Thought I'd share some of my Hero Lab projects. Doing a lot of Greyhawk monster conversions for my Pathfinder campaign. No, these two are not in it, but they make for excellent practice getting use to the system.
First is the Ogrik, from Oerth Journal 24. He's not spot on, as I wasn't quite sure how to add a natural attack (there were some weird wording issues with the original stat block). Being an elemental in the original he also had a type-change, which changed a LOT of his stats. Not sure if a CR 12 is still appropriate for this version...

Awesome Blow As standard action, damage and move smaller foe 10 ft. +1d6 dam if collide with something.
Cleave If you hit a foe, attack an adjacent target at the same attack bonus but take -2 AC.
Mighty Blow The creature delivers a devastating hit that sends an opponent flying.
Power Attack -4/+8 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Next is the Zhem'Tahl, also from Oerth Journal 24. I had some problems early on adding a skill bonus, but I figured it out. I switched his feat out, as he didn't qualify for the original "Multiattack" feat, so I gave him "Flyby Attack", which suits him just fine in my opinion.

Shriek (Su) Once per day, a Zhem'Tahl can release a piercing shriek. All non-Zhem'Tahl within a 15-foot spread must make a DC 11 Fortitude save or become stunned for 1d4 rounds. This is a sonic effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
I love this program! It's a pain sometime to add in custom stuff. I've learned a lot just by opening up the other monster files and taking a look inside. Of course I've done a lot more than just these two, but open gaming license... copyrights... just not sure if I'm really "allowed" to post them up.
I haven't tried my hand at custom classes, or kingdoms, or anything of that sort yet. LOVE to take a shot at inputting some of the Canonfire classes in and converting them over to Pathfinder. Maybe someday. ;)

That's some great work that I just don't have the time to delve into myself, U_B. I'd love to see more of these stats, if Cebrion thinks there is no copyright issues with doing so.
Tough crowd. How about Bookas? Everybody loves hobo-faeries, right?

Conversion stats were taken from Enworld's Creature Catalog, I simply plugged the whole thing into Hero Lab.
And of course, there's always bullywugs. True to the Monsters of Faerun stats, though I added the amphibious trait that Paizo added in the Savage Tides campaign. Makes sense to me.

Marsh Move (Ex) Bullywugs can move at their normal movement speed through mud, marshes, and swamps with no penalty.
Summoning (Sp) When a bullywug cleric uses a summon monster spell, there is a 50% chance that one more monster than the spell would ordinarily summon will appear. There is a 25% chance that the summoned monsters will not be under the bullywug’s control.
Still trying to work out the conditional "summoning" ability, having the program apply it ONLY when the cleric class is selected. Rome wasn't built in a day, I suppose.
Interesting Bully.....
I would be very intersted in a file exchange... you say you have created these for Herolab?? As a POR, Template, or evan better... a *.User file?
I have been utilizing Herolab since Anna pointed it out to me several years ago... great program.. abit cumbersome to write code in for a "custom feel" but there is none out there better..

The basics are in a .user file, but the creatures with equipment and descriptions are in a .por file. I think we can arrange a file exchange. Give me a little while to get my file cleaned up and arranged. ;)

Sounds good, PM me when you are ready...
If it would save you time (and interest) I have already created user files for sub race types within GH.... Meaning instead of just utilizing the "human" in race selection, it would give you Human, Baklunish or Human, Rhennee etc
I did this simply because the guidlines (hate the word "rules") have ability modifiers for other races, but not humans.... and to me there is a difference in cultural aspects as well.
The code sets up default skills and crafts for sub-race types as well... ie the Suel were famous weavers (who knew lol) so it adds that to their skill set as a racial bonus.
The down side... all these are set up in the D20 version... but based on what I have read in the HL Forum, they are about 90% compatible with the Pathfinder version of HL, you may have to tweak it in the editor.
