animal companion


Advice


Hey everyone,

My player now has a level 4 druid. We are using pcgen to keep track of his character.
He has a animal companion but for some reason pcgen keeps making his companion a druid. How can we level his companion and make it the companion class?


Please post to the PCGen boards on Yahoo, HERE and I will approve the message and we can help you, OR, just send an email to pcgen@yahoogroups.com and I'll approve that one also.

Let us know what Operating System (windows, mac, *nix), PCGen level, and data sets loaded. It would help to put [PATHFINDER] in the subject line.

In the PCGen, In your character. Click the invetory tab --> You should see a Gear tab, equiptment Tab, Resources Tab. in Resources tab off to the far right you should see; Animal compainion, Mouth , and Follower. click on the Animal Compainion. Should see a list of animal compainion to choose from. Once to select the type of animal. The Pcgen will make a name to put a new creation(animal Compainion) and a tab down below next to your character name of the druid. all you have to do click on the +1 level of animal in the summary tab, that will add a next increase of the animal.

PS make sure every time you load your character in the resources tab the far right you should see a botton show load animal(if you already had made the animal that was saved.

Summary:
Load main character:
Inventory tab ---> resources tab (click animal compainion word off to the far right corner)
or already made ---> click the botten word load animal
in the animal summary tab click +1 level of animal type.
do not click on class leave it.

Sorry for grammer and spelling.
I hope this helps you.

If I remember correctly, there's a bit of a bug with the latest version also - when I tried to level my companion up to level 4, it boosted the bear to level 6. Downloading and installing the most stable alpha build of PCGen cured this though.

Best of luck.


You will also get wonky results if you create it before hand and try to link it as a animal companion to the master character. Use the above instructions on how to make a animal companion from the resources tab.
