How to build Archetypes in Hero Lab for Pathfinder 1ed
 
I downloaded the conversion of 3.5 material for Pathfinder 1e, and I'm trying to create archetypes for the Warlock to represent the different possible sources for their power. See https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...1#post12388331 for what I am using. Does anyone have a good idea of how I would build this?

I'm fairly clueless with the editor.

Most of the time, people suggest looking at something that is similar to what you desire and then copy how that was done.

You should be able to make the text version fairly easily.
The scripting things to work automatically is the hard part.

With the copying something that does the same thing as you want as the best method.

There are scripting resources on the forums.

I'm not terribly familiar with Pathfinder and/or the Hero Lab build of it. Do they already do archetypes?

There are dozens.

There's a pretty good set of HTML tutorials included under Help in the editor, but I'm also going to take this opportunity to post my collection of links to editor resources.

ShadowChemosh's post on Editor Questions
Mathias' topic Hero Lab scripting 104: Using Math & Text
A Google Doc listing macros for scripts
Mathias' topic Hero Lab scripting 201: Location, Location, Location
Mathias' topic Hero Lab Scripting 401: Bootstrap Conditions
Mathias' topic Gizmos and how to use them

This last one's for the Authoring Kit, but Duggan's topic Undocumented Features

Hope that's helpful!

Just a small understatement :) There are almost 1400 archetypes for pathfinder 1 in hero lab classic

Only if you own all the books. :/

(To be fair, I'd forgotten how many they'd made over the years. :)

Good luck archetypes draw on a lot of information in different areas. So far I've made 3 with varying levels of success. I'm not an expert (<-I'm here and experts are allllll the way over here->) but if you have a specific question I might be able to help.
