Dragon Campaign

I started a dragon campaign Sunday evening when a couple of our regular players couldn't show up.

I am using Dragon magazine #320 which has 20 levels for dragon advancement as a starter but would like to use Hero Lab to work up dragon characters with 1 hit dice per level.

Is that possible with Pathfinder and Hero Lab? What do I need to do?

I was starting with NPC clicked but there are a lot of possibilities which confuse me.

I would also like to give the PCs the ability to have the equivalent of character classes equal to their dragon hit dice so they can be different from each other.

Has anyone done something like this?
 
You would most likely need to build a custom Dragon Race with zero hit dice. This way you can easily give class levels instead of hit dice. Then I assume as the Dragon gains hit dice it gains abilities? Assuming that is the case you would bootstrap the "Racial Specials" on to the race with a Bootstrap condition that checks for level.

In example First/500:
Code: 
count:Classes.? >= 2
The above would cause the Racial Special to appear after the character has gained two class levels of any two classes.

If new to the editor I would recommend reading the Glossary of Terms. Then reading FAQ#2 about the Editor which has intro videos. And finally for a in-depth look at bootstrap conditions look HERE.
 
If your doing true to that article you might also want a constraint that they can only take other classes when they hit an age category.

Also you should convert the dragons over to the pathfinder variants as they are different. There is also a dragon article on using the chromatics as well as the metalics so your players could have 12 dragon types to choose from.
 
I took a quick look at In The Company of Dragons and it doesn't do what I am looking for. Thanks for the info.
