Ultimate Magic Improved Familiars?

[Zan Thrax]

Is there a checkbox somewhere that I have to set to get access to the Improved Familiars from Ultimate Magic? I'm levelling a character who's taking Improved Familiar at seventh level and can't choose to give him a cacodaemon.

Ctrl + K brings up the configure hero options.
Scroll down the list until you see the Ultimate magic entry, Tick the box.

This only works if you own the Ultimate Magic Dataset though.

The Cacodaemon isn't in Ultimate Magic - it's in Bestiary 2. All Ultimate Magic does is to modify the cacodaemon race so that it's an option as a familiar.

So I have to buy the bestiary data set just so I can use my imp familiar feat? Jesus.

If you were making a cacodaemon familiar by hand, you'd need to purchase the Bestiary 2 book to get the race's statistics. Hero Lab handles it the same way.

You are also able to use the built in editor to add whatever content you need. That is the free but does take time. So you actually have some options.
