Question About Extension Ruleset Dependency

[claedawg]

Are extensions made for D&D 5E (and maybe some other rulesets) automatically able to be used with the CoreRPG ruleset (except for things specific to D&D or the other ruleset). But basic things, like inventory management and things that could technically be used in any ruleset.

Extensions can be tagged with a specific ruleset. If they are, then they can only be enabled in a campaign with a tagged ruleset without editing the extension.xml file - see the <ruleset> tag here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...n+-+Data+Files This includes CoreRPG campaigns - only extensions tagged for CoreRPG or no ruleset at all can be enabled for a CoreRPG campaign.

Rulesets have a Child < Parent relationship. So features that work in CoreRPG work in 5E (unless overwritten). But features in 5E are not available in CoreRPG.
This means extensions written for CoreRPG (generally) work with all child rulesets (5E, PF, etc), but extensions written for a child ruleset (such as 5E) will not work with CoreRPG.

That said, as Trenloe said, extension have a tag that limits what rulesets they can be loaded in.
