If you ignore the error message about 1st level and select the archetype, no further errors will be reported. Now create your new character - you'll see all the archetypes, even those you're not eligible for.

In the archetypes list, switch the "Only Valid Items" filter off. Perhaps this need to be a checkbox under the "Configure Your Hero" source and option dialog?Īdd one level of some class that has archetypes to your character. I'd like to request an option that will all players to add/change their Archetype after first level. In my game maybe there are spells that change your archetype?

Yes, I know there are spells that allow race changes for different reasons. If it supports changing my race as often as I like it should support changing my archetype. This is also a "pick at first level option" choice that Hero Lab allows no problem. It's a very clunky way of doing it.Ī second argument is that I can change my race as much as I like but not my archetype. I don't want to have to back our six PC levels just to change an archetype to then go and add back the six PC levels. That might mean changing an archetype after first level. Not only is it a confusing error message, there are some people/games (my game) that allow re-tooling of a PC so that a player is more happy with it.

This gives me a confusing error that just says "Nothing to choose from!" But what it really means is "You can't do this after first level." If I'm creating a non-1st level PC (or say importing by hand one from paper/PCGen) I tend to add all the levels in the Level Up! box and then try to add the Archetype after. I would like to request that Hero Lab users be able to add/change archetypes after first level. I know the paper rules state that you must pick your Archetype at first level.
