Initial Comment:
Re: [pcgen][PSIONICS][BUG] PCGen 5.11.13 (BETA)

PSIONIC PSI CRYSTAL Optional Rule request:

Due to designer and description differences, an option to allow Psi Crystals to have HD and gain the incumbent properties entailed in HD gain (Skill points? Feats, etc.)

Tir and Bebberd were the originators of this discussion.

Eddy Anthony added:
I think this would be a good feature to add to the PCGen OGL set, a separate
set which would .MOD the Psicrystals for this interpretation.

Bebberd added:
I would say this should be the default then, and the No-HD should be the .MOD. 

Psicrystals do get HD, as do Animal companions and Special Mounts, per the "Rules As Written". 

Using the "Rules As Intended" as the default over the "Rules As Written" when the Rules that exist have not been errataed in the over 3 years the source has been out to correct them to "the intention"... 

EDDY's Reply:
Not quite, Animal companions and Special Mounts Bonus HD are explicitly
detailed in the chart under the class feature, there is no similar mention
of this in the Psion entry (or we would not be having this discussion). It's
only when you look at the monster entry and apply the rules that this
inconsistency become apparent.

On a technical level it's a little more difficult to .MOD it off than to
.MOD it on.

We know the designers did not intend for them to have HD and whoever
originally coded that section interpreted it that way as well. If both
interpretation are available does it matter that much which is the default?

Eddy, do you plan to do this still for 5.12, or is this an 5.12/6.0 item?

Now testing a fix for this to go in the PCGen OGL set.
