A quick update. I have a beta version working of a data set that lets one create a Custom Race without the editor following the rules of the play test.
I have all the types, subtypes, Languages (mostly working), ability scores, and bonus ability scores in and working. I was waiting on doing the Racial Specials as the play test's "generic" versions should/could be in the next official update of HL. So no reason for me to do double work.
It took some work to get things working correctly. Right now I am pretty happy with how it is turning out. I have sent off the current version to a pair of my players for testing and so far the response is pretty positive. One player said "
If you know how to use HL then this is very easy to work with".
So I could have a basic working version to release as a Community Add-On "soon".
