Archetype multiclassing on herolab

[lunistg]

My current DM is running a long term game and has house ruled that archetypes can be taken as seperate classes. (i know this is not usually within the rules but is a house rule)

Example. My character is a martial artist 6/ Zen Archer 1. both count as "monk" still for such effects but otherwise count as seperate classes (normal flurry does not stack with ranged flurry according to DM declaration. but AC bonus, unarmed damage, movement speed, etc do)

My question is: How can I , if possible at all, get hero lab to do this?

do I need to make a new class that partially stacks (like a prestige class) or what?

If someone could help with making a Zen Archer class that would be great help, or at least point me in right direction.

I can give you an "overview" of how to do this but its not super easy and will take some time. These steps are all done in the editor.

1) Make a copy of the Monk class and give it a new name like "Monk 2" or something.

2) Make a copy of the Archetype "Zen" Archer. But you can't do a direct copy so based on what you see you will have to make a "NEW" archetype copying over each small thing from the Zen Archer copy you made.

2a) On the new Zen Archer make sure you set it to be for your new "Monk 2" class.

3) Add the Monk 2 class to your Monk character and then apply the new "Zen" Archer Archetype for the Monk 2 class.

I am not sure how well things will stake together actually as many of the same things will get added to the character. But you will have to fix each of those problems as you find them.
