Editing level 1 5E downloaded characters, is it possible?

[Alexandyr80]

Hello,

I have Fantasy Grounds Unity Ultimate.

I bought some downloaded 5E characters because they come with all of the abilities preloaded.

I dont have to manually create things like dodge, spells, fighter types and all that.

I would like to change these PC's though, because I want different ability scores and races.

Once a PC is saved, can you go back and make changes to abilities and race and background and the like?

Thank you very much for the help.

Yes, but understand that things are not necessarily linked. Like if you change the Con score, hit points will not update. Somethings are linked, like if you change Str/Dex attacks will update. Or if you update Int/Wis/Char spell DCs will update.

In other words, after you make your changes, you need to validate that all the math is what you want it to be.

Thank you that is very helpful.

Does anyone know how to edit? I cannot figure it out.

Thank you for the assistance.

Just click where you want to change something and type in a new something or delete the something before typing in the new something.

Just another word of caution on the above if you change the race you'll need to undo everything that comes with that race (including stats, languages, speed, vision, size and any traits). Deleteing stuff in FG isn't an easy process. It would be better to create new characters to be honest and spend some time learning how to do that and how to create the character properly.

Those might be best as character sheets to drag the actions from instead of editing them on per player basis. You can make the character you wish and the just simply load up the actions tab with the built actions from the other sheet. You may get more success with this method. If its the type of sheets I am thinking they are.

I am surprised Zacchaeus left this link out.

Go to the bottom it has all of the class effects you can download and pull over to your characters.

Also look at taking the class at https://fantasygroundscollege.net/ for CODE95 – [ANY] How to Teach Yourself to Code Effects & Decoding the Effects Wiki – FGC. If you are new to FGU you might want to take DM101,102 and 103 first though IMO.
