I'm trying to include some custom races into PCGen for simplicity (custom setting). I've got the races down, easy enough. The problem I can't figure out is how to add the alternate traits for a few of my races.

I want to add an alternate trait that I can select for the characters and NPCs of each race, like with subraces or something.

And I haven't really tried anything beyond adding the over-arching races, because I can't find the right file for where alternate traits would go. So I suppose the question is more where do I add these traits to the files than how do I add them?

  • \$\begingroup\$ @C Anderson Yeah, I found that while I was looking around. Problem is that's just for a general selectable trait, not one to replace the default racial. Eh, nevermind. It'll have to do, I'll just make the default selectable. Not like anyone else is gonna use this. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Daraka this is quite a wide scope - have you tried taking a similar feature in an existing race, and tracing how that is implemented? For example, maybe take a look at a standard race (like Elf) in the Advanced Player's Guide? \$\endgroup\$

On this YouTube channel describing how to create races, this comment can be found for racial traits, assuming you're creating a "Dwelf":

Dwelf CATEGORY:Internal ABILITY:Special Ability|AUTOMATIC|TYPE=Dwelf Racial Trait.

I don't know if this syntax is still the used, but nevertheless I guess it's worth a try :)
