Hi all,
I am migrating my game from 5e to PF and I reactivated my HeroLab account/sub to help with the PC migration. However, I have not touched/used HeroLab in almost a decade and I had some questions. I did google some tutorials but they are all 7+ years old so not sure they are valid. I am using the Classic app, but happy to use it online if these are limitations with classic:
Thanks in advance. |

You can do all of that with Classic. Online has no editor and less customisation.
Most custom stuff will either require you to use an adjustment, or do some basic editor work if a template/adjustment doesn't already exist. Monsters - adding HD or class levels is very easy. To lower HD you can use adjustments like "Racial HD". Current RPG's: Pathfinder (GM), Pathfinder (Player), Gamma World (GM, Pathfinder homebrew). HeroLab: 3.5 & Pathfinder.

Perfect, thank you. Is there a way to add more traits? Even if it has no mechanical impact and is just a text block for my own reference.

Certainly... feats, traits, etc can all be added with the editor. The easiest way if find an existing thing that it similar, copy it and then edit. You can always ask for assistance here and we'll do what we can to help you out.

Just to mention it, but Hero Lab Classic will be for 1st edition Pathfinder.
Hero Lab online can be for either Pathfinder 1e or Pathfinder 2e (plus other systems). |

Got it. Thanks. I play 1e so classic works.
