Archetypes in Hero Lab for Pathfinder RPG

[Erikull]

I'm trying to look at a few different character types in Hero Lab and am having a damnable time finding out which archetypes are in which books. Finally thought I had it figured out and blew 12.99 on a worthless (to me) book.

For instance, this Adventurer's Guide description:

"A wealth of new player options, including feats, spells, magic items, prestige classes, archetypes, and new abilities and powers for a wide range of classes."

Can you be more vague? WHICH archetypes?!

I can't even find a single god damn archetype for a paladin!! What am I missing? Where are the bloodrager archetypes?!

There has to be a way this could be listed better.

Please take a deep breath. HL is a good tool, but you should still have access to the source materials that HL uses. I just took a look there are ~50 different archetypes for the Paladin. A quick list is:

• Advanced Class Guide - Holy Guide (archetype); Temple Champion (archetype)
• Advanced Player's Guide - Divine Defender (archetype); Hospitaler (archetype); Sacred Servant (archetype); Shining Knight (archetype); Touch of Serenity (feat); Undead Scourge (archetype); Warrior of the Holy Light (archetype)
• Advanced Race Guide - Redeemer (archetype); Stonelord (archetype); Tranquil Guardian (archetype)
• Armor Master's Handbook - Legate (archetype)
• Blood of Shadows - Dusk Knight (archetype)
• Cohorts and Companions - Divine Guardian (archetype)
• Divine Anthology - Iomedan Enforcer (archetype); Oath against the Whispering Way (archetype); Oath of the Mendevian Crusade (archetype); Oath of the People's Council (archetype); Oath of the Skyseeker (archetype)
• Familiar Folio - Chosen One (archetype); Emissary (archetype)
• Healer's Handbook - Invigorator (archetype)
• Heroes of the High Court - Virtuous Bravo (archetype)
• Horror Adventures - Martyr (archetype); Soul Sentinel (archetype); Tortured Crusader (archetype)
• Inner Sea Combat - Iroran Paladin (archetype); Oath against Chaos (archetype); Oath against Grotesquery (archetype)
• Inner Sea Magic - First Into Battle (equipment); Prayer of the Fourth Act (equipment); Sword of Valor (archetype)
• Knights of the Inner Sea - Combat Healer Squire (archetype)
• Legacy of Dragons - Silver Champion (archetype)
• Monster Hunter's Handbook - Banishing Warden (archetype)
• Occult Adventures - Ghost Hunter (archetype)
• Occult Origins - Mind Sword (archetype)
• Ultimate Combat - Divine Hunter (archetype); Empyreal Knight (archetype); Holy Tactician (archetype); Sacred Shield (archetype)
• Ultimate Intrigue - Gray Paladin (archetype)

I will also note that I do not think that Adventurer's Guide has been released yet.

I'm also pretty sure that it you contact Lone Wolf within 30 days you can get the unneeded book taken off your license for a refund.

A site like Archives of Nethys or d20pfsrd would probably tell you where a given archetype originated.

I usually go with getting everything for Hero Lab, and using HL to determine where anything is found.

go to d20pfsrd.com, and find the archetype there. At the bottom of the page, it will list what source it was from.
