Not all races show up in selection #151

Not all the races I have available, show up in the list. This happens both in the latest versions of v11 and v10. See picture: image

In each races "Requirements" field, you would need to have a "Core" race entered, leaving it blank only if it is a core race. Example, your "Air Genasi" probably has its "Requirements" field blank, where as your "Air Genasi (Legacy)" probably has "Air Genasi" in its "Requirements" field. AG doesn't show up because its the core race, but AG(L) does because it is linked to AG. Check out ccjmk's YT on Races. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1NFJ901FSI

Hi, the video was helpful and when I remove the requirements, it indeed fixes it, but I did doublecheck the list and Air Genacy(Legacy) had just Genasi in there, which didn't work. To make it even weirder: if I add genasi to both, they just don't appear at all. All the races I'm using are gotten through DDB importer, I have gone through a lot of the races and all of them have the requirement "racial feature" as feature type, which is something your video warns against doing.

EDIT: forgot to add the pictures image image

In your images, you would need to have a race called "Genasi" for the Legacy to show up. The reason the AG show up is because they do not have a required race. I too imported races from DDB into my world. There is a lot you have to fix if you want things to look clean. DDBI will copy the same info as a core race, meaning if you have an Elf, and then have the High Elf look to Elf as a requirement, your High Elf in the builder will show the information from Elf, and for High Elf. What I did with my races, was to keep the things that is shared between every subrace in the core "Elf", then I trimmed "High Elf" of any duplicate data like Keen Senses. This way when I look at my High Elf, it does not show Keep Senses twice. I also removed the feature. There is a lot of work involved with what I did, but in the end, it looks cleaner in the builder.
