Bootstrap chosen feat from category?

[TCArknight]

Ok, I have a class ability that bootstraps 2 feats. One is set, and the other is selected from a category (fCategory.Teamwork). I've got the chooser set up to pull all of the fCategory.Teamwork feats, but I can't recall how to make it only choose qualifying feats and bootstrap the one chosen feat.

is there an ability example like this out there?

How do I tell it to mark the bootstrapped feat as meeting all prereqs?

You would be better off setting this up on the Class itself. That is how Bonus feats for Fighters, Ranger, Monks and stuff work. You can list the class ability as text but the "Class" thing has where you can setup how many bonus feats, at what level, and to only do Combat feats, and to ignore pre-requisites.

Otherwise you have to bootstrap EVERY combat feat to your Class Special and setup a Bootstrap Condition for each and everyone. Yea not a good way to go.

Give it the tag "thing.skipprereq" on the bootstrap as that tells HL to ignore prereqs on the feat and not throw errors.

Thanks Shadow, I was afraid of that. But, that also ties into my next question.

The Archetype I'm doing is for a Ranger. This archetype gains an Animal Companion at 1st level, and at 4th where Hunter's Bond is normally, they get to take a Teamwork feat which they have to meet the prereqs for.

In addition, at 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th and 19th, they get to choose a feat related to their companion, whether specific ones from a list or an Animal feat like a druid.

For the Ranger, the Bonus Feats are being used for Combat Style feats, which are regardless of the prereqs.

In this case, the Teamwork feat to be chosen needs to meet prereqs, but the Companion/Animal feats do not.

What are your thoughts on the best way to handle this?

There are only two feat tables on each class, and Ranger is already using its first. I'd add a configurable for this archetype, and put the two different feat tables you need on that.

I'm having the same issue as in the other thread.

I added the configurable cfgSRBonFt to the archetype, then from the feat I try:

First/1000
root.linkage[varies].child[cfgSRBonFt].field[cfgMaxF1].value += 1

and get the "Script reference is invalid under the circumstances" error.
