So I am working on a bunch of Archetype (via Groups) for a fantasy game. For newbies who want to just select "Barbarian" or "Bard" and it will add Attributes, Skills, Edges and Hindrances. A shortcut character so to speak.

The important part, none of this should be "free" it should cost for each thing added, this is like a partially built character.

Problem is I have learned how to add Attributes and Skills so they don't reflect in the cost. How would I do the opposite?

Example Barbarian:

Pre-Traits 5000 Timing: Before Calc trtFinal
perform #traitadjust[skFighting,+,1,"Barbarian"]
(I of course Bootstrapped in the skill Fighting as well)
The Boostrap counts but not the raise to d6
Fighting 6, 1 of 15 (14 left)

Pre-Traits 5000 Timing: Before Calc trtFinal
hero.child[attrAgi].field[trtCreate].value += 1
Agility 6 but still 0 of 5 (5 left)

So do I need to actually add code to increase the cost?

perform #resspent[resSkill,+,1,"Barbarian"]

Not sure what it would be for Attributes.

I also tried doing the Skill completely by Bootstrap:
<bootstrap thing="skFighting">
<autotag group="SkillDie" tag="6"/>
</bootstrap>

Just gives me Fighting d4

It has been awhile since I have worked in HeroLab so have forgotten a bit. Thanks ahead of time.
