I recently purchased Hero Lab to use for two PFRPG APs and as an aid when I GM PFS events in Grand Rapids. As I also have a current subscription to the PFRPG adventures and APs, I was wondering if the fine folks at Paizo had any plans of providing the HL portfolios for the major NPCs in either of these product lines as a download on their site? As HL is the official character generator tool for PFRPG, I would assume that at least one developer in-house is using this tool on some level.
Thanks.
On the business end, not only would it make Hero Labs more attractive to those who haven't considered integrating it into their adventures, it would also benefit Paizo by strengthening their brand.
...what?
Paizo doesn't make HeroLabs. That is a wholly independent product that is not even officially supported by Paizo. And moreover, why would Paizo care that more people do or don't buy Hero Labs?And you know what would make Hero Labs more attractive to those that haven't integrated Hero Labs? A more customer friendly pricing structure.

I have a terrible memory, but that really isn't a main point.
Paizo still doesn't make HeroLabs. It is still an independent product. And Paizo still doesn't have any investment in the amount of people using or not using Hero Lab.

The point of my OP remains valid, even if you disagree. I expect Paizo would want to support Hero Lab, albeit in a limited capacity, as it draws further attention to PFRPG. I do not feel the question posed in my OP to be out of line as inferred by your replies. If the official answer is no, then I suspect PFRPG/Hero Lab users will grumble, and begin sharing NPC portfolios on these forums and the supporting forums at Lone Wolf.
And if Paizo has no investment into the number of PFRGP players that use Hero Lab, why even bother to agree to license PFRPG content with Lone Wolf? Your statement is confusing to me...

Probably legal crap.
And the chance Paizo would provide NPC portfolios is slim and I would hope that the priority of that is far behind a decent errata system.

You really really need to chill out and relax on the topic if Hero Labs. Many many people have told you that the pricing structure was up to you. You could buy the HL product AND NOTHING else and add it all yourself (The adventure paths, Game Mastery Guide and the Core Rules Included in the basic pricing structure).
So that is 29.99. If that is not friendly enough for you then that is fine. If you want to pay others to add the APG, Bestiary and the Armory and race supplements.. you can do that too. But you Cartigan do not seem to want to pay any one to add the data to any and I mean any character generator or DM tool (of which Hero Labs is both, making for one of the best DM tools out there). If you as a person choose not to buy it then that is fine but stop and get off the high horse already about Hero Labs.
