HP progression of companions without HP table

[marchitek]

In BG2 EE there is new companion with non standard class,

Spoiler

namely Wilson, the Grizzly bear

by non standard I mean there is no entry in HPCLASS for this class and consequently hard to say which HP table this class will use. I guess mods can also add such companions to the game.

My question is how HP progression looks like for such characters? Are they using warrior table (since HPWAR is default in HPCLASS) or just not progress at all (at least in standard way)?

"Grizzly Bear" is a fighter kit. Of course it uses the fighter tables.

Ah ok I seem my mistake. One thing is that I was thinking that every kit need to have entry in HPCLASS, but in my code I have fallback to class table anyway, so this works fine for me. My confusing was caused by "CEBEAR01" cre which has script name "Cernd" and I took it as joinable npc CRE (I use K4thos' JOINABLE_NPC_ARRAY macro). I juts saw that my code fails on BROWN_BEAR class in resource that has bear in name and I assumed this is that new character.

CEBEAR01 is a version of Cernd for the Faldorn fight, in which he's not in the party but fights Faldorn anyway. As Cernd doesn't actually have the ability to turn into a bear, this is unused in the final version of the game; it's a relic of something that got removed during development.
