Adjustments and descriptions #901

Closed v13jf9 closed 5 years ago

v13jf9 commented 5 years ago

I was hoping for assistance on how to add/insert the language (Undercommon) to the Dark Elf sub race in PH, and adding descriptions to the wizard Lvl 0 cantrips ie Toll the Dead, True Strike, etc.

thanks for any assistance that can be provided

Mate,

Adding things just requires a decent text editor and patience.

I can add the description to the cantrip ability you take since the spell that is displayed on the character sheet has the description.

Is there any official citation about granting undercommon to the Dark Elf?

v13jf9 commented 5 years ago

ah i see i didnt notice that they do appear in the character sheet, i was more referencing when picking the cantrips the desc. was missing. as for the language this is the only place thats official DnD material that mentions PC drow elfs knowing undercommon, DnD pregenerated character sheets

Also is there a location that still hold the tutorials on editing the files in PCGen? Years ago i did do some of the editing myself with the help of the FAQ/Documentation page on PCGens main site but its had a 404 error for a while now [Drow Rogue 1.pdf]

Mate, Drow automatically knowing Undercommon (A trade language for the underdark realm) is not a given. Mike Mearls says it was intentional not to grant it as a base language:

interesting, ill have to delve deeper to truly understand why WotC would add that to theyre own pregenerated characters.

and do you have any info about the documentation for PCGen so i can "code" addition homebrew and output sheets? --- or was all of that the exact same as what is in the help files of PCGen itself?

thanks for all your help so far
