I will resend it with the mention of Core Rules (with an S). this is a typo on my part. as for the more numerous image, it is part of the update. every type of image used int the book creation is listed in the image tab. they cannot be hidden (as it could be in the past)

There is an error with the NPC Monster Factory function of the Advanced Bestiary. When adding a NPC source to the factory it no longer calculates ability bonuses for spells and special abilities.NPC Monster Factory Bug.jpg

Issues with Advanced Bestiary, Tome of Horrors Complete and Tome of Horrors 4
Hi all, I recently picked up the Tome of Horrors books during the black friday sale and came across some issues. In order to be sure, I tested this in a campaign with no extensions except for the official FGU Advanced Bestiary extension. Anyway, when using the ToH books, I noticed that they provided a "template" data record that is recognized by the Advanced Bestiary template factory. I was quite surprised as no other products I can think of (even those that include templates like the PFRPG bestiary) work together with the Advanced Bestiary template extension function. Unfortunately, when clicking on the ToH template data record, the usual fields that would be revealed were messed up (circled in red in attached image). The data fields are also not filled in.. using the templates provided by the ToH books wouldn't actually do anything even without the graphical glitch... Copying the template fixes the issue but I am sure that the data records should not look as they do in the attached image. Additionally, I noticed that the tabs which would normally be present (main, notes, help) on template data records were not visible(circled in yellow). This was the case with both advanced bestiary and both of the ToH books.
EDIT: Further testing has revealed that using the "classic" theme reveals the tabs that are hidden when not using a theme.
Finally, I noticed that neither of the ToH books have an actual reference manual. They both have a sort of "misc ref manual" link that leads to a few story data records (circled in green), but nothing that lets me "read through" the document as I would with a pdf, book or ref manual in other fantasy grounds products. The advanced bestiary also lacks a ref manual, though it does have a series of linked story entries that allows one to /kind of/ read through it - though it isn't quite the same as a book, pdf, or ref manual entry. I am not sure if the lack of reference manual is a bug or not for the ToH books or the Advanced Bestiary but I thought it was worth mentioning.Last edited by Navigat0r; November 30th, 2024 at 18:00.

The templates in all products outside of the Advanced Bestiary by Green Ronin are meant for reference only. The NPC template records in Tome of Horrors are not intended to work with the extension from the Adv Bestiary product.
That said, the extension for the Advanced Bestiary does allow you to create a wide range of templates for Pathfinder even if they are from different publishers. It was written in a fairly generic fashion.

I suspected that might be the case. When I made the post, I wasn't sure if the TOH templates were meant to work with the Advanced Bestiary extension or not. Does that mean that template data records originating from non-Advanced Bestiary products will have display issues like the one I posted in the above screenshot? Aside from the missing text on the side of the template window, the Advanced Bestiary templates were fine when viewing from both the ref manual and the NPC Templates tab. The ToH Templates had some text overlap when viewing from the NPC Template tab.
