Ranger with Beast Mastery class feature gets a pet. Hybrid Ranger with Hybrid 
Talent and Beast Mastery (Hybrid) gets a pet if HotFK.part is not loaded, but 
does not get a pet in the companion pane if it is loaded. 

Looking through HotFK.part shows that Beast Mastery was re-written but this 
rewrite appears to have broken Beast Mastery (Hybrid) such that it no longer 
gets either the choice of a companion pet OR any pet stats showing in the 
companion pane. However, even in this state, an empty companion page does show 
in the character sheet.

As a strange troubleshooting step, I chose Ranger, and no fighting style, then 
selected Hybrid Talent as a houseruled feat. This allowed for the selection of 
Beast Mastery (Hybrid) as a Ranger Fighting Style, which, in this case, did 
allow for a companion to be selected in the Companion pane. This indicates to 
me that the issue may be with Hybrid Ranger not counting as Ranger class in the 
updated prerequisite section of the rewritten Beast Mastery rules in 
HotFK.part. It's not solely about Beast Mastery (Hybrid) vs Beast Mastery as 
Fighting Styles - the thing that made the difference was the selection of 
Ranger vs Hybrid Ranger.

I don't know how to go about making changes to these files though, so that's as 
far as I can go.

I think I found a fix.
In HotFK.part, within the   <!-- Begin: Special Beast Mastery Code Rewrite --> 
section, in the   <RulesElement name="Beast Mastery" type="Class Feature" 
internal-id="ID_FMP_CLASS_FEATURE_1030" source="Martial Power" 
revision-date="10/5/2010 1:47:04 PM"> subsection,

change the line
<select type="Companion" number="1" category="ID_FMP_CLASS_5" 
requires="ID_FMP_CLASS_5">
   Beast Companion Type
</select>

to 
<select type="Companion" number="1" category="ID_FMP_CLASS_5" 
requires="ID_FMP_CLASS_FEATURE_1030">
   Beast Companion Type
</select>

this section is now in the druid.part file as part of the sentinel beast 
companion rules, even though it's in the beastmaster ranger rewrite section.

This has been fixed with the proper language for hybrid rangers. This issue 
should be considered solved! :)

By the way requiring that a class feature exists inside of the same class 
feature would not have helped much.
