View Full Version : Bestiary Character Pack Bug?

Using HD2 v2.29, I try to open several of the characters (specifically, the Deadly Ooze characters) from the Bestiary Pack and get error messages like the following:

Modifier not allowed on ability.

Always On is not a legal modifier on Acidic Secretions:HKA. Reason:
Always On may not be applied to abilities which use END
Always On will be removed from HKA.

I then get a similar error message about Persistent not being legal for the same power.
Some of these characters also give errors about Persistent for a Healing power.

Once I OK the error messages, going to the Powers tab I find the modified powers in red.
Each messed-up power shows the same mistake, Reduced Endurance (1/2 END; +1/2).

If I correct the Reduced Endurance advantage by editing, the power becomes correct (and the red text turns back to black).

Is this a bug in the Character Pack?
Or is it due to these characters having been created under v1 and not converting correctly?
Is there any way to prevent this error?

Thank you!

That would be it. There are changes to the templates. I have seen this same behavior on the CKC pack.

Not that I know of. However, all you have to do is go into the power, edit it to match the creature in the Bestiary, and save it (I usually do this to a different file). Then, the next time you use it, it will be smooth sailing.
