Export and Import

[Booker Grimm]

I'm converting a 3.5e game to 5e. In the 3.5 I've exported the NPCs. Can I import them into the 5e and where is the exported file saved to?

Thanks,

Booker

You can open 3.5E NPCs in 5E, but a lot of the data won't match and you will probably get errors. It might give you enough information to work with, or it may result in you doing too much extra work to get them to operate in FG correctly, and it may be better for you to enter the relevant data manually, as there could be old 3.5E data still present in the 5E NPC that can cause issues down the line.

To allow you to load a 3.5E module in 5E, you can either change the <ruleset> tag in the exported module from 3.5E to 5E, or use the universal module extension: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41034-Universal-Module-Extension

Thankyou. The extension did the trick.

Be aware that statistics are not equal between 3.5 and 5E. For instance, an AC value in 3.5 should not be the same value in 5E (in most cases). Attack bonuses, damage, damage types, etc are all going to have to be adjusted as well. There are a couple of good blog-type entries online from various people that talk about converting that I would suggest you look up.
