Animal Archive - Boon Companion?

Well-known member
I just purchased the Animal Archive for Hero Lab. It seems to be working fine, but I don't see the feat Boon Companion in it. I know that appeared originally in Seekers of Secrets, but it's also in AA ... did that not get included in the data file for some reason?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. Apparently HL doesn't let you add Boon Companion to a character which has gained an animal companion via Eldritch Heritage.

EDIT 2: This is really weird.

I can use the feat if I make a regular sorcerer with the Sylvan bloodline, and I can use it if I make a multiclass wizard/fighter. If I make a level 1 Fighter (who doesn't even have a familiar/animal companion), I can still see Boon Companion in the list of feats even if I don't meet the pre-reqs.

But with the Bard I've attached who has Eldritch Heritage (Sylvan bloodline) to get an animal companion -- not only can I not use Boon Companion, but the feat doesn't even appear in the list of feats! It's like it doesn't exist in this case. Very weird.

In your Sirocco Southhaven, you don't have Animal Archive or Seeker of Secrets selected in the Configure Hero.

I selected both, and the Boon Companion was listed in Feats, and was selectable.

(Once I added it, Hamadi was in the pull-down list)

Old characters retain the Configure Hero settings they had when made, so if you buy new packages and can't find something in them, make sure you check the Configure Hero form first.
