I have some house rules that I want to implement, like allowing more than 1 drawback and giving free evolution points to summoners. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to just bypass the built in restrictions.
I would like the program to allow me to do/add what I want, but only warn me when I'm over the limit rather than restrict me.
I'd like to get the warnings, have text in red, but still be able to add things despite being unqualified.
As far as I can tell, there is no such option available in PCGen. There are a few houserules for turning on or off some restrictions, but nothing to wholesale turn off all restrictions and validations.
Most character generations tools already struggle to include all possible options from the core rules, advanced rules and additional material. It would be impossible to accomodate all house rule options in standardized character generation tools.
The pragmatic approach is to create a character to match your needs as closely as possible and than revise the intermediate character sheet with whatever houserules you want to apply. For example, I used a slightly modified way to roll hitpoints, so I created a whole character sheet with an online tool and just recalculated those separately.
