Adding Companion options to UA Ranger

[SouthpawSoldier]

New HL user, and just getting my feet wet when it comes to DMing w/HL.

One of my players is using the UA Ranger, and I'm trying to figure out how to add Velociraptor to the list of options for his animal companion.

Alternatively, I could create an independent character sheet for his pet, but I'm looking to simplify the process.

I just tested it out, but the only problem is that where the change is made, if this were to get updated at some point, it's going to blow away your velociraptor changes. You have to go to Tools -> Show Editor, and then open up the COM_5ePack_UA - Ranger.user file.

Under General, click on the Animal Companion entry. Then go to Eval Scripts.
The third entry there is a list of animals, change the whole thing to:

var searchexpr as string
searchexpr = "(Race.rApe) | (Race.rBlackBear) | (Race.rBoar) | (Race.rGiantBadg) | (Race.rGiantWeas) | (Race.rMule) | (Race.rPanther) | (Race.rWolf) | (Race.r5CVGMVelo)"
minion.childfound[Totals].field[tRaceExpr].text = searchexpr

Hit OK. Then Save. Then Test Now! (Just to make sure it works)

My friend had a UA ranger, and we just reskinned the Panther to be his velociraptor.

That did it, and you were an outstanding help. Definitely bookmarking this for use in the future.

No problem. Glad to be of help.

EDIT: Nevermind. Found the answer to my own question.
