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.
