PAR5E Tutorial

[Zacchaeus]

im working on my 53mm compendium...
when I open it in fg it lets me view npcs by category...
is there a way to be able to edit the npcs (in fg), and still have it show by category and not just alphabetical?

NPCs are only shown by category in the Library; in the Campaign they are shown alphabetically, but with the new features in FG you can filter by category/CR etc

Seems my pregen character won't parse. Any ideas?

Hi Team,

I am trying to set up the features so that when you level, you can choose your fighting style and ranger conclave. I have watched the tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_-0...EcVqAHoYfezZbe. When this parses, all of the options that I want selectable appear under the Ranger Conclave heading instead of:

Fighting Styles

• Archery
• Defense
• Dueling
• Two-Weapon Fighting

Ranger Conclaves

• Beast Conclave

The options don't appear selectable when you level either. For instance, when you level to 2, "Fighting Styles" is added, but a pop-up isn't displayed to let you choose a fighting style. I'm not sure if this part can be done, but I'd at least like to get things organized correctly when you look at the class. The "class.txt" has been attached. Any help for guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!

Couple of things:

• I went back and tested to see if the packaged classes prompt you to choose your fighting style when you hit level 2, and they don't. So I don't think there's the facility to make the PAR5Ed module do something that the packaged products don't.
• You've tagged Fighting Style with `#abh;` and each option `#ab;` and those tags are reserved for the Subclass main heading (#abh; = the name of the Category ie. "Ranger Conclave"), and the actual subclass options ($ab;= the name of the subclass ie. "Beast Conclave").
• Out of the box the PAR5Ed module does not automatically allow the dialogue to prompt for the subclass choice. In order to do that you need to modify the xml output and re-pack the .mod file. Here's the post giving the line that needs to be added: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post293946

I've attached my version of the Revised Ranger in this mod titled Unearthed Arcana

Welcome zheil to FG and to the community.

It is as tsemana says; there's no pop up to choose a fighting style - you do that manually when your character gets to that level.

Additionally where there is only one option for archetype - such as he Beast Conclave you won't get a pop up for that either since there's only one option. However if you have the PHB or SRD open then you would get any archetypes in either of those volumes in addition to the one in your module.

Sorry tsenama you can't share Unearthed Arcana stuff; that is copyright WotC.

Ah, my bad, sorry! I thought it might be ok since people are posting their class.txt of the ranger.

I think pregens are borked in the public version of par5e Rob. As you have probably figured out by now even the one in the example in the documentation won't par5e.

Though I don't think anyone has done so yet. I believe the popular consensus is that you can distribute this on the DMsGuild website, just not here.

So, if you want, you can upload it there and list it for free or PWYW (or charge for it) and then just link to the file from here. A few others have done that with PCs and other FG resources.

Thanks! Is there a recommended formatting for doing your layout? I'd like to view it so I can use that moving forward. This isn't for distribution, it's just that some of my players want to use some of the Unearthed Arcana.
