A question about tables

[Jasondandr]

Howdy everyone,

I recently decided to change the default crit tables for all of my groups. I made the changes and then exported them. When I tried to import them to my other tables, they appear to be blank. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong and I'd rather not have to change them all manually. I might be missing a step or something. I followed the tutorial from the FG youtube. That being said, I'm sure it's something super common.

Any help would be very apprecaited.

Thanks,
Jason

You can't export module data from a campaign. The data needs to be in the campaign. I'm guessing you tried to change the tables from the original module without making a copy of them in the campaign first?

Yeah, but it was just the default tables so nothing was really lost. Ok, so this is just a misunderstanding of what I can do. It sounds like I need to change the default crit tables maunually then for the rest of my preexisting groups?

The standard FG critical functionality (assuming a mainstream ruleset like 5E) is to use a critical table called "Critical Hit". So, as long as you have one table called Critical Hit in your campaign, then FG will roll on that.

So, you can create your own Critical Hit module like I described above: make a copy of the current "Critical Hit" table from the current module (drag/drop in the tables list to make a copy) - don't change the name, edit this campaign data table as required - close the original module to make sure you're editing the right table and not getting confused, export this new table to a module and then load this exported module (not the normal critical module) in your campaign.

That makes sense. Thank you so much for the help.
