a custom class and check the "Ignore Spell Failure" and add armor to the class I can actually get the "Chance of Spell Failure" to go to a negative percentage.

These were the same bug. Thanks for catching it.

It should read: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks, and Sense Motive is always a class skill for you.

Fixed all these in the next update. Thanks for the reports.

The Horse shows up an a companion option for me when I add 5 levels of Paladin, then select a mount, and edit that mount. Could you tell me more about what you're seeing or not seeing? Does your character have levels of any other companion granting classes (Ranger, Druid, Animal-Domain Cleric)?

When I create a 1st level gnome bard, and add a sling and sling bullets, I don't see any errors. I didn't touch the weapon size selector, since it's set by the race.

Why change the size of the bullets? The sling itself calculates the damage for being a size S weapon.

1. Begin with a masterwork item. As I read it, the special materials all either explicitly state or imply that items made with them are masterwork.

2. Add a +x enhancement bonus.

3. Add any special abilities (keen, shadow, etc.).

What I was trying to do was make a Mithral Shirt +1, Shadow. I didn't find any reason in the Pathfinder book that I can't do that, but HL wouldn't let me use a mithral shirt as my base item.

djc664's answer to your previous question was correct - a +1 mithral shirt is created in HL by creating custom armor, and selecting the mithral material and a +1 bonus. If you create a custom armor, using the mithral material and no bonus, it will be identical in stats to the mithral shirt item.

Not "Horse", but "Horse, Heavy". Essentially the House w/ the advanced animal template. I can select it with an error trigger if I set my Paladin to "Do not limit Companion races". The code for the animal I'm referring to is rmHorseHvy.

This is specific to Paladins, though. Druids and Rangers would not be able to choose this selection. Details on this regarding the paladin mount choices are on p.63 of the core rulebook.

I didn't change it until I got the error. It gives the no-smoking cross out and the error popup text says they are the wrong size. No matter what size I made them, I got the same error; that was what I was trying to relate.

Can l send you the character file to see what I mean?

All other animal companion choices have a sort of statblock for the companion stats, either on pgs 53-54 in the Druid section, or in the Bestiary. I disagree with your interpretation, and think that the Heavy Horse listing for Paladins refers to the same Horse animal companion that Druids can take. A 5th level animal companion Horse is superior to a Heavy Horse with no animal companion improvements.

The other option would be to go to the classes tab, and add the Advanced Creature template to your Horse animal companion.

Is the no-smoking crossout where you would normally find the equip buttons for a weapon, or is it attached to the name? If it's replacing the equip buttons, that's because you can't equip the sling stones - you equip the sling. Arrows only have equip buttons because they can be used in melee as an improvised dagger.

If it is by the name, my email is my user name here, @wolflair.com.
