Having trouble trying to figure out how to add the Origin feature to this background. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Mergon]

1) You have to create the feature in the General > Ability tab of the Editor. Under Function, select Background feature. Click Save then Test Now!.

2) Once you have done so, you go to the Background > Background tab where you created the Background itself.

3) Click on the Background Special Abilities button. Add a new bootstrap and select your feature from the list. Click OK then Save then Test Now!.

You feature should now be added to your background.

Mergon, don't forget the Test Now! after creating the feature, and before adding it to the background - otherwise, the feature will have to be entered manually on the background.

Opps . . .

How do I create the rollable list for the feature? That's what I haven't been able to figure out. (IE. The background has a rollable feature called origin that has 10 choices under it)

 

[Mergon]

You add them in much the same way as you do bonds, flaws, ideals, and Personality traits, but you add them under Background Custom Ability.

Once you create it, just add it to the appropriate Background by clicking on the Available to Background button. Then Save and click on Test Now!.

Alright, I added them all in the background ability, and selected them to go in background, but there not showing up anywhere in hero lab I can see...

I was just testing this too, and I can't find anywhere that it is appearing either.

Now I accidentally put flaws into ideals and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. This is going well. Apparently deleting them out of the ideals tab after compiling doesn't remove them.

You need to restart HL or do a CTRL-R to clean the "memory" of what has been compiled.

So if these additional selectable background features aren't appearing, does that sound like a bug that needs to be submitted?

And the answer to that is no. Aaron clarified how to do this in another thread on backgrounds.
