Test Domain KEY:Divine Domain ~ Test Domain CATEGORY:Special Ability TYPE:Cleric Class Feature.Class Feature.Divine Domain DESC:The Test Domain is used for testing PCGen. Must Be Lower Define Stackable? Multiple? Choose Bonus Ability Pool Combat bonus Stat bonus Modify VAR Cost The contents of this file are: # Ability Name Unique Key SORTKEY Category of Ability Type Var. Because the life domain that is already included in the SRD content can be found in a "srd5_abilities_class.lst" file, for organizational purposes it is probably a good idea to keep the names similar so I chose "homebrew_abilities_class.lst" (.lst files contain the actual classes/abilities, etc to be loaded).
Next, we create the file with the actual content that you want to add in the same folder. GAMEMODE:5e # This has to be 5e so pcgen knows this is 5e contentĪBILITY:homebrew_abilities_class.lst # This line loads the abilities file that includes the test domain in my case TYPE:Homebrew.M圜ampaign # Defines the structure that will appear when selecting sources in pcgen The contents of this file should be (note that anything that comes after a # is a comment, text that is ignored by the program and that I am using to explain some things): CAMPAIGN:My 5e Homebrew # Or other names if you want This is the main file that is going to list the files with content that you will want to load. pcc extension are what pcgen uses to know what content to load. Inside this, we create a file called "_my_campaign.pcc". We are going to ignore that for now and create our own "homebrew\my_homebrew" folders: (.)\PCGen\6.07.08\data\5e\homebrew\my_homebrew You can find a "wizards_of_the_coast" folder which contains all the information from the SRD (hint: use what you find here to both understand the syntax of things and/or copy content to be changed).
#Pcgen 5e data windows#
I'm using windows so this is what the path is for me: (.)\PCGen\6.07.08\data\5e In your pcgen installation folder, you should be able to find a "data" folder that includes a "5e" folder. Here is what I have learned (mostly from online searches and experimenting):įirst, in order to not mess with the base SRD content, you probably want to create a separate folder for your content which we will call "homebrew". I did fiddle with some Pathfinder content before (minor fixes to abilities mostly) so I thought I'd give this adding domains for 5e thing a try.
#Pcgen 5e data full#
This is a complex enough matter that I think a full explanation of all the features of PCGen needed to master adding is a bit beyond the scope of what I can provide here.
#Pcgen 5e data how to#
I suggest you take a look at the numerous tutorials and videos you can find online and even their discord channel 1 for advanced help on how to to this. Regardless, your best bet to include the source materials that you want is probably to add them yourself: Adding content manuallyĪdding content to pcgen can be a lot of work. You can also check their page on Publishers and Source Information but again, the information is probably quite outdated (5e is never mentioned). (.)Ĭlearly the fact that they are still referring to the future release of 5e this is very old but I would guess the situation of only being allowed to release SRD content is unlikely to have changed.
#Pcgen 5e data license#
(.) Due to license issues, the program can support 4th edition and the upcoming 5th edition (known as D&D Next) but we cannot supply any pre-made books.
A few examples of this idea from their FAQ/Page: However, it is clear that they only provide SRD content for 5e.
I can't really prove this as a lot of the information found on the FAQ and pcgen website is outdated. Non-SRD content needs to be added manually
