Hi everybody. As a new DM and Fantasy Grounds user for about 3 months, you guys have always come to my aid whenever I needed any help and I wanted to thank you for that. Fantasy Grounds has always been a warm and inviting community to be a part of. I am currently struggling to add a 3rd party Rogue Archetype called the "Shadow Warrior" which I bought online as a pdf from DriveThruRPG and unfortunately I don't see it as an option to purchase here in the FG store. About 2 months ago I had a similar problem with a player's needing an UA Druid circle that I needed to create for her. I own the core books from the FG store, and I am aware that they are read only files, but I distinctly remember when I created an additional Druid class with her new Druid circle that there was some way of duplicating the Druid class and that the copy was then able to be unlocked so I could just add the Druid circle without having to create a Druid class from scratch. I can't remember how I did that and can't find any info available online. Can someone remind me how to do that? I would be grateful since my wife is really looking forward to playing a Shadow Warrior and I really don't want to disappoint her.

Awesome! Thank you Zacchaeus, it's all coming back to me now. :) It's the SRD that I can duplicate, not the PHB. That video is amazing and a great help to newbies like myself.

You can duplicate from the PHB as well; as long as what you are creating is for personal use only.

Start FG and go into Manage Characters. Select the campaign that you created the character in and load it up. You should see the character when you click the big PCs button on the right. Click the blue arrow to export the character. You can now import that character into any other campaign from the join screen.

nvm all the dm need to do is when i hit level 6 and want to multiclass he levels the character up for me with the paladin class entry that has the oath in it. and now it says shared. or the dm can drag the homebrew content hes made into the chat window and it will make it public to the players
