Adding simple templates to an animal companion

[scibat]

I am working on an antipaladin archetype for a home game that has a fiendish boon variation more like a traditional paladin bonded mount. It adds an animal companion with the intention to follow the same structure as the paladin, adding the entropic simple template at 11th level and then SR at 15th level.

The animal companion part was simple enough, but I couldn't find where in the coding of the Divine Bond or other paladin class abilities in the editor that the template and the SR are applied. I have found digging in the forums that there are restrictions on putting Celestial and Fiendish simple templates on animal companions and I can only assume that covers Entropic and other planar ones (I couldn't find them in the AC's template list) as well.

Anyone have any insights on where I can find more information to make this work?

Right here.

For the SR, add to the companion's Paladin Level field (which is "PalLevel" on the cAnimComp pick) before Post Attr 9999

For the template, add a CompPower tag to the minion before First 500 (CompPower.tmEntropic, for example)

Btw, if you have more questions on how animal companions work (like what tags activate their bootstraps), try copying the animal companion in the editor to examine.

The Basic Pack has an adjustment that will add the Fiendish/Celestial template to any animal companion.

You can easily look at them to copy the script logic if you wish.

That answers all my questions! I managed to figure everything else out, I just must have missed those tags. *facepalms* Anyway, thank you for all the assistance!
