I created a creature and added the celestial template, upon doing so I

noticed a few things:



1) No Template Celestial (Common) was found. I looked in the data set

and it is asking for a template called Celestial (Common).

2) The HD modifiers are based not on the actual HD, but instead on the

abstract HD total, i.e. instead of 8 hd it's looking at another HD of

12* This is a bug adding HD when the master is loaded in PCGen.***

See note below

3) The HD:SA: tag is not showing in the OS nor the output





A little bit along the same lines I've noticed animal companions and

special mounts are getting an extra HD/LA based upon the extra HD

bestowed upon

them by being Animal Companions/Special Mounts. My test creature has a

base HD of 4 and then +4 from being a special mount is CL=8 but the TL

is 12 when the master is loaded, add the Celestial template and the

TL=12/LA=14. Looking at the Celestial SR it comes out to be 17 (so the

template "extra" HD coming from being a special mount is. Looking at the

PDF output, the creature is showing a TCL of 12 and TL of 14 with the +2 LA.

The SR should be 13 (=8+5) instead of 17 (=12+5).

-I found that if I load the creature without loading the Master the

extra LA/HD is removed leaving the correct number. Seeing as certain

templates rely on an accurate HD for bonuses this would appear to be a bug.
