archtypes (and copying things that are in supplements)

mirtos · February 27th, 2013, 07:44 PM

I'm relatively new to Pathfinder datasets, but I've purchased all of the supplements, or at the very least a great deal of them. I would like to know when editing a using the tool to create new archtypes, why i cant copy from things i own a license to create new archtypes. Its often so much easier to copy an existing item and modify it slightly.

Copy protection.

However you can copy the scripts into new things and modify them for your own purposes.

Copy Protection. If you were allowed to copy an archetype verbatim, there woudl be nothing stopping you from creating your own .user files with all that information in it.

You can copy them if you click through the message, which allows you to study them. You just can't save those copies.
