In Bestiary they had a section on playing a monster as a Player character.
Basically if you were playing a campaign starting at level 3 you could play a CR2 monster and add 1 character leve to it. Then when you had gotten 3 class levels you got an effective class level as they lowered the CR by 1 (down to a minimum of 1/2 orginal level). So a Lyrakien (Cr2) Druid 1 should be a third level character and a Lyrakien druid 6 should be a 7th level character. When I try to creat a Lyrakien Druid in Hero Lab it treats the first 3 levels as Lyrakien sicne it has 3 hd.... Is there a setting to use "Monsters as Player Characters"? |

Seems OP is correct, I forgot that PF did away with ECL and CR is to be treated at level for Monsters as PCs:

Hero Lab tracks the CR of the creature on the Class Tab.
If there were such a setting in hero lab, it would likely be in the config screen (CTRL + K) in the list on the right side of the screen. If it's not there, feel free to add it to the feature request thread for Pathfinder. RavenX Pronouns: She/Her Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you. I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all. |

Cut and paste from the PAIZO reference document.

Just looked through the "Configure Hero" (ctrl-K) and while bestiary is there it does not have anything to check about Monsters as PC's. So I will look for the Feature request thread and post there. Thank you |

Actually submit it as a bug report, since they are in violation of the PF rules, it is a bug not a feature.
