    Easiest Way of Duplicating Trait Descriptions

    Howdy, all.

    So, I'm creating four pre-gen characters for an upcoming Old West game (in GCA, then importing into FG). I've got the first one completely finished, and he has maybe 20-25 skills. Let's say I take the time to copy and paste the skill descriptions for each of those into his FG sheet.

    Now, the other three characters will have a lot of the same skills, overlap -- Survival (Desert), Riding (Horse), that sort of thing. What is the easiest way (if any) to duplicate all that work without having to re-copy and re-paste 20+ skills for multiple characters?

    Thanks!

    Drag and drop from the one char to the others?

    Edit the campaign data XML and actually copy the characters, or just the skills

    Thanks for the replies, all... I think export/import probably be easiest. Ultimately, I would love to build up a base character that has, literally, every skill (or at least all of the ones I use most frequently) with descriptions in place so I can just drag and drop what I need.

    You might see that ronnke has indicted drag and drop traits and skills are in his to-do-wish-list:

    Upcoming Features/Wishlist
    Items. Add the ability to configure items by type (General, Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, Armour/Shield, Vehicle/Mount, Spaceship)
    Drag n Drop weapon items to combat section of character sheet
    Drag n Drop traits, skills, spells, and other abilities character sheet

    https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...E-Core-Ruleset

    You could always add your thoughts to that thread and drop him some rep points while you are at it

    EDIT: Damnit! ronnke pretty much replied the same while I was out testing the ruleset!
